    Went to the Great Train Expo in council Bluffs, Iowa and purchased some scenery items and 5 train cars today.
    There was a fair amount of commercial retail vendors but not many hobbyist selling things and the prices were quite steep.
    Last years show seemed better?

    I went to a train show in Wheaton IL today. I pick up and A and B E6 units from Broadway Limited. My first locos with sound. I've run them for a few today, very impressive.

    A Straight Jacket was purchased for me by my wife when she saw the insurance paperwork covering my collection.

    Probably a lot better than had she bought divorce paperwork!

    I'm transitioning from HO into N. Don't have any track yet, but I do have the Kato P42 in phase III livery, and I ordered up a pair of passenger coaches, a baggage car and a cafe car last night.

    Just received 4th,5th, and 6th release of Lowell Smith's American Freedom Train. These things are NICE !!! A certain manufacturer should have "coupled" with him a few years back when they did a pair of circus trains. Results would have been SO much better !!!

    Managed to score some Atlas code 55 turnouts (3-#10 LH and 3-#7 RH) at the LHS while visiting my son and his family in LA.

    I went to a local train show today and was hoping to pick up some things I've been looking for. Mostly it was a bust, but I did find one thing, an old Atlas heavyweight combine for a future WP project.

    I found some Exactrail FBOX cars in quite a few numbers. There is very little comparison to the LBF ones! Exactrail cars are tremendous. Can one have too many FBOX's?

    , I bought a “new” N railcar, one I have never seen “in the flesh” (or in the plastic). An Arnold Rapido catalog #0482 stock car painted and lettered for UP #4082. I have only seen this car in the 1971 Arnold catalog and never expected to find one in a shop. Sold for $2 new in 1971 and I got it for $4.99 used. The roofwalk is loose, it is missing stirrups (the catalog shows small molded-on stirrups). As for the original car, it has huge gaping holes in the end for the huge gaping couplers, and it is almost impossible to replaces the trucks with MTL trucks and couplers on the original underbody. I may replace the underbody so I can replaced the trucks and couplers.
    But the car has some interesting features. Simulated wood ends, drover’s access door high on one end, upper level sliding doors halfway down the length of the sides. An interesting car which will require a fair amount of work. I wonder what the prototype was- probably a 1900 to 1920 car. Anybody know?

    Fight'n the tempation....

    Darn it man!!! Why would you show us such a great shot of those locomotives!!!
    Now I'm wondering at why I didn't just get those Santa Fe units too!

    That is a great looking picture you took... and those PCM E6's are very nice.
    I've got the LifeLike units from 8 yrs. ago that would look like chicken scratch next to the PCM ones.

    I think I have purchased two of the BLI IC E6A units. I got a notice that they would arrive on 15 February 2014.
    So far no locomotives; even the tracking system does not know where they are.

    Nothing fancy just a couple jars of matte finish and the fan handrail for the rear hood on my SD45's. I had two and both disappeared while attempting to install. Funny thing when I went to install one from the replacement pack the same thing happened. I decided to be extra careful and when I put the bugger down to put the bag away as I went back to pick it up there was the other one.

    No wonder so many like ready to run in N scale.
