Sounds good Matt. If you make it before 6 you could meet Patrick.

By the way, what number is the print? Mine is 326.

Mine is 203

I recently bought what must be the absolutely coolest train ever. A pair of Lionel Legacy SP Daylight RF-16s and a rake of Lionel 18" Daylight coaches to go with them. 

Recently I made a couple of acquisitions at incredible prices.  The first was a Lionel legacy SD 70ACE in the fantasy Virginian livery for only $320.00 from Sidetrack Hobbies.  The other was a set of MTH 418 Standard Gauge orange Passenger cars I won on E-Bay for the incredible price of $230.00.  This set is in virtually like new condition.  I don't get lucky very often so this was quite unusual for me. 

just purchased two Kline Reading ore cars

and a Lionel CP GP-9 powered unit off the For Sale

forum.

Is this a great place to shop or what.

I could get fat and happy using this computer thing,

(although Im not particular about computers)!!!

Lionel's Milwaukee E9 set, and a bottle of this equally rare stuff...

Hey Jon, Ill be at the hobby store at 7

10-4, see ya then. However, don't expect any Green Spot, it's a distant memory.

Great find Elliott. One of the nicest style observation cars ever made.

Thanks Brian, and I agree.

I should have thought to ask you this a long time ago. Did K-line ever release the six car Milwaukee Road set that included the Cedar Rapids? The one I found was the Dell Rapids. At this point, I'm just happy to have one, but if I was going to get picky about it, the Cedar Rapids would be the bomb.

Oh my, May train budget took a big time plunge in the red and  June isn't doing very well in the first week either. But, ya just can't take it with ya.

Still having fun.

Absolutely! Got the 3rd Rail/GGD B&O Columbian Passenger cars!

Now I gotta get the layout expansion done so that I can run them!

Almost another birthday and I have NOT bought the farm. 

Have been purchasing lots of "cool" stuff for my layout project: Engines, some rolling stock, and just purchased about 30 switches/turnouts. (Enough to do "Phase One" when I am ready to start that.)  Acquiring is fun... it's the work that follows that I sometimes bog down in!

Nothing since YORK.  Probably nothing til YORK either?

Don't ask my wife she might say I have an Issue. but the way she is looking at it it's cheaper than my hotrod. last summer it got new paint new suspension new trans new motor  new radiator new drive shaft, new exhaust. new sound system, so trains are cheaper

Just received the MTH tinplate Armor set. The cannon unit will be protecting the nuclear reactor.
