I had several Inquiries overnight asking how much the intermountain hopper I posted was going up on eBay for and the answer is $95 plus shipping. Two other cars will be up for sale as well starting at $55 per car:

The best finds of all are these original Walther's DC locomotives. These were left to me by a dear friend I worked with at the original Caboose Hobbies who passed away in December 2020. There are two of the same type locomotives with different road numbers of course, purchased by my friend way back when, as you can tell by the price. Both were Milwaukee Road units, although this one shown I stripped the paint, repainted and weathered this for Penn Central and numbered as an ex PRR unit I used to see running around part of Cincinnati. These were based out of McCullough yard in Cincinnati, but I couldn't find a decal for McCullough so applied Sharonville for Sharon yard in Cincinnati, at least to show these were based in the area. I'm going to finally paint the handrails and install them and someday hopefully have a DCC decoder installed. These are THE heaviest suckers I've ever seen!

"New" old finds! Going through a storage bin while moving between storage units I came across several Athearn ready to roll cars I had forgotten about, and one intermountain hopper I had thoroughly weathered some years ago. Two of the ready to roll cars I can use with some touching up, a Reading 50' ft boxcar and a PC 50' ft boxcar. I'll touch these up and post photos soon, in between these weathering projects. Here however is the Intermountain hopper that will go on eBay:

Accurail car has arrived with a dirty roof applied plus a brown wash. Have changed out the couplers and wheels, plus painted the wheels and trucks. I'll dirty up the car ends a bit and apply ACI plates and this one will be ready to enter service as it's still a fairly newer car for my era:
