WOW! what a day today. I was about an hour away from home and saw lots of trains. I've never seen a moving train since i've been MRRing[:O][*^_^*] i saw a stUPid coal train w/ a SD80MAC or SD90MAc (those things are huge!). in a small yard i saw 2 hoppers like this but they were IC not ICG. http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/85-45315 and i saw a stopped train which i think was CN (didn't see the engines) but in the tran was a hopper like this http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/112-2055 [8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D] and on display a little closer to home was and IC 0-8-0 and caboose. I WILL get pics of it someday.

That's not good. Did you get ripped off? i think you can report it to Ebay if you did. Here's a better link for that front runner http://www.firsthobby.com/store1/Product.asp?ProductID=WALF39811&SN=2006020118212946

Yeah that's going to be a lot of track. Maybe i can recycle some of my old brass stuff for the hidden staging yard. I want to get 2 6-packs of the RD-4 hoppers sometime. $39.99 is a good price for them. I found 3 more engines i'd like to get

Like the site. looks like the layout is coming along. The ICRy is doing good (not great) i need a few turnouts so i can straghten out part of the mainline. It's going to take so much track when i add on- double track mainline -siding for grain elevator- 3 tracks for coal mine- hiddden 4 track staging yard (tracks should be 15' long). I see trainworld has the Walthers 6 pk RD-4 open hoppers for $39.99- i hope they have them for a few months so i can get some. I'm sure you've seen it but this is an excellent IC site.
