Buy anything cool lately?

Mill City

Is GREEN SPOT something that's currently available

I like Irish Whiskey too!!

I just recently saw someone who had bought the real thing:

Yes, Joe. Though, not easily found, and no wonder with production limited to 500 case per annum. Green Spot is a 9 year old double wood. Famed Yellow Spot, a 12 year triple wood, last bottled in the 50's, should hit the shores soon. There was once a Red Spot to round out the range.

These brands are of the Midleton Distillery family of Cork, Ireland. I can strongly recommend any of these to those that enjoy triple distilled whisky. My go-to is the Jameson 12 year. Expect to drop 60 to 80 green spots for the Green Spot.

Received a hot wire foam cutter from the hot wire foam factory. Will come in handy when sculpting the landscape.

Just picked up the Lionel BN scale auto rack. Absolutely awesome that the doors open on each end and you can load it with cars. I think I'll be grabbing a few more of these soon seeing as though I just financed a few of the real ones.

just received a custom built by jerry white PRR shark in 2 rail. fantastic locomotive even has cab detail. also got my PRR and B&O 3rd rail sets in this week. both had some quality issues but Scott replaced several of the cars. so this was a great week for me.

Just acquired new Lionel Legacy PRR J1A from LHS.

Thanks Mill City

I have had Middleton(excellent) and Red Breast.

Never knew about the "Spot" ones will look for them.

If you have a COSTCO near you they have a 18 year old under the Kirkland label that is crazy affordable and really good.

To keep this Train related

On Friday and/or Saturday nights when my son and I run the trains I like to sip a Bourbon, Scotch, or Whiskey while Joey runs the trains  Lately it has been more fun since we picked up those LionChief Locomotives!!!!

Thanks for the info!!!

And who said trains and adult beverages don't mix. Since my layout is all boxed up now, I can only enjoy the sipping aspect.

Thanks for the Kirkland tip. Unfortunately, the local Costco does not have an adult beverage department, but I'll check other locations. Two Gingers was developed by an entrepreneur here in Minneapolis and is serviceable considering the price-point.

Finally pulled the Big Boys caboose out. This is the last piece of rolling stock I bought, I love this caboose and it will look amazing behind my vision line big boy 

Bought this MTH GE AC6000 last week. I like it a lot more than I thought

just the beat up 2026 project I've been looking for.

guess it all depends on what is "cool."

It's not train-related, except to drive it to shows.

.

I picked up a boxed Chicago Rivet 911-3 press outfit. This outfit is the functional equivalent of Lionel's ST-350 rivet press outfit.

I don't think it was ever used. Each of the fifteen tools came in it's own little cloth bag, gathered together into a larger one.

Just found on EBAY. MTH Pennsylvania N6-B caboose #20-91222 in yellow paint scheme. Road number 492401.  Also have other road number 492409. 

I really like my new Epiphone Dot!   

I have way too many trains for the size of my layout, so I procrastinate a lot about what I buy. Nothing of late has caught my fancy, so I am holding out for my wish list items:

• Rail King open 12 or 14 bench trolley with PS3 in Connecticut and in Brooklyn (Red & Cream) livery;
• Rail King wood sided interurban car with PS3 that I can repaint to mimic the New York & North Shore Traction Company's cars;
• Rail King BRT open platform subway cars;
• Rail King articulated locomotives.

I just bought a Lionel Reading T-1.  I'd post a photo, but it hasn't arrived yet.
