Very nice! I love the billboard cars ever so much! Two that I don't have but I'm adding to my wantlist.

* At the Greenberg train show in Somerset NJ this weekend. I had a good time. AFKID showed up both days and taycotrains was there also. First time I seen him without his boy. Bob told me how big he has gotten. God bless him, Bobs a happy guy.
* Not a whole lot of new stuff. I got a second Gilbert Monon covered hopper. This one is like new. also a Lionel 2-4-2, again without a tender. Now I got two engines and no tenders. I got a GEM L&N 2-8-4. Reminds me of a shrunken PRR J1. Then a Marx train set boxed. It has a NH F3 with the caboose with the antaean. It has only 2 cars. The NH box car, black and white, the caboose matches it. And the Erie 2 level car carrier with 4 cars. A small set. I got a Ambroid NYC container car. it is unbuilt. A Varney tank car boxed and a Ulrich 40 foot 3 bay open drop bottom hopper. it didn't have any trucks.
* I just took a photo of the 2-8-2 while sitting here at the computer. I succeeded in taking another bad photo again.

Hi Nelson , It was a very crowed at times train show. Many people there. I couldn't see them all. I was moving around alot also. So many families with their kids walking around both days. There were no fresh kids. Their eyes were wide, and there smiles large. I hope what they seen brings them into the hobby. Our kids need interests that won't frighten them.
* next show this Sunday at Hasbrouck Heights, NJ 07004. It will be at VFW post, 513 Veterans Place.
