    That flashing light on the UP was standard safety equipment back in the 1970s. In the 90+ era, once they started operating remote control yard locomotives, they reimplemented that flashing light. But the regular locomotives in the 70s, all had those strobe lights for crossing safety, except SP that had the gyralights.

    Thats crazy that these were just tossed in a dumpster, they're worth their weight in gold as parts! Also, and I think I mentioned this before, but Athearn Ready to Roll geared axles and replacement gears will work in Blue Box and most Proto locomotives (the only exception I've found with the latter is the Proto 1000 Erie Built locomotives, which use gears that are off center and thus Athearn and even other Life-Like/Walthers parts will not work in them).

    Years ago, a man no one had seen before bought a table at our Club's yearly train show and open house. He brought in two-to-three large boxes of trains--mostly, HO, some N. For the most part, quality stuff--Athearn, Proto 2000, Stewart, Bowser, Atlas-Kato, Micro-Trains. Many of the train or kit boxes had old price stickers; the dealer's opening ask was half of that price, which, time of our show, was out of date by a few years. In other words, EXCELLENT prices. He sold out, cleared his table during our show, and, deducting the cost of the table, made about $500.00.
    Story was, he was out walking his dog, the night before trash pickup day. His dog went to do as dogs will on the side of a trash can, which had no lid. The trash can was full of model trains, in their original boxes. He went home, got his car, came back to that can, looked both ways, then loaded up the trains. He was not a modeler, but he'd seen flyers for our Club's show. The can next to the first one had a few more trains. He figured someone had died, and his survivors had to clear out the house, to sell it. Our one-time dealer (never saw him, or his prices, again) was quite pleased, and said the first thing he would do with his profits was buy his dog the biggest steak he could find.
    So, you gotta love candy, cat treats, and trains, from the trash! And, the next time someone talks about "garbage trains"--say: HELL, YEAH!!" The price is DEFINITELY right.

      Not Harrison but built more than a few layouts in my 62 years. That pink or blue extruded foamboard insulation always works for me. Pretty much stack it up randomly cut sizes larger on bottom smaller to the top then kind of smooth the layers by carving it smoother. I was fond of drywall mud as a coverage material for the foam board terraces. The grass/ landscape is put out by different companies but most used is Woodland Scenics has various dirts,turf etc

    By the way, while I don't know about other railroads, BNSF denotes loco type. There'll be some fine print on the yellow stripe below the cab.

    Boy Howdy Harrison, not sure about timing but funny as heck video. P. Waco is up in Oregon (should be back now) ☆ and Tom is in the hospital, (can't say more, privacy you know) but this should brighten his day. Never sure which box with the Waco, (I get em too) but I hope the ladies enjoyed the notoriety! Cheers

    When SMT turned it over, the blue & white Fleischmann Baldwin switcher body shell looked like it had a molded insert for a screw inside, at the top. I wonder if that is for a screw that holds a weight?

      I think you're right. Also does this locomotive appear custom painted to you? I thought it looked like a factory paint job but others have said they never made one in this colour scheme before.

      @@SMTMainline - My guess is the color scheme was created by a modeler for a free-lanced railway. Then again, since it is a switcher, it might be the actual color scheme of an industrial short line - like a coal-fired power plant or a manufacturing plant.
