I have a few more reefers to post. They are Accurail reefers and can in no way be considered Vintage. They are old in type but not age. I was told they were undecorated and finished by a now no longer among us very good person. A person I have not met but was told about, and a pleasant tale it...

Somewhere I saw photos of Bill Nelson's layout and I was a happy camper to find them. Great photos of a very nice layout with good scenery. Maybe I'll get lucky and find it again. edit; I found them on page 3. frank

I am still looking for the HObbyline tank car "CONOCO" with no results. So I took some HObbyline undecorated kit tank cars and made my own till I can find an original one.

Zathros I know what you're talking about. As a truly senior citizen retired for12 years now, my pension and social security doesn't let me afford the new DCC trains. I am glad my old trains are still running.
