Another Train Show

So there was another train show last weekend, and of course I made more purchases.

This time it was passenger cars. Four Lima PRR heavyweights, bringing the 85 foot heavyweight consists to nine, an Erie heavyweight observation car, and four Con Cor 85 foot smoothsides. One of the smoothsides is already painted for the Erie and the other three soon will be.

Three of the cars was missing the weights on the bottoms so I put the request out on the Yahoo group to see if anyone had weights. Not only did I get weights, but a full set of ConCor smoothsides that have been stripped to nothing and a handful of others that will need to be stripped and painted.

I also won a set of four ConCor smoothsides painted for the Norfolk and Western to go along with the new J class (and the old J class for that matter). So my plan is to split the undecorated cars between the Erie and the N&W to make larger consists of both.

I am also having my Lackawanna Pacific repainted since I have no Lackawanna rolling stock, so between the passenger cars and that my painter will be busy for a while. Maybe that semi streamlined Pacific will finally get some running time after the repaint.

Pictures will be posted when available.
