What are you looking for?

Caboose Stop just got a bunch of PRR stuff in a collection..

There should be a Broadway Limited set, some PRR E8s, a bunch of different GG1s..

Give Carol or Keith a call if your interested..

If your looking for Hi-Rail N scale..
I've got some Atlas-Kato RS3s, GP30s, and a U25B
I think Carol had a Trix 'Old Time Steam' (PRR B-6)

~Ian

Thanks for the tip!

No, no hi-rail...definitely not my thing. I'm open to other stuff though. Not sure what/when my next locomotive purchase may be, but I'm looking for rolling stock.

A good deal on BLI P70s (in the late 40s/50s scheme) would be welcome also.

I have access to some Pennsy stuff between 2 collections I'm aware of, some brass too. 

I don't think I need brass... This is for a slow-growing T-TRAK layout. My experience with N scale brass isn't great, and I'd rather leave brass prices to my main squeeze, the still-very-much-a-going-concern HOn3 Rio Grande Southern First District.

As for the other stuff, yeah, looking for:

Atlas USAR rebuilds in circle keystone
Intermountain AAR boxcars in circle keystone
Berwind GLA hoppers
BLI P70s in post-war scheme (the stripes above and below the windows)
B60b kits
RB50 kits

FYI, those are all now on my shopping list. I'll keep an eye out.

Well, that was.. an experience...

It was great to meet everyone.

Shopping was.. overwhelming..
Heather found a Halloween car she didn't have.
I found some #6 switches I needed.

We will probably try to make the trip again next year and devote some more time.

Unfortunately Heather wasn't feeling well and we had to duck out early.

I can't be there in person, but man, I'm on the hunt for Pennsy sh!t in N again. Don't see much of it here in D&RGW territory.

  Dave I have a couple M1's and a K4 if your interested . They all have Tsunami 2 decoders . Maybe  150.00 each ?    Mike
