Been hitting the train/toy meets the last few weeks. Not as much fun as when I was actively looking for stuff, but I still find interesting bits which will eventually find their way onto the layout. Picked up these two projects from a guy's under-table everything-is-a-buck box:
The 629 coach is pretty beat up. It may end up getting stripped and repainted as an addition to the mini-SG set I put together a few years ago. The 1514 I'll try to refurbish to some level of respectability. I sent one last order in to George Tebolt for doors, couplers, and a few other bits for the parts box...got a nice note from Agnes saying thanks and that mine was the last retail order going out. They've retired, and they've earned it!
Sarge, my son, and I hit the Greater York Toy Extravaganza the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Bought a bunch of stuff there, including this Corgi Cooper-Maserati from 1967 or so:
Pretty ingenious - lean the driver right or left and the front wheels cut in that direction.
