Hello Everyone, <br /> <br />O took a few days and took off to go see some friends in family that live on the other side of the state. While I was there I got more Items from my friend Mike who unfortunatly has to tear down his model railroad because of a move. (From a 6 bedroom house with full basement to a one bedroom apartment) Because his new model railroad is about a hundred times smaller than the one he was building, he is going through his collection and deciding which items he wants to keep. He is then giving the rest to me. From this last visit I came back with the following. <br />Nearly 100 feet of Atlas Code 83 track <br />Several Atlas Layout wiring accessories. <br />Walthers Packing plant, and Stock yard. <br />Nearly 75 feet of road bed <br />Assorted scenery supplies <br />15 freight cars. Mostly Athearn. <br />Proto 2000 PA/PB set in D&RGW <br />Athearn ABA F7 in D&RGW <br />Spectrum Light 4-8-2 Undecorated. <br /> <br />While I was there, I made a trip to Rapid City SD and visited Who;s Hobby House. I made a perview of their clearance rack and let me tell you when I got done. They were really happy with me. Of their clearence rack I picked up: <br /> <br />2 Proto 2000 GP9s in Union Pacific <br />2 Proto 2000 GP18s in Burlington Northern <br />A Proto 2000 GP30 in Burlington Northern <br />A Proto 2000 SD60M in Burlington Northern Santa Fe <br />An Athearn SD9 in Union Pacific <br />An Athearn U30C in Southern Pacific <br />An Athearn FM Trainmaster in Southern Pacific <br />An Athearn SD45 in Southern Pacific <br />An Ateharn Dash 9-44CW in Southern Pacific <br />and an Athearn AC4400CW in Chicago and Northwestern. <br /> <br />Total Spent $710. and some change. <br /> <br />The UP stuff will be repainted GN most likely. the SP will probably be BN, BNSF, Frelanced name as appropriet. the CNW unit. Undecided, but if it gets the paint shop BNSF. <br /> <br />Mikes D&RGW stuff will probably stay that way unilt the paint falls off. Then I will consider what to repaint from there. <br /> <br />Well Just wanted to let you all know where I have been and what I have been doing. You all have a nice evening. <br /> <br />James
