Train Show Finds

I did go to the Woodstock Train Show last week.  I had considered getting myself a table at the show, but in the end just went as a customer.  $5 to get in the door, so I thought that was still quite reasonable.

I visited briefly with a couple of the vendors that I'm a bit acquainted with, and picked up 3 items for myself, so here's photos of those...

First up, I have this 53 foot Schneider trailer:This should look good backed up to a loading door, being pulled along one of the roadway overpasses, or maybe I'll just have it parked in a lot somewhere.

Here's an ExactRail 60 foot high-cube boxcar I found at the show

I really didn't need this (well, the truth is, that I didn't "need" any of these), but it should make for a good future weathering project.  I don't quite know what it is about this shade of blue, but I've had good success fading and weathering it before.

And this Athearn RTR SD 45 Tunnel Motor was at a price that I didn't want to turn down (so I didn't).

Could this become a leaser sometime on the layout here in the future?

I'll close out with this view that Brian Smith sent me from his new layout he's working on

Looks like it's going to be a pretty busy area for Brian.

Thanks for looking in.
