Buy anything cool lately?

Got an MTH Railking Naval Weapons Station Earle SW1200 as a late xmas gift.

I picked up a Legacy I1 decapod. I had no plans to get one, but you know how that goes.

It might come in handy

I called to reserve a Base 3.  I think the idea of unifying LionChief, TMCC, and Legacy on one application is terrific and shows commitment to backward compatibility and the customer generally.  But I also remembered to take my prunes and Metamucil this morning . . . .

We visited the Greenburg show at the Dulles Expo in Chantilly, VA two weeks ago and I spotted this:

Talk about "COOL" how cool is a set of reefers with cold Coors Light!

This year was the first time I purchased a train at a Greenburg show.  It was billed as "new" but wasn't.  Although it showed no real wear on the rollers, the smoke generators in the reefers produced 'smoke' the first time I fired them up...but, it all works and looks like new and I'm actually grateful the seller had prepped the reefers and knew they worked!  This is just such a hoot of a train set!

I wanted something different from what I have. This little bugger caught my eye. Did some research on the K-line switcher,not realizing it was diecast, comes with a fan driven smoke unit (or would it be considered an exhaust unit 🤔),and pretty nice detail. Along with the ore cars, I couldn't pass up the deal. Took her all apart, inspected , and serviced. Nice little running switcher! Again, now I know why so many miss K-line.

Waiting for the mailman to deliver my Halloween Doodlebug.  Watched a YouTube video and I was hooked.

Mine was a gift from Christmas. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. It’s such a fun, cool locomotive.

That are cute. and the train is perfect, unless you want to add a bobbler boose.  Personally I'd be running the engine back ward with the boose  tween it and the cars and either way it goes It looks like a mine train on a tourist train pretending to be a mine train,  Gret catch

Nice buys fellows, and another BTO item arrived this week, the UP VisionLine caboose in the yellow color…. This will go behind my Big Boy…. Happy New Year to you all.

Haha. And the bad influences hopefully will continue into the New Year! Cheers!

And Hopefully many years to come, but would love to see that ACL up close

@mpeck161 help me out here. When I look up MTH Railking 30-21016-1 there is no reference to NWS Earle. Is there a logo that I don’t see?

I treated myself to a Digitrax EVOX Evolution Starter Set.  Finally going DCC.

Whatever floats. . . wait . . . whatever runs your train
