American Flyer's Famous(?) Footnote Train - Set #15
Talk about feeling neglected. Year after year AF Set #16 got all the press - lots of verbiage, a great picture...and what of set #15 - just a lonely footnote off to one side of the star attraction
Well, I say enough of this! Here's Set #15 in all of its former glory!
Oh, and by the way Set #15 had a car Set 16 never touched - #1306.

BING crossing level for the British market. Dates from around 1910 and needs some work but will be a nice model. At this time the trains had to allow priority to cars....
Have a nice weekend, Daniel

Very fitting to follow @FRENCHTRAINS with my latest additions to the collection, again apologies for sellers crappy photos ( lol ) , I really should wait til they get here and take decent photos for you guys, but the excitement of the purchase takes over 
So last night after a while looking for one ( I am a cheap bastidge and look for bargains) A French Hornby SNCF BB-8051 fell into my fat fingers ... added bonus it came with 2 open wagons ... Now I can replace the Hachette version I have had for a few years ..
Nice little Hornby. You will see a great difference between the original model which runs well and the Hachette one.

Thanks Daniel, for sure the Hachettes are all "Flash over substance" They look nice , but just dont perform and are so obviously built to a price point .
I am looking forward to the Hornby's arrival for sure 
Here is a video from Tuesday night,

RSB: NICE Flyer set! Also, FATMAN'S little Hornby BB electric loco and cars is a worthy acquisition!

Hello Arne,
I remember seeing your post, you have done a very good restoration on your level crossing, I will try to be as good as you doing mine.
Very best, Daniel

AWESOME Bing early coaches!
c. 1921 American Flyer set 1201 with brown cars.

Greetings Kibri fans
Here's my latest acquisition--a Kibri engine shed that seems to be uncatalogued. Maybe it's because of its strange size --too large for HO/00 yet too small for O gauge locomotives.
It fits Biller perfectly!!

if you have never looked closely at your Marx 3/16" scale flat cars, you should at least make sure both sides show the same roadname.... or not..!
when i saw this B&M flat car without stakes, i thought i found a pretty rare car...
turns out i was only half right...
cheers...gary
