Holy Moly! Page two. I guess I'll give it a bump.

Grain Elevator complex and three CP Grain cars that I found under the tree because the Grinch accidently missed them on his rounds.

Show me a Christmas Present from years gone by.

Well just to keep it on page one, I'll post a Christmas Train. I got it for $20.00 at a flea market. A steal of a deal!

Sniped this one of eBay for $45. It's an N Scale Atlas model. The going rate seems to be about $70.

Show me something you got a good deal on after haggling.

Where are those mid 1800s cars?

I was hoping someone had some old style passenger cars. I'll just have to double down.

Here's mine.   Laugh

An IHC mogul and a couple of 48 footer wood open platform cars.  My father used to commute out of Boston on a very simular train in the late 1940's.

This little UP gondola #2923, was part of a Tyco train set I bought for my son in 1976 I think. It is still used occasionally on the BRVRR.

Show me another old car in use for more than 20 years.

Wifey got this Kato WC last year for Christmas.  I could always use more Kato's!

 

I think we should continue with the Christmas gift theme.
