| 12-2 2:53:27 | rvn2001 | Nite, John. |
| 12-2 2:53:12 | soccrdad30 | Nite All! |
| 12-2 2:53:07 | soccrdad30 | guyz, time for me to go, very early day for me Thursday |
| 12-2 2:51:16 | rvn2001 | True. |
| 12-2 2:50:56 | DAZed | being stub type, I think those would be for the Nn3 types. (of which I think you are one) |
| 12-2 2:50:00 | rvn2001 | I've considered getting one just for its uniqueness. |
| 12-2 2:49:27 | DAZed | Thom, I do not! And, likely will not. |
| 12-2 2:48:57 | soccrdad30 | wow, very cool Thom |
| 12-2 2:48:33 | DAZed | maybe. The stuff i bought was all the latest runs of MTL stuff from the past couple of years...price hasn't really changed although they had gone up from MTL's perspective. |
| 12-2 2:48:20 | soccrdad30 | I think so Mike |
| 12-2 2:48:14 | rvn2001 | Do you have one of these, Doug? «link» |
| 12-2 2:48:12 | ejshelton | Probably Mike |
| 12-2 2:47:36 | GNFan | Is the MTL markup because of the "no longer made if/until Atlas picks up the ball, so MTL stuff is now 'rare' rationale? |
| 12-2 2:46:30 | DAZed | also, today I broke down and bought the AZL UP "Pink Ribbon" ES44. For obvious reasons. |
| 12-2 2:46:24 | soccrdad30 | it sounds like everything is going to Vietnam |
| 12-2 2:46:07 | soccrdad30 | I agree with you Doug |
| 12-2 2:45:35 | DAZed | thankfully I don't really need much more in the way of MTL items. Don't get me wrong I would buy more different schemes if Atlas reruns the boxcars but I'm not holding my breath on that |
| 12-2 2:44:25 | soccrdad30 | yeah, MTL cars and locos really went up, especially their train sets |
| 12-2 2:44:17 | DAZed | that will be it unless an unsual deal (lot) comes along. I have enough now that I could probably build the layout I'm planning or at least very close to it. |
| 12-2 2:42:12 | DAZed | which granted still wasn't great |
| 12-2 2:42:11 | rvn2001 | Good plan, Doug. |
| 12-2 2:42:10 | soccrdad30 | Sunday or Monday? there was some car auctions real cheap from Medford but out of my area. They were military flats with buildings |
| 12-2 2:41:58 | DAZed | the prices have really gone up and the place I bought the MTL cars from had them for about as good of a price as I've seen |
| 12-2 2:41:28 | DAZed | when I catch them on sale, etc |
| 12-2 2:41:10 | DAZed | I have been buying small batches of turnouts here and there, just so I have a bit of stock for when/if I ever get a layout underway. |
| 12-2 2:39:30 | soccrdad30 | I do not own any Atlas track |
| 12-2 2:39:00 | DAZed | I also bought the second BN plugdoor boxcar from the recent run, and a TTX bulkhead flat. And a few Atlas turnouts for good measure |
| 12-2 2:38:53 | soccrdad30 | I have not seen much on ebay lately |
| 12-2 2:37:19 | DAZed |
 |
| 12-2 2:37:09 | DAZed | I thought you would be supportive of that |
| 12-2 2:36:43 | GNFan | Good move, Doug. |
| 12-2 2:36:14 | DAZed | Mike you'll be pleased to know that I bought the GN BSB boxcar. I thought with the GP30's hitting they might go poof |
| 12-2 2:35:29 | DAZed | I bought a few MTL cars over the weekend and the shipping was initially high but they dropped it way down after I did a "request to combine" |
| 12-2 2:32:57 | soccrdad30 | shipping on some of the MTL cars I was checking out were 25.00 |
| 12-2 2:31:20 | DAZed | Just not sure if I'm reading that right. |
| 12-2 2:31:15 | rvn2001 | You are correct, Mike You and Steve are the only people from the Great Northwest coming to the NTS that I know of. |
| 12-2 2:30:54 | DAZed | yeah, best I can tell shipping is about $45. Which is a hard no. |
| 12-2 2:28:42 | soccrdad30 | I have seen some auctions from Canada and shipping is very expensive |
| 12-2 2:27:27 | rvn2001 | That was before tarrifs, though. |
| 12-2 2:26:53 | rvn2001 | I have bought from him, Doug. All of the buildings on my T scale layout are from him. |
| 12-2 2:26:45 | soccrdad30 | I haven't. But then I have not considered cardstock kits |
| 12-2 2:26:37 | DAZed | was wondering if anyone has navigated that. |
| 12-2 2:26:21 | DAZed | I tried to buy a few thigs and got into a weird web of shipping and tarrif jargon that threw me for a loop |
| 12-2 2:25:45 | DAZed | Has anybody bought from this seller recently? «link» I've bought some things before from them and I feel like one of you might have turned me on to them. |
| 12-2 2:25:28 | GNFan | I don't know of any CZM folks coming to NTS except Steve E., and he'll be a vendor. |
| 12-2 2:24:48 | soccrdad30 | Thank you Mike, I appreciate your time |
| 12-2 2:24:08 | rvn2001 | It's a shame that it can't come all the way across the country to join us at the NTS. |
| 12-2 2:23:09 | GNFan | No promises, John, but I'll see what I can do. |
| 12-2 2:22:25 | soccrdad30 | Bullitt, enjoy that movie |
