Hey Bus! I am sorry I liked that Red Ball reefer so much I may not have given you enough of a chance to drive over to the show by The Giants stadium on Hoboken Road here in Jersey. I waited but you weren't showing so I got it instead of you. It seems you just never made it to the show. I feel bad about it, but it has become a fixture in with My other Thomas trains. It will be very hard to separate them from each other. Yep it fits right in with them.
Maybe next time Bus!
Bus here is photo for you of what you missed. I put in a large size photo so you can click on it to enlarge it so it is easier for you to view it. Enjoy!

I was at the ATMA show too. Here's the story
I set out for the show hoping for a few things that I even wrote on a list to stay focused. I wanted some more MDC Pennsy Overland coaches, sleepers, baggage, etc to add to my 1910 consist and perhaps some more Rivarossi heavyweights to go with the ones WKS gave me some time ago. 4 cars is all I needed to make it a great show... I mean 50 bazillion square feet of musty, crusty and dusty train stuff should hold that small treasure. Did not see ANY of those pieces...
But,
AND THE CHASE WAS ON!
The big win was this this Rivarossi GG1 for $25. I took it to the test track and it was the smoothest runner of any of my Gs!
Then there is this Atlas yellow box NOS GP-38 for $22. It's a clicker but we can fix that offending gear.
Then there were some varied rolling stock and accessories purchases on the cheap:
A Bronco PC box car that has the tooling and even packaging similar or same to early 70s Bachmann.
The box says Bronco was headquartered in Westbury, Long Island.
An Athearn Rohm and Haas boxcar is a shoutout to all my chemistry teachers who used R&H flasks, bunsen burners and chemicals in our chem lab days.
And there's this bright AHM promotional tanker that advertises a parts supplier to dangerous industries.
Some bridges and buildings rounded out today's haul.
All in all a great day of recreational shopping and hanging with some good friends. A very good Saturday!

Treasures to behold, El Rojo. Nice scores. Are you going to leave
the G as is or do a repaint? That Bronco piece is to die for.

| The G will stay blue, but since it was done up in that color in 1969, it is a PC! I finally have a PC GG-1. I have this one, the Amtrak Savings Bond, the silver Amtrak snd a Tuscan Pennsy. The Geep is undec so that will get its worms before long!

Well, I got lucky and the 5 and last Aristocraft 2-6-0 Thomas Rogers came my way and I didn't pass it up. The CP joins the UP, Camden and Amboy, Philadelphia and Reading, Chicago and Rock Island. Only the new CP has no original box.

Jeff i really dont know. I saw it was complete, in nice condition, and the right road name. Anything else I can fix. I'll get another one just to get a box for it, unless I get lucky and just find an empty box. I got all 5 road names now and 4 are boxed.
They store nice in the boxes.

A couple of weeks ago, I saw an ALCO FA-1 on the table at the Great Midwest Train Show. It was marked $15, which was a pretty good deal, so I handed it to the seller, and he quoted me a price of $10. So much the better!
I got it home and it didn't run, but that was because it was a DCC locomotive on a DC layout. I bypassed the decoder and made it a DC engine and it runs and pulls very well.
I liked the snazzy Union Pacific paint scheme, but wanted it lettered for my railroad. Alcohol quickly removed the factory lettering while not affecting the paint, so I just washed off the U.P. name and added my own reporting marks.
It was missing a few parts off the roof, namely air horns and some sort of dome-like cap. I don't know what the cap is, but it's always there on an FA-1, and I could see where it had been broken off. I put in a Kadee plastic Phillips head screw, filled in the screwdriver hole with Bondo glazing and finishing putty, and stuck in a little nub of plastic to represent a little bump that the original cap had in the middle. I had some air horns on hand, so I put those on and matched some paint as best I could to the paint already on the shell for them. Also, I painted the inside of the exhaust stack black so it would look like in was a hole down into the model rather than a little rectangle molded on the roof. Grids and louvers got a wash of black paint to look like they were dirty and had the dark interior behind them.
The trucks had a little rod sticking out the sides of them on which the frame rode so it couldn't rock excessively. On one truck, that's a good idea. On both, it makes the engine so stiff that it derails anywhere the track is not perfectly flat. I removed the rods from the front truck, and now the front truck can rock with any imperfections in the track. It now equalizes well and stays on the rails.
Oddly for a DCC engine, it came with hook and horn couplers, which I replaced with Kadees, since that's what my railroad uses. After all the paint and parts, my $15 engine, discounted to $10, is probably $15, again, but the way it runs and pulls, it's worth several times that.
Carpe Manana!

