    Reminds me of that 'I Pack a Punch' F59PHI Amtrak was running on the west coast a few years ago. Very cool loco!

    Yeah, and a day early. Guess who I got it all from? And you can't say the real name :) You have to say the code name :) The Welch's gives it away. My brother-in-law is happy, as he get's the candy :) Me no like it!

    I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it, I'm about to loose control... I don't buy locomotives and rolling stock hardly ever brand NEW! Alright Tech, clam down and take it slow with the decoder installation, and DON'T forget the Kapton tape. We don't want to see no stinking smoke :)

    I don't think anyone else has the WS Traffic Pedestal Light's, but could be wrong. I sure hope the Amfleet Viewliner car's will run on my layout. I'll test it before installing the light kits. And you thought I had a lot of light's before :) This is the most NEW stuff I have ever bought! Must calm down before installation of said products. Yes I am old, but still very happy. For now!

    I'm like a kid in a Candy store, get it, Welch's Fruit Snacks, candy, sweets, alright I'll stop now!

    Unfortunately it will be nothing for a while. Today I took my computer in for repair and just got the word. It's shot and need replacement. Right now I'm struggling with an old antique. And I was considering getting a notebook for fun, but that will come latter. :confused:(n):sick:
    I wanted some new tracks.

    Well George, as soon as you you get the PR4 up and running I can walk you through all the tricks I know about programming decoders.
    In fact, I will be doing the same thing myself at the same time!

    They are beautifully done. The duplex sleepers are prototypical cars. The baggage is going to have to 'stand-in' for the correct car which is much longer (probably never to be made).

    Well both my passenger car sets arrived late last night. They came with lighting installed from the factory. One less thing to deal with!

    been oogling this toolbox for a few months now, looked perfect for organizing all the modeling tools, paint brushes, wiring stuff, heat gun, etc. Lowes had them marked down about $30 less than the last time I almost brought one home so I couldn't really leave it there again.

    Might be my first contribution to this topic. I used to see Air Products rider cabooses accompanying special moves, usually oversized heat exchangers, for export on the Conrail and now NS Lehigh Line.
