Jon,I'd go for the 18 year
It's what was left locally other than their rail pour. This was my go-to, but it's no longer available in the USA...

Nice choice, Jon. Sláinte mhaith!!!
Will be sippin' some Midleton a bit later.
Remember, the prohibition against draining and driving applies to O-Gauge trains too!!!
As a fan of golf in N. Ireland (e.g. Royal County Down, Royal Portrush, et al.) and Irish whiskey, fairness compels me to mention Bushmills, home of the oldest distillery on the isle. Served "neat," it's terrific.
By far the smoothest I've enjoyed. Goes down easy, even at bill per...
I have been a member of the forum for approx. one year, and I will admit that I am "a little slow on the uptake". But I have just figured out that Mill City is brilliant...your last two posts have impressed me for the rest of 2016.

Ok that's cool.
May the wind be always at your back

Cheers back. And not to fear, no hand on the throttle tonight. Remember, please be responsible and enjoy fine whiskies "neat."

Paul,
Could you you tell me the lengthy and height of the two smaller auto racks? Could you send me some pics of them out of the box? My layout is only O42, and I've really wanted some of those and was wondering if they'd work for me.
thanks,
Chris
The auto racks in the top picture are the same size as the 3 in the bottom picture. He just had to zoom out on the top picture to show his wood chip hopper and ramps.
The auto racks measure out to 2' over the coupler faces and can be run on a curve as tight as 54" diameter. I run the Chessie auto rack and Atlas 89' flat cars on mostly 81" diameter curves and a couple 72" diameter curves. They look OK on the wider curve but not so much on the smaller.
I think 42" diameter curves are too small for the Lionel 89' cars.
Chris, Catnip is right. When you get into scale cars the wider the radius the better. I don't have any small curves. Mine are 0-89 and 0-96 and there is still a bit of overhang on those. When they say the smallest curve they can run on that is, in my opinion too tight of a curve. If you want car carriers I would suggest either the Lionel ones that are not scale or MTH car carriers which are shorter then Lionel's' but should be okay on 0-42 curves. There was a topic on here that showed the scale Lionel auto rack on different curves..............Paul
Went to the Dalton Ohio show today. I found another Marx light tower and another Weaver wood chip hopper. I already had the brown Pennsy wood chip hopper. Pics of the buys...........Paul

No pictures but I went back in time today and purchased a gondola,tank car,box car and caboose to go with my 2037 to complete the set. Lately I got the old boy out and ran conventional but it looked too lonely all by itself so I went out and bought some company for her.
Got these today in the mail.
Gonna paint and partially assemble the yellow Piper J-3 Cub, and put it in the junkyard. The white Piper Super Cub PA18, after painting and assembly, I'll suspend it from ceiling over the layout to give it the appearance that it's flying over the town.
