Everything below the CDs were bought in Cheyenne, WY at a flea market for $25
I didn't buy any locos too high priced 
Not shown is the Model Railroad book How To Wire Your Layout That is at a friend's place & he borrowed it for a while Dated 1958 
Most expensive thing I got was the AHM Canadian Club hopper $25
Need to get the Lipton, Niagra, & Wonder hoppers

Hey microbusss,
Some nice things you picked up.
I really really like the blue truck above the green Commer bottle float.
Thanks for sharing!

GIMMIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry had an MB moment there for a bit. Cool stuff my friend. Speaking of which, don't I owe you the Smuckers car? I am pretty sure that it was you I promised it to. I came across it when cleaning stuff up.
PM me your address and I will try to get it out ASAP>
