my sister found a Portland Rose menu.  have several menus.  the smallest i was able to find a free standing double sided lucite from so both sides of the menu could be viewed. these others i have are larger (the largest being about 12x17).  have never been able to find the same kind of frame for them.  would certainly appreciate ideas that would permit viewed of both sides.  custom built would be costly.

Boy, compared to some of the stuff listed, mine is a minor purchase but it will look great on the layout. I ordered them from Die-Cast Direct so I don't have them yet.

A 1937 Ford Tractor Trailer with Roadway markings and a 1947 International KB-12 Tractor with Crouse Cartage Co. painted on the doors of this yellow tractor. They both are 1/43.

"Cool" to me, that is:

 

1) I acquired 2 pair of MINT in the box Super O 112 automatic switches plus 3 MINT in the box Super O 145 manual switches for $42.00 total.

 

2) I acquired a MINT MTH scale Dreyfuss for $305.00. I have custom Super O curves up to O-63 so this beauty will have no problem

I got the same Dreyfuss. Where did you get yours?

When I picked up my Natty Boh reefer from Paul Strickland, the budget would handle "one". By random selection, I got road number 12009. I have regretted for years not getting 12008 too. Recently, an OGR member afforded me the opportunity to complete the set (thank you Gene).

BTW, I'm on my last of 7 cases of Natty Boh I bought on my last trip to York. A can went into tonight's Chili pot. Before Paul's project, I had never even heard of Natty Boh. It is now one of my favorites!

As reported in an earlier post, I just picked up my set of C&NW F-7 AAs from Lionel. Putting them on the track, they stuttered along a few inches and then derailed. Repeatedly.

 

Usually, Lionel diesels run fine right out-of-the-box but not this set. Looking at the underside, I noted that the gears were bone dry -- not a bit of grease. Also, one of the powered trucks would not turn at all when manually spun.

 

I greased  all the gears and oiled the wheels as indicated in the owner's manual and tried again. Some progress. The engine ran very slowly and hesitantly but stayed on the track. I applied more grease to the gears and worked the power trucks manually and finally got them turning a bit.

 

Tried running again and they finally started running smoother. After a couple of times around the layout, they got their legs and picked up speed, etc.

 

I am not used to engines coming in that stiff and with no grease on them at all. Is this the new standard from Lionel's factory?
