Mail Call! Railway Post Office, commonly abbreviated as RPO has rolled in!

[TLOC]

This arrived in the mail today. A FaceBook sale and it was a good deal. Needs some medium weathering and it will join the fleet.

Well I was bidding on a set of woodchip hoppers and went as high 125 bucks.... this set included (2) 61 foot hoppers in the Bay Line scheme. I lost bummer. Next time I guess I should of went for broke as these are extremely hard to find. I have one hopper but wanted to get this set. Better luck next time.

James, I have not been purchasing any rolling stock since the Fall of 2019, until last week. I am shocked by the cost of the wood chip cars. $40 buy now plus $15 for shipping for E&C cars. I have been thinking of selling my wood chip cars, maybe I should.

Tom,
For whatever reason the Greenville style hoppers are the most expensive and hard to get....

like this one ..

I however I do have several of these that I purchased back in the late 80's early 90's but they are UP, SP and MOPAC. I just need or rather want the last 2 set issue from Walthers in the Bay Line ASAB.

Got a couple of Seaboard cars today in the mail.


The top one is an Accurail and the bottom one is an Athearn.

Won an auction on eBay for this SW1200. First Precision Scale Model I've owned and I'm impressed.

Here is the set of Canton Hoppers from Accurail, offered by the GN Historical Society.
These are the " See America First - Glacier National park" (1943) scheme.

STAY SAFE OUT THERE!

Finally ordered some brake details for these Athearn GP60's I got almost 2 years ago. The detail parts came yesterday, maybe I'll add them this weekend...

I found one at Hiawatha Hobby and placed an order. Neat looking rolling stock.

Postman just delivered a pair of Proto 2000 Erie Drop End Gondolas.

 

[WigWag Workshop]

I received a new toy for the workshop, a Cameo 4. My SweetieBear has been wanting one of these for a long time. Looking forward to seeing what she can do with it, not sure how useful it will be for HO Scale stuff, but will be handy for a lot of my other hobbies.

Got a couple of shipments today. Including this heavy equipment from outlandmodels.com - 3d printed in N scale

Since my Father-in-law and his two brothers were road construction, I imagine they'll show up in proxy on the layout near this equipment.

I just can't stop! RPO delivered another box today.


One box car, and one reefer (both Accurail), another 100 Intermountain metal wheelsets and a bulk pack of couplers.

Good thing it came, I was out of wheels and couplers.

If you don't make it over to the coffee shop, I'll show ya this car, I think came in on the next RPO after twforemans', my first piece of Tangent rolling stock. I really like the detail on the car, except the trip pin levers. They're going by by....

 

[2Tracks]

What? You want pictures? Ha Ha...I saw something shiny, didn't get the pics posted! Here we go....

STAY SAFE!

The Railway Express truck (UPS) came yesterday and dropped off my Right on Track Models Boxwell Casket Company kit.

Looks like a fun build.

I just discovered this thread and really enjoyed seeing what everyone's interests are.

These treasures just showed up yesterday. The Locomotive Co was based out of Manhatten Beach CA. back in the late 70s.
Back then this was one of the few options for Colorado Midland Locomotives other than the two brass imports years before.
These kits were a three piece ordeal - Chassis, Superstructure, and Tender kits.
I picked up the 4-6-0, 2-8-0 chassis and two superstrucure kits. I will have to kit bash a couple of the old MDC/ Roundhouse tenders for them.
