Had a great time at the museum last friday til I ran out of gas and had to pack-up and head home.

The most fun for the kids of all ages was when I had the Missle Launch Vehicle out doing it's thing.

Even when they knew what was going to happen some of the kids and parents would jump.

I have not bought much Lionel lately but did pick-up this little guy at April York. A great runner with TMCC, zero switch stalls through my Gargraves & Ross switches.

They run good and mine has no problems crawling over my Fastrack O-36 switches (manual). It's a fun little car to run around the track.

I was at Holly Beach last September during the NJ Fireman's Convention. The owner is a retired firefighter, and has quite a nice selection. I'll be back to peruse and possibly purchase this time around.

Nice photos today, guys...especially love the the track car.

Restored prewar AF 3112 with a unit train of Lionel "Baby Ruth" boxcars.

Bust Saturday at the local IGA

Marx Lumar loader with a string of Marx NYC side dump cars pulled by Marx WP 44 tonner.The eventual plan is to run a secondary spur off the freight house lead track to the scoop and have the cars loads be dumped into it by the Marx sidedump unloader.
