Four Bulidings, Three Diet Cokes, Two Chili Dogs - eightyeightfan1 - 01-27-2014
and one tired 52 year old model railroader.
The Big E model railroad show was great this year. Even the new Better Half enjoyed herself. Bought herself some Chessie stuff and of course I had to also(unfortunately it was in that other scale. Nscale I think they call it) Here's what followed me home yesterday.
Also learned something. Here's a pop quiz:
What were the names of Chessie and Peake's kittens? (place Jeopardy theme here)

Nice covered hopper. :mrgreen:

I really like those coil shield cars. Looks like the covered hopper is some sort of piggy back unit.

Good to see you bought something in the correct scale!
The names of the two kittens were "dog" and "food".

Well,
Mike took my first choices 
, so I guess I'll have to go with "Nip", and Tuck".A Big Boy is about to be restored to operation :o ...... :oops: who's going to do the C&O H8, and resolve the "age old question" about "Powerful Locomotives"
---------------
Yeah, C&O is one of my favorite railroads.

Three Diet Cokes, Two Chili Dogs..

O and Hio ?
Balti and More ?
I must have the answer somewhere.
Re: Four Bulidings, Three Diet Cokes, Two Chili Dogs - eightyeightfan1 - 01-28-2014
Sumpter had the right answer. Nip and Tuck. It was the C & O guys not the Chessie guys that told us. Actually the Chessie Historical guys seemed standoffish: "Grab a pamphlet and drag."....Hmmm....Yeah..I'm going to join.....
They had apple pie there? Must of missed that booth.
Coil shield cars were a little pricey. But after seeing the ones someone posted in the WPF thread: "I had to get one!". And the detail that I saw on them, worth every penny. Just wish the cover came off.
And I'm still tired today.......
