Well things have been slow the last month or so....but I am back at it again stumbling into a few deals here and there. Picked up quite a few cars that I will debut later on JR's UPPR but will share a few here as I got these in the last week and a half.
1st up I got a very unusual and rare production car from Athearn and possibly done by one of the those after market guys like Bev-Bel or other. Unfortunately it did not come with a box but I know this is a rare find. A guy had this in Pennsylvania and he was unloading a lot of older BB cars.
So here it is a BB but most likely aftermarket.... ASAB Atlantic & St. Andrews Bay "The Bay Line" 40' SD Box Car #357642
Next up is a custom painted one....
An Athearn BB car......ASAB Atlantic & St. Andrews Bay "The Bay Line" 50' box car #2321 (CUSTOM PAINTED)
next up....
Athearn - Genesee & Wyoming 50' Box Car Train GNWR #300019
next we have a Walthers Union Pacific 45' Logging Flat Car Train UP #51279 w Log Load. I have been wanting at least a 6 of these and this is my 1st one I have been able to get my hands on. I may need to change the load a bit not entirely impressed with the "logs" that came on it nor am I crazy about the black string. I have better "cable" or chains for that.
next on deck are some parts....a few packages of trucks that will receive metal wheels.
then I have this coming to me and it has not arrived yet but I got this on the cheap....8 bucks so I think it may turn out to be a good buy we shall see.
Union Pacific #14025 Custom HEAVILY Weathered 3 Bay Hopper Car but I am unsure of the manufacturer but I will determine that once it's in my hands.
and the last order that has not arrived yet but will be here by Friday. I pulled the trigger on a NRE unit....
Atlas HO Trainman Plus #10 001 203 NRE Genset Locomotive Union Pacific #2727
