I've decided not to use my scratch-built grain elevator and get the Walthers ADM elevator. But I can't get that until i add on. i'd also like to get this when i add on http://www.discounttrainsonline.com/Walthers-Building-New-River-Mining-Company/item933-3017.html and / or this http://www.discounttrainsonline.com/Walthers-Building-Western-Flood-Loader/item933-3089.html

I really like the IC in the days of the orange/white locos and the brown/orange passenger trains. I model NYC but I really thought about the IC when I was picking a road. I have a Green Frog two volume disc set on the IC, very good.

All Lionel all the time.

Thanks for dropping in okiechoochoo. The orange and white engines were nice. Dingoix I have that coal mine. I havent been able to use it yet but I am trying to use it on the new layout. The flood loader looks good. Waltersrails the local numbers are NS 6180 and NS 6126.

Worked on my layout today. While working on my layout my jig saw died. So right now I am at a dead stand still.
