Bought a Weaver 2-bay LNE hopper from Trainz.
Can't imagine why I would need one......

It goes with your Eastern Seaboard motif.
This is likely cool to only me, but I got a kick out of it. M & G Hobbies in Delran, NJ was my go-to hobby shop. More than 20 years ago, I bought the box car with the red logo on it. I have never come across another M & G car, until today. Found one at the TCA meet in Philly, and immediately thought it looked different than mine. Sure enough, the logo is blue. Frankly, I am not very observant, so I am amazed I noticed.
The store has been gone for many years, but I had to buy it anyway.

Just got this yesterday. Wanted one for years. Like new condition.

@Scrambler81 I like it because of the Battleship New Jersey on it. Depending on when the car was made, it was probably just before or after she became a museum.
Definitely a good reason

Bought a couple things that I didn't really need but the sirens continued anyways. The NYC and DLW were from a desire to have some older rolling stock for a couple current and forthcoming engines. Then the NASA tank car was for fun. Oh and the real reason that I wanted to make the post was to give a shout out to Mr. Muffin's for some excellent customer service after I realized that I somehow messed up my email when placing the order.

Buying stuff we don't need is the name of the game, and those are so exceptional I would be upset if you passed them by. How I remember the days when I could get down on the floor and enjoy my trains, but now if I do that my wife would have to get my neighbor over here with the engine lift to get off the floor.

Man I love the battleship. Go Navy.
I got this Burlington Northern SD45 for a decent price. I had to glue the piece that's on top of the cab window back on. This makes my 5th SD45 in my fleet (3 regulars and 2 tunnel motors). Feels good to buy a train again after having a terrible summer.

@Scrambler81 - What is the SKU for that awesome looking boxcar?
@GeoPeg posted:I was also at the Acworth show, found 3 Hogwarts cars and a Madison heavyweight, all like new, all really cheap! Woulda bought more, but the overall pricing seemed a lot higher on most everything. Typed while sitting aboard The Chickamauga Turn train ride on this gorgeous fall day 😀

I also forgot to post this awhile back. My good friend Rick B. found this for me at a show.

Very nice; do you know what company made it; or is it a custom job? Is there a number on it?

Hahaha - my days of getting down on the floor for anything are in the rear view mirror. If I ever find myself on the floor, it’ll be due to an abrupt reintroduction to gravity.🙁🙁🙁

I'm in the same boat you're in but I have an ace in the hole: my neighbor, a former contractor, has a fork lift and is a train collector. If I spend too much time on the floor I just call him. He understands. 
A few new items. The different horns are sampled in the first video. In the second video, we see the first piece of the Southwestern Limited. A Vision Baggage Car comes tomorrow. The rest of the consist, hopefully soon! If anyone has the passenger cars to sell, please contact me.