Well back from the flea market today. It was a good day. A real good day! Besides the regular trains I got from Gary Athearn Scranton Railroad box car, Dow HObbyline RTR tank car, Silver Streak/Walters/ train miniature Crane, and boxed TM reefer Brookside Dairy, Walters complete kit for an 8,000-gallon tank car and Walters Oscar and Piker both unbuilt and boxed, I got the real good day item, a Tenshodo Northern with tender in Great Northern in factory paint in their boxes for a low price.
"It was a Heck of a Day". Tomorrow is the Hamburgh PA train show. I am not sure if I will go

Buss, at present it is on my work bench being taken apart. I run out of rust bust, so I need a trip today to a hardware store to get some more. I am looking forward to running it double-headed with another one in longer freight trains. This particular Lionel GP7 has a very different drive system. It has only one powered truck and it is all crud-ed up with rust and gink. I be very lucky if I can get this drive apart without destroying it.

This has been a great 4, or 5-week period for me with the acquisition of a number of Vintage steam locomotives. The best being the Tenshodo Great northern 4-8-4, Then the Aristocraft C&O 4-8-2, a pair of Aristocraft 2-6-0 Moguls both the Camden and Amboy, and the Central Pacific. Another Aristocraft Mikado in a different number 4028. These 5 locos have been on my want list for years. I am really happy about that Jouef French 231 (American 4-6-2) for I should have it together and running tomorrow. Its condition is like new just no box. The corroded Lionel Santa Fe GP7 has caused me some grief with the motor drive mechanism mounting screws just not budging, staying frozen solid with their rust and crud. My penetrating oil just isn't doing its job freeing the screws.

About 6 days ago I received in trade a HObbyline Special tank car. Rohm & Hass. By special I mean uncatalogued. I've known of its existence for close to 6 years but have never even seen one till I got my first one. On March 25 I saw another on eBay in a vintage group of 9 tank cars. 2 HObbyline, the ROHM & Hass and a Union starch' two Gilbert, both GULF tank cars a single dome #500 and a3 dome # 511, three varney, 1 Tyco a Hooker tank, and a Globe Apco Apdx 8295. it was listed "make an offer" so I did and got lucky and my offer was accepted. The cars came today. A really nice bunch of tank cars.

Ditto to what WKS said, Frank. Those are exquisite gems from when HO
was new. I see these posts of yours and I swear if I were a younger man
I'd have made an operating collection of these beauties.

Thanks for the nice words, Richy and Jeff. I dont deserve them, but it is nice to hear them. Thank you both! I tell ya,"Younger was better". I keep forgetting things so maybe I'll forget that too. I'll just think, Oh what a good day today has been. That sounds much better.
Well, dont know If I listed it but. Tuesday is my old fuddy dude meeting of the Jersey Central Railroad Historical Society. Best part of the meeting is it is above a American Legon Post in Westfield. It is a very friendly place. The next best is the Movies and slid shows. Yea, lots of trains.
Also Saturday April 9th Is the East Rutherford train show at St. Joe's Church, across the street from the New York Society of Model Engineers club house. Boy that is a formal club name. It should have been the "Happy time Modelers". The next day the 10th, is the Wayne train show at the Pal hall. That for me is a busy weekend. The sat. show is 15 minutes from my town. The Sunday show is 30 minutes or less away. I never had a train weekend like that in my life. So It'll be a whoopee weekend.
See you guys around.

I miss slide shows. They had a certain snap and vividness that power

I found all this stuff at the Greenberg show in Pittsburgh. For less than &110
Atlas Conrail U36C. $60
2 Roundhouse covered hoppers and an Athearn 2 bay hopper. $20
Atlas Peabody hopper $15
Mantua Heavy DuPont tank car. $10.
Honestly, I think I spent more on T shirts for wifey and me than i did on actual trains.

I went to a small train show in Lindenhurst New York yesterday.
Bought an old Life Like box of four autumn trees for seven dollars.
Pleasant day around the area on southern Long Island.
