****************The New York Society of Model Engineers train show*********************
** Well I'm back!!!! Wasn't that some kind of movie line like Arnolds " I'll Be Back ". Or there was a Horror movie with " He'sssss baaa ack ", that was said just before someone got killed. Well the show is over. I'm back ! I had a nice time. I was next to a good friend Bob N. We talked a lot, about many things. The time flew by. Bob had some Fleischmann Locos that I bought from him. A pair of F7As and a UP Baldwin switcher. He also had a Red Ball, Borden's Mike car, built, which I also purchased. The white elephant table had a Stewart U25B in New Haven, It's very nice price made it mine. The fellow to my left had a Mantua 2-8-2 Mikado, It was unique because the Mantua boiler wasn't there. It had a Cary boiler. It was all built up and ready to run, and $25. Well it's mine. I also got another dozen cars, and a 3 section Heljan 802 Roundhouse to finish. For me it was a good day.

What would it take for it to be mine! Smile Smile Smile Smile Icon_lol
New England Railroad Museum has a U25B that they still run, in New Haven paint.
In fact I painted my Kato C44-9W in the same scheme.



Still would like that U25 though..........

**OK this Sat and Sun is the Edison NJ, Greenburg train show. I'll be there all day saturday. Sunday I be watching football and drinking beer. I must partake in the great American past time. Someones got to do it. It may as well be me. I'll sacarfice mayself. No applauds, just throw money. If you can't do that just don't laugh to loud. Loud laughs hurt my feelings. I am a very delicate person.
See you at the train show saturday.

**I enjoyed the Greenburg show last saturday. It also was sunday, but I didn't go back. One dealer keeps showing up there. He is always all the way back up against the wall past some of the opperating train layouts but in the center rear of the hall. Three of the last four shows he was there. Each time it is like I don't have to go anyplace else. I do of course. This show I see he has a Walters CNJ FM H-10-44 #9700. I have a walters 9703, and a Hobbyline I painted for 9702. He only had $25. on it. I offered $20 and it was accepted. For some reason he had a life like P2000 PA1 complete drive. No body. I've been looking for one for 5 years now and there it was. He listed it for $20. I offered $15. and got it. Then He also had a pair of LL P2000 SD9s, a pair of GP7s, all Pennsy. The GPs i didn't need. The SDs he had $30. apiece on. both missed pilot steps and one had both coupler mounts broker off. I got the pair for $45. He also had what IHC calls a streamlined pacific. It has some skirting on the walkway. It had a nice paint job. The NYC Mercury in a light gray. No number, just the name Mercury on the cab sides. He listed it for $30. I offered $25. All his prices were very reasonable.
**I am always looking for Trainminature reffers and box cars. These cars are also made by Walters who had purchased the TM line. I seen one which at first glance I took for a Jelkie dairy car, it was a Jerpe dairy products car. It had a red lable on the right saying Packers of Pippin Poultry, milk and fed. On the left was the car owners name Jerpe dairy products Corp. Fayetteville Arkansas. Now this is a name I never saw or herd of before. It had a light tan underframe, so it is a walters wood sided with dreadnout ends It has a recorders mark of JERX 104. Another Walters car I found was a Pennsy X-29 old steel box with the number 55650. I have the walters car in 6 other numbers and didn't ever expect to find a different number, but here it is. In TM I found 2 cars, both old all wood unbraced.A Wilson and a Swift. The Wilson i had allready. The Swift i didn't. There were other cars and a Model power old time 4-6-0 in ATSF. I left there happy.
