…and these were worth the price of early admission:
They might well have been gone if I’d waited.

These are AHM and I already have examples of both but I thought I needed more:

My wife found a cache of trains hiding in the closet! I don’t remember buying any of this stuff!
First up — a Bachmann quad hopper lettered for the C&O:
…first C&O quad I’ve found.

Next up…
Not one - but two - Monon operating hoppers:
They both have their roofs. I think all my Monon examples have roofs. I wish I could say the same for my Holly Sugar cars!
I am really addicted to these things!

Two more AHM Flexi-Flow hoppers:
Their piping is intact, and they both have their end ladders and brake wheels!
I believe I already have at least one example of every livery, but one always needs more!

A twofer of sorts:
Two HiCubes, a 40ft Lionel Burlington Northern and a 62ft Tyco Soo Line. I probably already have both, but whatever…

I attended a train show several weeks ago outside of Pittsburgh, and just now am getting around to posting some stuff.
I picked up what turned out to be another Mantua/Tyco trolley lettered “Broadway”:
I forgot that I just recently got the “Broadway” trolley! They both have their trolley poles though, so if necessary, I can swap one onto another trolley that needs one.

kool
had this custom made from that tyco Soo Line boxcar
Also this one I KNEW I wasn't crazy when I seen this BAR boxcar that usually has Products on it with POTATOES on it! 
think I read why it was changed to Products was there was a potato blight, crop failure or something like that to change it
Also Why do I have 2 Tyco Purina Chugg-Chugg Hi-Cube bopxcars?

Three more Roco quad hoppers:
I already have a Roco B&M, so naturally I needed a second one!
The Norfolk and Western is a new one for me. I do have a Bachmann lettered N&W though.
The Great Northern is also a new one for me . . . I think . . . I’m not sure . . .

Virginian error quad hopper #3:
This one is rough, and it’s missing both corner steps on the other side, but it was 3 bucks.

My 4th Armour/Kahn’s error car:
This one is missing stirrups, as you can see, the roof walk is damaged on one end, and the graphics are scratched up, but only $3.

Somebody “improved” it with weathering and hand painted graffiti. Any suggestions for removing it?

. . . and . . . since now I’m collecting the Tyco piggyback trailers and containers, I picked up the silver and white Santa Fe’s, along with another, nicer example of the SeaLand trailers:
I believe I have all the easy-to-find ones now!
