New purchases #2

[ginzokid]

My new N scale Shay should be here soon. I think that June is the Canadian F7 release also. B-)

I joked with LHS saying that MTL is gonna release at the last minute a notice saying they are gonna be late with the f7 release.

According to www.4nscale.com they are still expecting the Canadians Loco FT series to ship in June.Sure hope so I got two of them coming. Jack

[ginzokid]

Jack, why are you getting two? You know there will be a B unit later and maybe a different numbered A also. B-)

[jamajack]

Pete, I have no idea why I ordered two when the notice came out. Stupid maybe, If they do come out with a B unit or different A units I can sell one to pay for the other. Or I can go the route of still in the orignal box never run scenario that might bring an extra buck or two should I live so long. Jack

I decided a few weeks ago to part with my Atlas SW1500 dummy calf that I had painted up as my shortline. Went to LHS today and it was sold. Also dropped off one of my I/Mtn 'frito lay' hoppers. that dutch auction finally arrived yesterday after a month. I kept the Potocan and one frito lay car for my layout.LHS got a shipment of I/Mtn cars this week. One style was the famous and always sold out Saskatchewan Wheat board grain hopper. so I used up my store credit (from loco sale) to put towards it. Only 2 cars left on layaway. ANd several more on order still. Plus new I/Mtn releases so I looked at color order form and placed an order for the new Saskatchewan grain car (green in color), CN lifesaver or rainbow whatever cyl hopper, and a Saskatchewan Potash cyl hopper I/Mtn collector...eventually opened and to be run dave

Not a purchase but a sale. I finally decided to sell off my two MRC CM20s. Hate to see them go, but I'll never have use for them again, even with the proposed small N layout. Might as well let someone else get good use out of them. They are now listed and I hope I didn't price them too high. I'm still waiting for my second Shay to arrive. B-)

[dl85vette]

What are you gonna use for the N layout?

[ginzokid]

I have a new dual MRC280. I also have two older MRC TechII 2500s. Plenty of power for the N. B-)

The new Shay came today and it is a winner. Runs like a dream. Now I have two for the N scale layout. Today I decided that I would check out the operation of the engines on a steep slope which I will need for the small layout. The Shays, GP18, Consolidated and the F3 all would climb the 7% grade I set up. Sadly, the Galloping Goose will not climb any grade, period. I will have to have a totally level section to be able to run it. Now, do I sell it or keep it? It's the cutest little thing and runs so well. Maybe I'll try to put some weight into it before too long and test it again. All I really need is about a 4% grade anyway. B-)

Close to $1000. Three HO scale Big-Boys with DCC and sound ought to do it. Or an NCE DCC set up and 3 or 4 On30 engines. Hey wait a minute! That's what I have! Golly gee whiz! You mean I could have remodeled the bath room if I didn't want to have fun? :D I'm home now waiting for the bad news from FORD. B-)
