Those are Hallmark ornaments, just a few of many.
Diecast, they offer different ones every year.
That G scale is a Bachmann set, I do have a tanker now. A classic.
One year I might repaint it into a Christmas tanker.
But I like it now. It is a D&H with the moose on it. Green, slightly weathered.

Once again I have to figure out how to post a picture
Read thru Terry's link, I don't need to resize, what I need is a way to actually just post a picture.
I am used to doing it another way.
I did it yesterday somehow, I will add when I can.

Yes I see the wheels off.

LOL after I posted I see pictures  ha ha ha OH well, somehow they took.

Good to see a few additions. I was hoping there would be more posts on this thread.
But now we are looking forward to spring and summer.

I had big hopes of posting a Christmas layout. Even put the tree up thinking my track would show up. But with the CV-19 and all the holiday mailing my track got lost somewhere in Indiana. Took it 9 days to go from Garett Indiana to Indianapolis? A grand total of 126 miles??? Then sat there for another 2 weeks. When it finally arrived it was 027 track. The guy selling on EBay didn’t have much toy train knowledge. He said O & o27 with work together. Track didn’t show up until January. Then it was wrong. His auction said it was O Gauge. I returned it.

I thought I’d get some O gauge track real soon so I can be ready for Christmas in 2021 If I make it that long.  I want to use Lionel tube track which is getting hard to find. The 30 inch is almost impossible to find. So I’m looking at used track I can clean with white vinegar. These are scary times to be old? But I’m tough so I’ll still be here.

You should be able to find O-gauge used track relatively easy. I had several lots recently but sold them. If the ebay seller is unsure, try to enlarge photos to make sure the track has the larger ties. We all hope that USPS will be more prepared for "doing their job" in 2021.

If you're willing to wait, you can get track cheap on Craigslist and Offerup.

I think I'm good now. What you sent is very nice. I have used all the 13 sections. They will be used next Christmas if I'm still here and kicking. I've been thinking I may want some 042 from you?
