Here is my fathers day gift from my wife, she found these in a box at the flea market for $50. I was so excited and she had the nerve to ask me "Did she do good"?

0865-250 MICHIGAN CENTRAL GONDOLA 0836-1 BLACK ALASKA RAILROAD HOPPER 0817-150 AT&SF CABOOSE 0864-325 DULUTH SOUTH SHORE & ATLANTIC BOX CAR 0819-225 HO SANTA FE CABOOSE 0805-1 RADIOACTIVE WASTE CAR

0863 SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAIL TRUCK CAR

0709-1 PENNSYLVANIA VISTA DOME PASSENGER CAR 0710-1 OBSERVATION PASSENGER CAR

Penn Line GP9

Bachmann

This was in the box, but I don't know which car it goes with, any ideas?

That's awesome man. Not bad, not bad at all.

Nice haul, and for $50 too! I also have a wife (and inlaws ) who will buy me trains. I count us lucky, you and me!

She did well. The metal load goes with the Red MCRR Gondola.

All for $50?
$50 would have gotten you the Santa Fe U-Boat alone!
She did well. How big a bouquet of flowers are you getting her? Go bigger.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out. "I love your catenary!" Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

Yes, it always had one container....and no, you can't put on 2 more. Not without modifying the construction, that is...which is of course always possible
