Mark,
That curious device caught my eye on my last visit to the LHS. It was almost my Christmas present to myself, then it dawned on me, I don't even own a smart phone. 
Here are 2 new acqisitions:
AtlasO 6584-2 PRR Re-built USRA Box Car (X26c) #105200
AtlasO #6478-2 Muncie & Western RR Box Car #1269

Picked up these prewar American Flyer coaches recently. They're a bit crusty, but I plan on repainting them to go with my customized Marx CV.

Bruce,
You make me feel so much better knowing others are as slow as me at times! ;-) I hope to get it hooked up tomorrow. And yes, I do have a smart phone; in fact it is even smarter than me.
You know that you can buy a tablet from Walmart that you can download the MTH ap on at Walmart for $39.99. I plan on using this for the wifi dcs

My U.S. Mail lady brought this sign today on Sat. January 9th, 2016. I have a first class Mail Lady, this 14 inch dia. metal sign would not fit in my road side mailbox, so she brought it to the door to the train room. "Cool". Now I have to find a place to hang this sign. To be continued at, "What I did on my layout today".

So much to still learn about analog here, Mark, let alone digital. Even my DCS system remains unused. All in good time...in good time.

I bought one of the "rare" KMT/FRH UPS box cars at the Richmond, CA show today. That brings my fleet of the supposedly rare cars up to 54 units.

Will it become PT 109?
Perhaps PT 73?
A new ride to haul layouts and trains to meets. This should replace 2 vehicles.

That dealer can't be far from where my folks winter. Their home is around Chapman and Hewes. Certainly can't go wrong with a Toyota.

I was at the Train Show in Richmond, Ca. Saturday and I got a deal on the four binder set of Lionel Post-War repair manuals. Also, I met up with a parts dealer I thought was no longer in the trade. They Are! And My GF got a dvd about haunted places in the South. (who knew they sold things like that at a train show) I have to add some pages from the two binders due to some missing pages. But at $160+tax for all four, not a bad deal.
Yesterday my 5th Heritage Legacy SD70ACe Diesel.

Are you talking about Electric Norman? I was surprised to see him as well. Did you get the story of how his trailer was stolen?
