Picked up a junker 6465 tanker for $5 at a show 2 week ago ... decided I wanted a black one w/ white lettering

Along side an earlier custom tanker in white

It must be that time of year to search for bargains at the train shows!  I couldn't resist buying this American Flyer passenger car at our local train meet show last week:

The new "Steam Park" on the SD3Railers Club layout. A UP FEF and PRR K-4 on roller bases.

It will really fill the area with smoke., thanks goodness they are on a timer so the smoke can clear before they are started again.

Try this website .... lots of parts but much easier to view at shows. They carry just about every decal for Lionel trains. Good luck! http://www.eastcoasttrainparts.com/

Hi

Stopped by your website and really enjoyed the visit and much to my surprise found some Marx variations I was unaware of...it's a great site and I can see you have a wide range of interests. I have the other cars to the one you picked up, and the Flyer tinplate is addictive from my own experience.

Thanks Bruce, glad you enjoyed the site!  I like anything in O gauge powered by springs... what can I say?  Big Smile  When I saw that forlorn AF 1306 on a table for 15 bucks, I knew it had to come home with me.  It is a nice complement to a Flyer 1120 that I recently acquired; the litho and colors are similar, and I enjoy the contrast between the 8 wheel 1306 and the 4 wheel 1120.  I do like having a variety of cars for the windups to pull around the layout...
