My railroad ties came in today.
Alcomotive, am I correct in assuming that you are getting to lay some hand laid track ?

Well to my surprise I had (2) packages waiting for me when I got home....I was expecting them early next week but hey I am glad they came today!
I got the 3rd order of the Bluford Shops HO Scale Transfer Caboose MP-UP MOW GREEN Model#31071 road number MP #7502

I also got today a custom Athearn 40' Single door box car. Custom painted/weathered/detailed and decaled with the The Bay Line scheme for the Atlanta & St. Andrews Bay (A&SAB) aka The Bay Line. Typically their cars are Green with Yellow lettering & yellow lines etc. Sometimes Orange with black lettering and sometimes yellow with black lettering. The A&SAB through time bought a large amount of used cars that were simply repaired & patched. Anyways I got this one for 8 bucks and couldn't resist it. I need to change out the wheels to metal and that's about it. It is a pretty good looking car.

So as usual I will post some more pics on JR's UPRR thread for the "official" announcement
In the mean time I am on the quest to find the 4th and final transfer caboose by Bluford shops. As to which one I am seeking that will remain under wraps as I do not need any competition. This particular one is extremely hard to get your hands on.....
Well off I go for now!

Tom,
I will take a look....thanks for the heads up!
EDIT: I just took a look see.....nope they do not have it.....it is a tough one to find. thanks for the link though!
James, I am heading to the LHS 5 miles away after 12 tomorrow. I know he had a bunch of different HO Bluford Shops, I will take some pictures to show u what he has if you would like?

Did you get one of the dual throttles or a single? I love running manned helpers and multiple locos so I may need to get one of the dual ones.Just received my new Digitrax UT-6 throttle the other day. My first impressions are....meh. Probably not going to get anymore. One reason is that they don’t fit into all my throttle pockets and another is that it will need updated via computer every now and then. Not interested it that.
