Railfair was this weekend, and of course I was up bright and early to get the good stuff. There's never an amazing selection of used stuff, but I did find some good pieces. Here are some overview shots. I'll post better pics of the good stuff later on.
Here are the trains I bought.
These are the buildings and accessories. The LifeLike signs are neat. I'll post some pics in the LL section of the forum.
I also bought a Railpower 1370 transformer. It's identical to my other one, but it only cost $20

Not sure about the Zenith train MB, found a caboose on ebay for 10 including shipping. The 7-11 car is up for trade if you have anything.
Jerry I got the UP sd-24 for $25, I didn't think it was a bad deal. I have several of the IHC SD's, they run very well.

I like the CN passenger cars, DaCheez. Even though I'm more of a CP guy mself, the black and white is striking. Makes for a sharp consist.
eaglerock, what type of loco is the Zenith? GE something or other?
I have some IHC SD24's to. They're a nice little budget locomotive, if a little underweighted.

DaCheez :
For a tyco person that C&O box car is the find of that group. Looks to be a nice clean one, and boxed.

Tykowolf, I think it's a U36, I agree on the SD24's being light weight. I add a 1/4 oz to each end of the loco. There's not much room for more than that, helps a bit.
Buss The caboose is the same as you have pictured, I haven't bought the other one yet, want to trade for the 7-11?
