That’s awesome!! Heard and seen a lot of good things about the LionChief Big Boy. She looks great! I was referring to the reefer cars behind the big boy in the picture. Thought they were the vision cars- Pacific Fruit Express VISION Line Steel-Sided Reefer 3-Pack I just ordered a set of...

Thank you sir!!

That is awesome! I wouldn’t get any work done there either! LOL Is that the new LionChief Big Boy? Looks like a line of Vision line cars too!?!?

Thank you!! When I started out I really wasn’t looking to make money, and still am not. However I won’t turn it down if I can..... LOL This has turned into another side hobby of “the hobby” if that makes sense. There are a couple stipulations you have to meet in order to start making $$ on...

Thanks!! Haven’t been on here much lately. Trains have kept me occupied lol. Been busy building the YouTube channel up. I’m pretty surprised and happy with it! Been going on 6 months now, and knocking on the door of 2k subscribers. I just went through the YouTube review/approval process and...

The American way! Love em of hate em, it’s gonna suck if nobody picks up the torch. This pretty much leaves Lionel the only game in town in the “mainstream”. I love Lionel, but I can’t swing $1600 engines that need repairs every other month. I adore my Postwar stuff, but also like playing...

Sucks we couldn’t make it this year. Sabrina was a bit upset as well. Maybe next year..... I need a car to take though. We did it the other year without a car, and wasn’t as much fun. I love the new truck, but it don’t count lol. Newport needs a ton of work as well. And the dually ain’t making...

Absolutely! Like everyone else, I was quite shocked at the announcement. Same here for me, their stuff is the best currently. I do wish the sounds could get on the same level as modern Lionels, but I’ll take a little hit in the sound department for the bulletproof dependability they offer...

Been a busy train month! My wallet has not been to happy with me..... Some of you may have heard, MTH announced they are shutting down the business next year. Pretty sad news. They did have a good run! 40 years in the business. Hopefully somebody picks them up. Hearing the news, I decided I...

We went for a little get away this weekend to Daytona. Took the new truck out for its first trip away. Nice and comfy! Weekend was pretty S#itty due to the weather, but still had a decent time. Of coarse we had to hit the train shop! I did some horse trading with a few items. My New Haven...

Been a good weekend of train fun! Back to normal tomorrow... Boo! LOL Got some of the accessories serviced, working, and installed. The plasticville buildings won’t be staying, or the little round track at the end, but for now WTH. Got the gateman working, but his damn arms keep flying off...

It’s possible. I thought a couple of the cars looked more pre war to me, but haven’t looked into em yet. Still haven’t tried the KW yet. I may try and sell it seeing as I already have one currently in operation. The type V I don’t have, and would be a keeper for the collection. I like the...

Some track and switches to go through in box 3 and 4. Not a bad little haul for the price though!

Box #4 Engines. A 2020 and 671 turbine. I’m only missing one turbine from my collection now lol. The EP5 is pretty rough unfortunately. The plastic body did not fair well. Also a lot of Jerry rigged repairs. I’ll try and get her running. May have to get a replacement shell for it.

Box #3 Transformers, operating track, and switches

Box #2 Rolling stock

A little digging. Box #1 Some plasticville and accessories. Lots of old landscaping material as well (gravel, grass, animals, etc....)

HOLY S#IT!! Think I just scored the deal of the year! Marketplace pays off again!! A little teaser pic. Everything is almost new with original boxes and paperwork! It’s Xmas!! LOL Newport work will be put off for a couple days lol

The one I’ve been itching for lately but keeps eluding me is a 2242 New Haven. I’ve come across a couple, but haven’t had the right circumstances to get one yet. There’s currently one on eBay, but the price is too high.... made an offer, but the seller didn’t want to budge. Wait for another to...

A 2373 Canadian pacific would be great to have as well, but I kinda gave up hope on that one. That may require a second mortgage lol. Might settle for a PWC series one of those. The 773’s command some money, but atleast they are almost do able when compared to New engine pricing these days.
