Hey gents,
I just received an ebay box of misc O27 track and a pair of manual switches (my first!). The track needs a bit of cleaning. I'm starting to think about a little O layout ... narrow, though ... maybe 32" deep, max.
T-Man ... I grabbed the ebay lot not for the track, but for a 1015 transformer in great condition, to replace "our" little Mr. Science project from a few weeks ago. I don't plan on using it (got the new CW-80 going), but I wanted to reconstitute the components that came with my old #1590 set from '58.
Are you planning on going to the Greenberg show at the Shriner's Hall in Mass on March 27/28? I'll be there with kids in tow.

I wish I had an actual work bench... This stuff will be getting worked on soon... I am not looking to keep much of it... My hope is to be able to keep one of the 6462 gondolas and the red 6562 gondola... I may keep the milk cars depending on their condition, but they both need doors... Based on the pictures I should be able to build 12 cars, and then be left with like 10 or so frames / shells... Whatever I do not want will be resold... I really bought it for the pickup roller trucks and the locomotive headlight lens, LOL... It should keep me busy once it arrives

It is a Scout type boiler, and it is just the shell... Both marker lights are broken off it though...

My new SD-90 MACs arrived today and the powered one is on my work bed (LOL) getting ready to be regreased

Today my powered SD90MAC went back onto my work bench... The previous owner either overfilled the smoke unit at one point, or shipped it when there was still smoke fluid in it... Anyways, there was a nice layer of it coating the floor of the frame... I completely disassembled everything, including the electronics to make sure that I was able to wipe up everything

Hey all,
Just a quick update on my Lionel Alcos. Finally got some motivation to do some needed bodywork on the shells.

Someday they will get new paint and decals

Why don't you just attach pictures here?
You don't seem to have much luck with photo bucket.:laugh:

TJ,
I got some metal replacements for them from someone here, but the body work would have been extensive, so I decided to shelve them for a while.
Dug them out Friday and used plastic square stock and sheet to replace broken parts.
Now all I need is decals...
Cheers, Ian

Ahhh ... I see that now ... the white on the bottom and sides. Nice work ... that curve around the front looks well suited to the loco.
