Hello everyone! Yes I am new and I can’t think of a better way to meet ppl here at this forum than this topic. I have done this before in another forum (Plumeria forum) and it worked well. It was an opportunity for new and old members just to drop in and chat a bit. Start off with your day concerning Model RailRoad and so on, help on a topic, latest news and so on. So on that note… I’ll just say… HELLO! and sit a spell and tell us how your day is planned on your layout or what ever. And / or if you’re new… Drop in and say Hello.
I myself went to the Train Show yesterday (Firday) in Anaheim California. It was my first time, so I went like a little boy in a candy store… by myself, the only way to really stay as long as you want. … lol. There were nice displays, and some nice deals. You had to be ready for the deals, and after you have found out the prices… ask if there is a cash discount … lol… you might be surprised. Also, then, ask how much if you buy more than one car, and group together five cars… and then ask how much. I picked up some N scale Army flatcars and other army stuff, that was actually very cheap. The best deal was an 11 car box of the California Zephyr for $155. Other sellers were selling it for $175-189. The best idea … I kinda liked was some prehistoric moster… like T Rex… or Godzilla… with a passenger car in his mouth. Imagine the detail you could do with passengers failing out the cars… oh it caught my eye and I laughed.
