OMG, its been a while since I posted anything here. Have been posting on the OGR forum, but forgot about here!So Anyway, a lot has happened.

1. Atlas 3 rail bettendorf and rollerbearing trucks just arrived. 2 rail will be here soon.

2. Atlas engine production have become very limited. Preorders are available for the GP-7's and RSD-15's, but that's it.Due to this, we have started handling a lot more MTH and Lionel Engines. Mostly diesels, as thats what I know, but also some steam engines...I try to limit it to ones that sell for 899. or less. We also have a decent supply of MTH 2 rail steam engines.New Diesels now in stock..Lionel..GP-7's, SW's, RS-11's, SD-70ACe'sMTH..GE 44tonners, SW-1's, SW 7/9's, SD-70's, AS616's.There are also quite a few 2005-2015 vintage diesels here. Putting them up on the web as time permits...

3. We are stocking (and have in stock) the Lionel "LionScale" cars, which are the former weaver cars. We sell them individually (not everyone need 6 of something) and most of them we also have available with the 3 rail plastic Weaver trucks, at a reduced price. Also have a very limited # of the Lionel 2 rail conversion kits, and hope to be able to sell them with Weaver 2 rail trucks on them. I have a good supply of Weaver 3 rail diecast trucks...need to see if I can change some of them to 2 rail easily.

4. Have some of the Lionel full scale highly detailed cars in stock now. 50' gonds and flats, 65' gonds, the new piggyback cars, the former Weaver B60's and RPO's, the new 2 bay hopper cars, the pup trailers. Have about 100 older (2005-2015) Lionel high detail cars here that need to be put up on the web still.

5. Have gotten a lot of our MTH premier freight cars up on the web, but still a lot to go. Also stocking some of the new MTH freight cars. The 60' Tropicana reefers just got here.

6. Atlas...new stuff is up for pre-order, including the Comet passenger cars (1st run in a long time) and the articulated auto carriers. I cant for the life of me remember whats come in recently, but obviously we have everything new from Atlas.7. Golden Gate Depot....Latest run of Observation cars, Diners, RPO's and baggage cars are here. Still waiting for some folks to pay for their pre-orders...but the dust has kind of settled, and will be putting more up on the web soon.That's it for now. Thanks.....beth
