Hey guys:
I recently bought two seperate batches of stuff off Evilbay and I wanted to post pics for help ID'ing:
The earlier batch:
The batch enroute now is:
If something is of particular interest let me know. A few are spoken for. The Wesson car for example. Also the newsprint car and Canforest products one, but let me know.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

| The two green European coaches look like Fleischman, Hornby would be my second guess. The depressed center flat looks like an AHM. The six axle flat doesn't surprise me, put it side by side with Athearn four truck heavy duty flat and you'll see they share the same mold, no doubt Bachmann and Lionel shared the mold. The green beasties look like Pemco, the marker being the tenders. They were made from another manufacturer's molds that used the tender for the motor, making for the boxy profile around the front. Still, they look great. I have the Union Carbide tank, it is a Life Like as is the CN 2 bay hopper. The hopper came from Varney molds.

Hey Shaygetz:
The two CNR Hudsons are Mehano they came from Presidents Choice sets. The green psgr cars are Flieshmanns. They're getting sold on Evilbay soon.
Most of the stuff in the earlier batch has been ID'd. Not so much the latter one. Photo's #3 on->

 Awesome collection I sees about 6 cars I needs to find 
I'd buy locos from shows but quite often too much money for them sometimes 
I sees a Tyco Auto Carrier on the far right in the 3rd pic

Are those IHC hudsons on top? You say Mahano. Does that mean the drive is in the locomotive and not like Pemco in the tender.

Hey Frank
The motors are definitely in the Engine, Not the tender... the Hudsons are for sale.
I'm too busy with writing a book and helping a friend with another and taking on fostering three at risk Teenagers to have any time for Trains. Kids are way more interesting anyway!

A noble pursuit...
Nice Hudsons...could you PM me your desired price for one?
As for the Pemco question, they're from old Pemco molds which came from another manufacturer. The original locos did have the motors in the tenders, hence the squared off fuel bunker. Most real Vanderbilt tenders would have a slope to the front as seen in the rivet pattern, although I wouldn't be surprised to find some obscure squared prototype somewhere.

Hey Shay!
Told Frank I'd look at a price... One is complete the other a semi-complete missing a wing or fence. They have been in boxes for a while... I'm back to the US in early Feb for a concert at the Lincoln Center in New York, so I could bring them down, and ship then... I have stuff to send Mike,... Don't know about anything else. It's a lot of trouble to ship someone a single car or two... again I'm gonna Mike but then over the last few years the number of things he's sent and I'm sending him other stuff... so...
Shay, PM a best guess on price for either. I have to find which of seven large storage bins thsoe loco's are packed in!
