NEWS: Union Pacific announced via Train Magazine that they plan to run their 'Big Boy's Steam Engine from coast-to-coast to celebrate America's 250th Birthday. The plan will be worked out with Norfolk Southern, the company that Union Pacific seems to absorb over the next few years, meaning that steam power could return to the Horseshoe Curve and Altoona as soon as next year.

I am sure there are others here aware of this but I wasn't. Imagine finding 50 steam locomotives in a barn Barn find

I got this vintage HO structure and I'm trying to figure out who made it:

   

   

It's plastic with an opening door. I've already figured out it's not the Revell/Heljan crew shanty. 

Anyone know?

found this in the junk box an old Bachmann and after better trucks and couplers a good wash added window glass a new stove pipe and a touch of red on the marker made a good-looking cab.

tried to sell something on the bay but had to cancel sale because eBay no longer supports pay pal as a payment option, they want my bank account number or debit card on a site that has been hacked into more than once, so it looks like good by eBay.

I have a blue box Athearn gp 30 35  38 or 40 that was gave to me that has an odd noise when running in one direction only you can barely  hear it without the shell put the shell  on and its louder , i think that the shell is just acting as a amplifier checked gears and they seem fine wheels axles are tight in the gears. so, I'm at wits end anyone have any ideas?
