That's why every piece has to be picked up and looked at because you never know!

Terry, I've never seen or heard of a clipped corner 820 boxcar nor an 822 caboose. Also never encountered either stamped on both ends, or an 822 with the number stamped on the right.

I check at least 2-3 times a day. Not much to report on. Nothing new in my collection. Nothing being sold in early period Lionel O Gauge at any of the auction houses or on eBay worth talking about.

Nice clean looking outfit! I never heard of Bailey's or a Bailey Special. I wonder what the History and Newspaper ads are that they mention.

Nice find. Any addition is great as they are few and far between.
Probably not an error as I have a couple.
Happy Holidays to all! Stay Safe!

Terry, What you have is not a K. It's a 106 as shown and described in the 1913 catalog. Nice acquisition!

Terry,
Sometimes I think it's crazy to spend all that money to go to YORK and come home with so little. But there's no train meets here in the area. I suppose I could save the money and just buy at auction but the early O stuff I collect just doesn't show up. So I go and treat it as a vacation and a chance to get together with friends and hope for the best train-wise.

Well, I'm home from YORK. I had a great week meeting up with friends and also managed to come home with a couple of jewels for my collection.
First is a 150 in Olive. No surprise as I knew it was being brought for me. Still, great piece and glad to have it.
Now THIS is my YORK find! It's a 153 with gold handrails and no reverse. It couldn't have a reverse as there is no hole punched in either end for the reverse rod to come through! So I guess it's a 152 stamped 153. Also the NEW YORK CENTRAL LINES printing is double stamped on the one side.

Terry - Nice 706! Always hard to find especially with decent rubber stamping. I'll be at YORK and hope to get something to post here by the end of the month.

The paint looks right to me but why is there only one picture? Why don't you call them for more info; 321-799-4005
