$6000. I didn’t pay much more for my car 😮 😆
bargetanikaParticipantI though the Bagnell Branch passengers rode in the drovers cabooses. If they are riding in a bus, I’ll be more than glad to relieve you of those cabooses! 😆 😆 And help you clean out the cabinets 😆 😆
bargetanikaParticipantRMC 5-53. That’s a right small while back.
bargetanikaParticipantI doubt if they would have dissed a MILWAUKEE ROAD car.
bargetanikaParticipantThis video was around before but this time with a really cool jazzy soundtrack.
I never thought I’d be sentimental about diesels. But this is the railroading I saw when young. All the F units and high nose geeps and cabooses. In the plains country that I love. There is an associated video that shows a heavyweight combine at the end of a mixed train. Sigh.
bargetanikaParticipantThere was always something like this parked at the freight house in New Iberia .
bargetanikaParticipantOf course, that’s the wife putting everything on eBay the day after the funeral to get her sewing room within the week! 😯
That’s more or less a true story! Heard it from an LHS guy while on the road, except in this case she had the LHS picking up the trains while some carpenters were sawing up the layout to get it out fast. I guess that’s better than throwing the trains in the trash .
bargetanikaParticipantNo one knows anything about trains any more. On eBay we should also look for coal cars, cattle cars, tankers, and platform cars. Another error that could be made is calling a “shoving platform “ a “caboose “. 😮 😆
bargetanikaParticipantLoubat is still in business in New Orleans. I’ve done business with them for commercial kitchen equipment. I had no idea that they’d been around this long though.
bargetanikaParticipantThe photo of the yellow end of the wood bunk car arrived very timely for me. I’m getting ready to do a couple of bunk cars, and this photo clearly shows that the yellow paint stops below the roof fascia . Now all I need is a side photo showing how far it extended on the car side.
I remember box car red heavyweight MOW cars but I don’t remember yellow ends on them.
bargetanikaParticipantHave you tried changing your wheelsets on your derailing cars?
bargetanikaParticipantThese are 60’ cars but they may work better on a small layout. I have two of these 60’ combines running on 24” radius curves and a few no. 5 switches and they do great.
bargetanikaParticipantbargetanikaParticipantCharlie, the combine that is in the photo of the Bagnell Branch you post from time to time ….. isn’t it something like this?

The Bachmann combine is pretty nice and comes up on sale from time to time. I have two.

bargetanikaParticipantThey had ex T&NO 4-4-0 216 for a while. Until the 60s she was a well preserved 1900 rebuild of an 1880s ex UP engine. I visited her often at her final operating home, a sugar mill in Erath, LA. Steamtown of all people butchered her making a bogus “Golden Spike “ engine. I’m pretty sure she went to Portola after that, and I believe now is at some CA winery on static display, restored to a 1900 appearance.
