I have seen similar threads on other forums and thought one would be a good topic for the Big Blue. I always enjoy seeing what everyone is buying for their layouts. Locomotives, freight cars anything goes and all scales welcome.

I'll start with mine first. I picked up a pair of Athearn RTR Procor tank cars for my propane distributor tonight off of ebay like this one.

If you have to ask, it probably isn't worth you time. Remember, this is a family forum. Yeah, I did look, and no, it won't work here.
I picked up this at my LHS only twenty minutes ago, a Rapido kit for their General American meat reefer:

Ahh, no wonder.... here's the short version of how to attach photos to you post:
  • * When composing a post, go to the bottom of the page and on the left side click on the tab, "upload attachment"
    * You will see a "browse" button, click on it and you will be taken to an explorer window on your computer.
    * Find the photo file that you want to upload, select it and click on the "open" button in the explorer window.
    * You will now be back where you started from, so now click on the "add the file" button.
    * You can finish your post and the photo will appear at the end, or you can find a spot you want to put it in and click on "place inline"
    * You can repeat this if you want to add more than one photo.

If you need more help, anyone on the Big Blue staff will be glad to help you.
Do you really want a pic of 24' of WS roadbed and 45' of Rapido bendy track?

Actually I wouldn't mind seeing a pic of the track. I didn't know Rapido was making track and since it is Rapido I'm sure it looks a lot better than the box of atlas code 100 I have have for the past ten years.
The two N scale Fox Valley boxcars at the top of this image:

My most recent shiny....

A Metroliner "Metroclub" in the Penn Central paint scheme. I hope to get quite a few more. This one will get Amtrak patches, but its tough to find reliable photos. It will be #883, one of two "unrebuilt" club cars (the other being 881). Both kept their Penn Central paint jobs to the end, the the PC worms were long replaced with Amtrak logos.

A fuzzy picture, but the lighting really brings out the red stripes. Looks good!
