Buy anything cool lately?

I think, myself and another guy were the only two county workers working  that day. We had gone out to inspect dairy farms and came back to Pittsburgh  almost at the end of the game. There wasn't another car or any persons moving around. It was strange then Maz hit his home run.

       
       


Fred,

Are you asking me? Or another Eric with a c.. I am Erik. ??

Confused because, one, the D&RGW M68 has never been done in O scale except this 2003 run Boo-Rim PSC piece.  So maybe you are asking another Eric? Or me, Erik?

Maybe I'm wrong Mr Fred Lindgren

Off the chart man, off the chart....

Hi Erik

Sorry to misspell your name.

I was just kidding about the engines. They are magnificent.

Wish I had the money to pick up those beauties!

Hey Fred, a satirical pun buddy.

Erik, Eric, Erick, Arrick, Earik, it's all the same.


I jest

I can see why it's pretty cool.


       

My Menards sauerkraut plant (converted to a pickle plant) needs support, so in

addition to building a cannery, I found today a Lionel pickle car, and have tracked

down an Atlas ART reefer.  (ART reefers were used in quantity to move vegetables

produced along the San Luis Southern, one remote, hardscrabble railroad!, in south central Colorado, where I envision my pickle plant and cannery will get their cucumbers)

Picked up a clean Lionel 2343 Santa Fe F3 pair at the Danville, IN show today, then some very clean Lionel tubular track and a Plasticville union station that was complete and nicely assembled from Train Central in Indianapolis.  Been also slowly aquiring some 2 rail equipment for a future project I may build, for good ol circle L is firmly entrenched at my house.  Mike

I recently discovered prewar tin...

 

 

Now all I can think about is finding more tin...

there's no cure for the infection....nice set!

Maybe not a cure Dave... but fleapay can sure placate the urges...

 

Ted

Nice. I really enjoy running my oldies.

I picked up post war set 1485WS ( still waiting for it to come in) original set box, all pieces have original boxes, including the transformer, original papers everything. and it looked other than a 6264 gondola lightly used the gondola some how got some rust on one set of trucks but I have at least 4 of those so no problem there. 2025 with 6466W, 6264 as stated, 6465, 6257 plus track and transformer. 

Absolutely love the Atlas Trainman cars that I just got.

Lionel 115th Anniversary Neon Pub Clock.

 

 

Just received this from MTH's stock but cataloged in 2000.

 

It will be the basis for a project.  A project that I tried to interest one of the VP's at MTH in going back to email of 2008.  In fact when Mike Wolf was here for the NS Heritage Event I started discussing it, he seemed to like it so much he kept finishing my sentences.  But over 3-years later still no catalog joy.  So I will make my own!  The artwork will be the pain.

went to a local show with my Dad today. Picked up a Plasticville radio station, and a Log Cabin, to be The Log Cabin Train Shop (anyone remember Bill Trushell?), both $5 each, because they were....glued (gasp!)

and a NYC red gondola for $10, and the dealer tossed in the street light (Kramer IIRC) for free, to go with the other one I found last year.

then when we got back to the car, and Dad opened the trunk, he said this was mine. 

I had spotted a bunch of 6" Marx I meant to look over before I left and pick up some...but I forgot about it..

 

 

Added another car to my McCoy TPC Circus string.

now that's a cowinkiedink! I was just watching Trains & Locomotives, and it was on the C&NW 1385 and the Circus Trains.

I received a gift of something that every train room needs.  A copper and brass spitoon.  The flowers were a nice touch with the gift.
