Got these Lionel Standard O Boxcars
Wow! I had no idea Bev Bel did O gauge too! Awesome!Post Man dropped these off. These are very old Atlas “O” cars I enjoy collecting these some are built and some you have to build but are easy and fun to build.

Yes they did a lot for Atlas “O”. I found some more and waiting for them to get here I’ll post them when they arrive. I might start a thread on what ones I have already they are nice.Wow! I had no idea Bev Bel did O gauge too! Awesome!
Snagged these as they came in today via USPS. I showed them off on JR's UPPR thread.

These pictures were from the ebay seller....
I got all 3 of these for 24 bucks plus 8 for shipping. Pretty good deal I think.

Those D&RGW cars are cool! Had not seen those before. Something new to add to the watch list - if, being custom, they can be found. Thanks!
That’s a nice set up! Keep posting that O scale stuff.Hard for me to not absolutely rave about this. Do you guys know the researcher/author John Luecke? He's written and co-written a bunch of books about railroads in Minnesota. The guy just recently completed a project of indexing 4,300 railroad maps from all over Minnesota. So for $35 I got a huge cache of Milwaukee, Rock, MN&S, GN, NP, C&NW, and other railroad's track geometry information. These things are incredible.

Also, since TrucTrain55 keeps posting his new Lionel stuff, I also got a Lionel piece! I've been wanting a caboose to go with my #2338 GP7 and I finally got one. This was a special caboose done for a Lionel club in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Just received my new Digitrax UT-6 throttle the other day. My first impressions are....meh. Probably not going to get anymore. One reason is that they don’t fit into all my throttle pockets and another is that it will need updated via computer every now and then. Not interested it that.
I like the old throttles too. Just retired my two 2-digit UT throttles. Had them forever.Thanks for your input. I don't need another throttle since I have throttlesfrom the 400 series down to the first run of Digitrax throttles. In my opinion this new release of 600 Series throttles have a "Toy Like" appearance to them.
