So I've been feeling left out these last few years since my HO empire met its demise. Then I noticed the Railroadiana section. I've got all kinds of railroad stuff to show off! So here we go.
This is a Santa Fe license plate. Don't know anything about it other than I bought it for 5 bucks at the Sparks, KS flea market.

As for my model railroading...I'm still planning to build a shed this summer that I can use for storage and to set up a new HO/O multi scale layout. Fingers crossed. If I get the time, I'll post more things like this on here.

That's a pretty sweet find. I imagine it came off of a Santa Fe semi-truck since they did have them. On top of that, those Indians look like something out of a Disney movie.

Railroadiana is good stuff to post. I like it, as well as others apparently. Keep bringing it out to photograph, always fun to see what railroad-related stuff is out there.

I think I'll make this my new "of the week" thing. I've got a lot of this type of "stuff" on display here and there, but most of my actual models are packed up.
Coming soon...timetables, signs, belt buckles, lanterns, and much more!
