the ol Marx looks great Classico
Funny, I posted this last night twice and it never got into the thread for some reason. So, here's take three!
I found these book at a very good railroad collectible show in Portland on Saturday. It took a lot of discipline to not buy a great deal of stuff as there was a lot of good stuff there.
The MILW book has shots of the Lines West and the GA book has a lot of photos from the area where I grew up, all taken a year before I was born.
Yesterday the mailman dropped off my latest buys. A few hard to find items. A couple of pics of them................Paul

All these trains look fantastic... just wish I had em on the shelf lol.
Somewhere in my early teens, I built a Hudson Miniatures model of Old 16, pictured above, and a lot of their other vintage car kits...Mercer Raceabout, Stutz Bearcat, and Regal Underslung with a stage-coach like body. (I've seen the real Mercers and Stutzes, but not that Regal, not even in the old Harrah collection) Kits were wood, paper, and plastic parts, and good training for model railroading. Today in an Indy show I bought a Marx 3/16 worktrain set, and one of those Lionel civil war RPO shells. I think I will conjure up some kind of caboose for my "pickle" train out of this shell.
Today I just bought the RMT Savings Bond GG-1 and caboose to go with it at Nicholas Smith Trains. I am thinking I would like to upgrade that GG-1 to the MTH Protosounds 3.0 or the Lionel Railsounds 5.0. Chris Gans was telling me the GG-1 and caboose were former K-Line eqipment that RMT bought when K-Line went out of business.
I meant to say it is the O-Line version GG-1 that I bought.
Bob Dixey,
Hay how about some pictures! Love to see the old (RMT) K-Line GG1 & Caboose.

Matt,
Picked up this great Tin Plate Lionel, I remember Isaly's Box Car, from Ryan one of our OGR members. I tried to add this Lionel Isaly's Box Car to my 263E Work Train when it first came out, but was to late to acquire it. Ryan was nice enough to sell it to me for a real decent price. Colors on this Lionel Tin Plate are just fantastic, pictures do not do it justice.

Took this puppy out on her maiden voyage using the new MTH WiFi units on the layout. Needs SUPER TIU mode but still a nice system

Picked up a nice Karl Bub (KBN) station. It was so cheap I couldn't pass it up.
Well, it might have been if I could have gotten it sooner...but I had already stolen one from another kit, since this tender tank spout kit was not available when I wanted to finish the water tank.
Matt,
Fantastic Santa Fe!

This past weekend I bought a 7-11151 B&O Capital Freight set, available only at Target Stores. It was available in 2009 or approximately that time range. I've been wanting this set since I first saw it. Very clean set. Engine needed some work to get running smoothly. Classic owner comment, "it ran fine when I ran it last." It couldn't have as there was a preformed piece of plastic, the piece of plastic some manufacturers place over the two prong electrical plug for safety, wedged in the engine internals. Runs and smokes great now.
Paul2,
Very nice rolling stock sir, just so you know the TOC, WAG Single Sheathed Box Car has a counter part, WAG 5240 BoxCar, Crown actually did a pair of these Box Cars for Weaver with Buffalo Creek Graphics, definitely some very nice work, all done here in the USA.
