not much western route I like except the older green color Burlington. :) You already know what I like. Have fun, hope you find lots of good (affordable) stuff,and have loads of stories to tell and pics to upload here after you're done with the trip. Just watch out for low-flying geese headed back NORTH.

Wow, what a cheap price for a General! You got a heck of a deal there! And the Hustler was a sweet buy, even with no rubbers on it. Just send it to the dental office for a check-up. LOL. Well, get some rest, and share more tomorrow when you're over travel fatique.

Very nice finds! Although I'm not really a steam fan. I do like the General you picked up. The Hustler is a great find too, $1 nice! The pick of the litter for me is the Matchbox Walt's semi, I wants Enjoy it Walt.
Thanks for sharing your finds.
