I had a pretty good day at the show in Cumberland MD.
Picked up these items: An early Mantua PTed D&H 630, a SOO Alco 430 w/box, both with complete handrails, a rail to track crossover, A B&M operating hopper minus brake wheel, an Exxon triple dome tanker, A covered hopper Shell Plastics AHM, a Tyco 40' IC boxcar, an Athearn Chassis, marked Crown on price sticker, with WP B shell and some bags of parts. Saw no Tyco Sharks.
PS: ...And some FREE paperwork including a 74 catalog in good condition.

Nice finds, especially the crossing and that 630.

Nice finds.
I like the Athearn chassis. It is a rather unusual transition piece. The old Hi-F style motor with the geared trucks.

| There's not much cooler than the Tyco Delaware & Hudson 630 in my book. Just has a neat look about it.

High-five! Great stuff, you must be glad to have that crossing and Mantua 630.

Glad to get a positive reaction. I was happy. The SOO had the power truck turned around backwards so it runs now, Haven't fired the 630 but looks complete and in good condition or better. The Athearn chassis runs but needs cleaned. The crossing is Tyco but doesn't match the track in the 74 catalog. Both Mantuas missing that coupler box with the 2 prongs.
