This will be the first time in quite a few years that I won't be selling at a table (we've pretty much sold off as much of my late buddy's collection as there seems to be a market for in these parts).

I'll definitely be attending Saturday, though.

Shot and scored this morning, cleaning up on some great deals once again. Kato F40Ph with DCC for $40, viewliner for $18, entire Joeouf Turbo for $18, and an assorment of other odds and ends. Going back tomorrow afternoon to see if the estate sale is closing out on prices as "he doesn't want to take any of this home".

I myself picked up an undec Atlas GP40 for $50 (and there was 3 more too --oh the joys of having a mortgage, car payments, upcoming college tutition ) and a few cars....accidently left one behind too...iffen anybody sees an undec PS-2 2-bay covered hopper sitting around, it's mine

That estate sale table has some interesting items on it. Old American GK GE electrics from around 1980, undec Atlas and Kato locomotives, and a wealth of stuff produced from the 1980s until a few years ago. Sean was lucky that he beat me to that Jouef Turbo...

I'm a bit disappointed that Funaro and Camerlengo bailed this year (they were supposed to bring an unusual kit for me), but I found plenty of stuff that I could use from other vendors, particularly lots of photos, the new Intermountain AAR Alternate Design two-bay coal hoppers and a Bluford Shops transfer caboose I've been looking for.

Turn-out was light yesterday, presumably due to the blowing snow. At least there wasn't an ice storm, as they've had a number of years.

With -30 wind chills today I'm expecting even less people. We're talkin our last couple bucks of "train show money" and seeing if we can't get the "I don't want to take it home" deals this afternoon. Yeah we're the "lucky ones fritz.. That turbo runs like garbage and details even on code 100 track but for $18 I'll take it. We have already started rebuilding a couple F40PH's that we got, a trainline one to become Amtrak 90200, and a KATO is to become Via 6400.

Yeah, to get that Jouef turbo to run decently, you're looking at a heavy re-power job and a good deal of work on the trucks. But still, nobody's made anything else quite like it, so it's the only reasonable starting point around.

Hehehe
The guy had it backwards on the very back of the table. Caught it on my 3rd pass... Saw the 3 dollar per piece price tag and I couldn't get my wallet out fast enough. Some other guy saw pull it out and said if you don't buy it I will! Looking at the drive, I think I could use an athearn or p2k motor in there if it was small enough. Have no idea what I'm going to do about the flanges though.
