I love when people not in the hobby sell stuff. This guy at a swap meet was selling off his grandfathers trains last weekend. He inherited the stuff but wasn't interested in the hobby.
6 Walthers autoracks- $5 each.
2 Athearn 5-unit Maxi III- $10 for both.
16 Athearn and Walthers shipping containers -$8 for all.
Everything was in almost new condition. The autoracks were missing couplers though.

I always hope to find deals like that ^^^, maybe Sunday...

Nice find Lifted, got a heck of a deal.

I've been working on some Wind Turbine base loads for 4 of the 89' flat cars. This is my progress so far.

What's the story with CO OP #69 Karl? Did you add alot of details or is she right out of the box? I really like it alot.

Lots of great work by everyone who posted.

Thanks!

It started life as an Athearn Hustler, but the driveline instead of being rubber band powered is quite different. Try an Athearn SD40 truck, with the center axle removed, and a mini can motor out of a CD ROM powering it, controlled by a NCE decoder!! Add a liberal amount of detail stuff and there you have it!

There is also a CO OP #70, thats a cabless "b" unit for this one!

Yessir I'll be at the show tomorrow, spending more than what I should probably. It's at the Buckeye event center in Dalton, OH just off of US 30. $5 to get in the door, starts at 10 a.m.

Incredible! If it's not too much trouble, could you post a pic of those two units together? That's why I love this forum! A never ending supply of knowledge and talent.

Looks good Jeffrey! What is the "next assignment" ?

Whatever I want it to do. It's there to pull the tourist train but can be used to pull freight to pay it's way. It's the only Fairbanks Morse loco on my roster.
