Closing out October with Halloween...middle-school teacher daughter stopped by on Sunday to carve pumpkins for school:
Hope we get more than ten trick-or-treaters tonight.

Sorry, just saw your comment. These should be prewar or early post war. Each are shown in the prewar Lobaugh catalogs.

Middle of the week put up a shelf to hold my big Bronze electrics. I figure the shelf has about 80 pounds of doorstop hanging on it lol

I miss the old times of model railroading. The HO cars I purchased back then were all kits. My Ulrich Ballast Gondola was all metal and had doors on the bottom that could be opened to dump gravel.
I see a Lionel 6034, @ $1.29, in the December 13, 1956 advertisement. I was in Roundhouse Electric Trains, Louisville, kY, November 9th, looking for Scout engines when my wife said, "Look at this... a baby box car that says, 'Baby Ruth,' on it." I didn't think one of these "baby" cars could look so good after 70 years.
I took it home for only, $10.00.

Thank you for the good word in this 6034 find, Jim.
I haven't seen you post on MTJ for a long time Jim. How are you?

Thank you for the lead warning, Chris. I won't lick it to see if it tastes like a Baby Ruth.
I did taste test my ZW when I got it. It tasted/smelled like a phenol plastic.

Wayne,
You are correct, I have been missing in action for a bit. Some health matters to get through, before the next batch arrive. I just received my long awaited (like 1.25 years) Pennsy Doodlebug from Lionel. I like it just fine.
Train & Traction ON!
