Looks massive Bob, nice line-up!

Here are 4 K-Line club engines. Three of the four were defective. Mine was the only one that ran out of the box. Now after two EOB drop in boards and an adjustment on a sound board they all run good.

[highrailjon]

 Ray, They pop up on Ebay from time to time.

[raymans]

wow! Jon that is one really nice looking truck

probably can't get them anymore?

[highrailjon]

 Raymans, Thanks for the heads-up! I found the model A for sale through diecastdirect.com for $34.95. But it is temporarily out of stock. Ya still did good for 50.00. Some of the Matchbox Harley trucks I missed out on ran that much. Thanks to Spankybird for helping me locate them as well!!!

I grew up in Athens Ohio, but would always go over to Marietta to the Sternwheeler festival with my family.  There was a kid there for a couple of years that always had this little paddleboat made out of popcicle sticks.  The paddlewheel was powerered with a little battery powered motor, and it would paddle out from shore for a while, then he would pull it back in with a string tied to it.  I thought that was the coolest thing.  That was a long time ago...

very sweet

[Frank53]

It is a very nice well detailed model I think was around $50

Better to beg forgiveness after the fact as I pirate this photo of ray's with those great Lehigh Valley Hoppers in the background:

That car was worth every nickel.

great photos everyone.

[raymans]

Jon it is Minichamps that I found on Amazon.com but they show none left at this time.

 I hope this is a sign of what we may expect in the future.

and by the way your stockcar weathering looks great.

I have an Aztec airbrush and Badger compressor, but have not had the courage to try weathering as yet. The more I see here the more I want to try it.

Frank,

I recently started focusing my postwar attention to later 50's early 60's. Lots of fun stuff - love the submarine car - I'm really starting to appriciate the AAR trucks as well(quiet and smooth). Look forward to some future posts!

A few new additions arrived this week. A couple of really nice and unusual flat cars have made their way to me in the last couple of months. They're interesting and funky and have spurred my interest in this post war line that I previously had not paid much attention to:

The Helium Transport

The submarine car:

and the railway truck transport car:

 

  Wow, never took you for the postwar sort.lol. Now you got to get an aquarium for your submarine.

Well, I'm thinking BATHTUB !! 

Thanks, John

  Frank-  The Hobo in your photo must be the Bionic Man to have run so far & fast.  Dave- I hope you're careful with the Lead Castings so you do not get any Lead Poisoning from them. Take Care.

[Dave Connolly]

 Frank, the hobo must have had a good lead at one time. He had time to put a fresh set of clothes on.

 hirailjon, the weathered stock car looks great. As does everything else in the pic.

[Anonymous]

[highrailjon]

Here's my attempt at weathering a stockcar.
