Hey Guys, Went to the Timonium MD show today and picked up a few things. First find is a Tyco 0-4-0 Pony steam loco,odd thing is this one is painted blue,and silver,lettered Norfolk & Western. I thought this was a repaint but on the box end was...
Pony "Lighted" Norfolk & Western 206-09
with Collector Series Limited Edition on the box top. For 28.00 brand new,I couldn't pass this one up.
Next find is something I've wanted for a few years. I finally found a British steam loco for my UK freight wagons. It's made by Wrenn,it's a 0-6-2t LMS tank loco,black with mustard yellow lettering. The seller wanted 85.00 for it,but I paid 65.00,and it is in awesome condition. The seller said he bought it in England when he was in the Army,along with some other trains. I can't wait to get these trains downstairs to run 'em.

I was at the PWMRC modular layout by itself in the end of Timonium opposite the other layouts. I found a number of good buys there myself, from steam to diesel to freight cars, and some Kadee 508's I needed for AHM passenger conversions. Crowd was light due to impending storm, very low attendance on Sunday. I spent my budget there buying stuff I both wanted and needed. I had to make two trips back to my new Chevy HHR with all the bags of stuff I got.
