CAPPilot posted:Picked this up at the last York; just now getting around to photographing it. It was the last one at the LCCA booth....As some of you know, I've been looking for this Lionel LCCA convention car for a couple of years ...
It's interesting to me that your camouflaged car seems, even here, to blend into the background. Cool.

I just purchased my first kit from River Leaf Models, the F.W. Woolworth Co 5 & 10 building. Looks like it will be fun kit to build and will look good in downtown New Beau City. I'll post some pics when it arrives and when completed. Bo
Legacy #990 is will be delivered tomorrow.
Not lately, since Sunday at the TCA show but I am on the hunt !!

Have to agree with you --- horn is awesome
Everyone in the house hears it
The other day, I found this book at a second hand book store for the price of a magazine. Been wanting a copy for years...
The irony was I actually was within 20 feet of Link for the better part of an hour once, in a railroad yard several years ago, and I didn't know that had been him until the following day after he'd long gone. It still kills me to know I was that close and didn't know I was standing next to arguably the greatest railroad photographer who ever lived.
Bought my first prewar Lionel trains a few days ago on the forum, they'll probably be here tomorrow.
A Lionel Postwar A-A 205 ALCO set yesterday. Hope they are as nice in the flesh as they looked in the pictures.
Also got a milk car and 3 of my favorite cars, the 2 bay hoppers Lionel made in the 1950's. Thanks to all the friendly peeps on the forum lol.
Have two items on the way from forum members-an SP baggage car and a 2055 engine, both Lionel. The forum has become my favorite buying site this year.
I bought a LionChief Hallmark Santa Train Set for my wife. I just finished wrapping it for Christmas. She fell in live with it when she saw it at the Hallmark store, then I showed her the videos Hallmark has online. She thinks we are passing it by. She will love it running on one track and the Polar Express on the other! I was seriously considering breaking down and buying the Premier PS3 Western Maryland H9, my favorite railroad. I was looking at it at Mercer Junction a month ago, and I checked earlier this week to learn Dave still has some. I was feeling guilty about the cost. It's twice what I ever paid for an engine. After I decided to by the Santa set, I felt better!
I'll buy a used H9 when they come out with PS4 and one of you fellows puts a PS3 H9 up for sale.
My wife is going to kill me. Not only did I just pick up Legacy. I just reserved Lionel's new ESE Hudson. Boy am I going to the dog house. Oh yeah, MTH WIU is on the way
I bought an MTH non-powered NS Heritage Virginian SD-70ACe to add to my NS Heritage collection from Aaron's City Trains going out of business sale a couple of weeks or so ago. Brings the count up 13. I also bought a couple of Atlas coil cars via eBay. Nucor and CSI were two I acquired.
Merry Christmas

I picked up a good ZW which I am using on my Standard gauge loop of track on the floor. Really does a good job, better than the smaller transformer. Sent $$ for a box of vintage Lionel engines today so I am done doing my Xmas shopping. Merry Xmas to everyone !!
I saw that box of steamers...nice score Jim!
