« Last post by Terry on August 13, 2023, 10:49:01 PM »I'm looking at this 50 loco on ebay:
Here's auction:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/394800057632
I think that's repainted. What do you think?
I don't want to bid and then send it back. But at the same time, I missed out on a late 42 in that color because I thpught it was repainted. The seller won't answer questions or send more photos.
Here's something else that's neat. Rare large window 6250 Seaboard switcher cab:
I had a 624 switcher with the same broken out window touched up to make a large window years ago. He says it's a factory replacement shell made from defective shell. I don't remember how many stantions the 624 had.
here's the listing:

I haven't bought anything in a while. I upgraded a boxcar, but nothing interesting.

Original Lionel Racing Automobile Outfit Instruction Sheet. Never seen one before!
Lionel's 1st "short" loco Outfit 160 with dark green 150 and matching 600 Pullmans.
This dates to late 1917 - early 1918. The 1st Outfit 160's had the "long body" 150. Same size as the 700.
Found and bought off eBay. I contacted the seller and learned these were purchased from an estate sale.
Good Stuff is still out there!

« Last post by Terry on July 15, 2023, 08:36:09 PM »The first recent additions post was on May 5th 2020. That's the black 33 with reversed letter shown with this new black 33.
I've bought at least six 33 locos in the 3 years since May 2020. Now I have thirty-three different variations.
I offered Mark Boyd an in depth article about them, but he says the TCA members aren't interested. I'm going to write a book about the 33 locos. I have all but 3 known variations - dark blue, 1910 round cab, and red no cream stripes. I know people with the blue and red locos, but not with the 1910 round cab. I'll start on the book next year.

The first post under "Recent Additions" was yours and also a Black reverse lettered 33! So you have 33, 33'S?
