Some New Purchases

[wombat457]

Yesterday, I met Brad from Promotionaltrucks and had the chance to buy some things from him, more than I had intended actually

I also had the opportunity to buy some things from him:

Herpa Reefer Fridge Unit:

Herpa Volvo Cab Over Kit:

Herpa Volvo Chassis Kit:

A selection of Varney Rolling Stock:

Accurail Rolling Stock:

Athearn Hopper Car Kit:

Various Vehicles:

\
I also bought a metal Motor Bike with Side Car and another small kit that I forgot to photograph.


To be honest, all I (initially) intended to buy was the Volvo Kit and the Coach - everything else just, well - were things I had to have

Have to say that is a pretty odd mix of items. 1930-1950 era freight cars and modern day vehicles and details. Are some of these for the n-scale layout?

Horseman,

As you know, my layout is not era specific or prototypical of any particular place or railroad. All of the above are HO and for the layout. Call it a "step back in time layout". Consider it something akin to Mackinaw Island ... cars are banned from it; however, emergency service vehicles are there - a mix of a time before the car and modern necessities.

Nice haul Tony, same stuff I watch for!

Rico,

Keep an eye out in the Wanted/for sale thread, as I understand it, Brad has a heap of HO stuff coming up for sale.

I can send you a set of custom decals for that undecorated box car for the Gallatin Canyon & Western if you want them.

Chet,

Thanks mate but am going to wait and see what I am going to do with them. Right now, I 'm not sure but will let you know.
