Nice pics. Lee, all that vintage iron takes me back to when I was a kid. My folks had a '49 Merc.
With a flathead V8 and overdrive. Cheers, Rick H.

Lee, great photos, like the ground level ones, they really give a good impression.
Great collection of cars and trucks on display.
Do you ever weather the rolling stock ? that Western Pacific would be fun .

Sometimes but I really like them looking new it took me a long time to get some of these and I really don’t want to mess them up by weathering. I have a Boxcar pre weathered though Belinda bought it for my the other day at Menards here it is

Cool set up lee :thumb2: I’ll have to show my son, he loves model trains:smiling4:

Great photos Lee, can see your point in a way about not doing the weather. That boxcar that Belinda bought does look perfect .
You'll have to get a Yorkshire Tea boxcar ! :smiling3::smiling3:

Si. Thanks for dropping in and the complement. Hope you son likes it

John. I’ve weathered HO Boxcars but not these O scale I would hate to mess up a $50.00+ car. Yes that’s a great idea I may just build that tea car

Lee.
Your right there, at that price I would leave well alone.
There you are, a challenge , take a blank boxcar, get some printed copies of a Yorkshire Tea Box and glue them on, ! Of course not as easy as I've made out , but it would look so good .

Nice looking SW1500 Lee, my very first HO scale model was an SW1500 painted and decaled up for the DM&IR (Duluth Missabe & Iron Range Rwy.). Wish I had the room to build a layout. Then I could get out all the brass locomotives I have had all these years and put them to good use. Rick H.

Rick. Thanks I Custom built this one. Been thinking about posting pics of my HO layout think I might this Model Railroading is a lot more fun than building Millitary Models for me these days. Check out my Custom built Wood Reefer on the rolling stock forum here.
