Since dstarr forgot to put a "show me", I'll continue this by showing off my 2 SD38-2's in EJ&E orange. :)

Show me something you want more of for Christmas. :)

Long live the J!

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.

Remember its your railroad

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.

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

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.
