Downsizing Bump in the Road

My downsizing hit a small bump in the road.
A chunk of the money I got from selling off old buildings (See the 3 Cleaning Out the Attic posts in the Trading Post) ended up in these:

The country needed to restart the pipeline with a little help from Atlas and the Venturas

I don’t even drink alcoholic beverages (but they were so enticing)!
ATLAS! When can we get them in soda can clothing (with 10 road numbers for the Pepsi car).

My local hobby shop (Yankee Dabbler) tells me the most popular item has been:

Railroad art ?   Ted Rose is my current favorite.

Although I do own a few Grif Teller PRR calendar posters from the 40's.

This finishes up one project - repowering my ABBA set of Katos with new mechanisms under the old shells.

It's been a while since I tried doing any photos in this spot, just checked it with the newer Iphone and wow, the color balance is great and the focus, well, I need to download that ap, but still... this was fun.




I'll confess to photoshopping some more sky in one corner and some foreground, but I didn't mess with anything else.

Oh, and that's Verne Niner's truck in the shot, that he gave me after we first met, complete with broken windshield and bullet holes.

I’ve spent my weekend so far building this:



It’s printing the first piece I’ve tried now, a holder for the scraper. I had never even heard of Micro Center before @Ed Kapuscinski posted. I don’t know whether to bless Ed or to curse him!

You're on the wrong side of Cincy.  Micro Center was just a 10 minute drive for me.  I spent SO much time there before moving.

More tear down of 2.0.  @Bendtracker1 , your layout isn't disappearing piece by piece is it ?



This one hurt a little bit, it was were Porters Sideling was located.  A good friend of mine helped realigned it a few years ago.  If you don't see me posting after this, it's probably because he put me in a shallow grave in the back yard  :D

"This finishes up one project - re-powering my ABBA set of Katos with new mechanisms under the old shells."

How did AT&SF number their ABBA sets? I have a set down under and I would like to put the number boards on but the numbers supplied don't make sense. Did the B units have numbers?

TIA.
