Tinker toys, Legos, Erector sets, Lincoln logs fun stuff way back when. I can remember Lite bright, ker' plunk, mouse trap, plastic army men, cowboys and Indians, hot wheels red line and match box 75 and king size(1:43 ish sized autos usually with figures included) and ho slot cars. The original Kenner Star wars figures.

Speaking of old stuff, got battery for ridding lawnmower(some assembly required) had to fill it with acid/electrolyte and then charge it but it needs a 6V charger so went to auto zone to get one but also picked up a car wash kit and a 2 pack of 1958 pickups 1:64 one Chevy and one GMC by M2 machines decorated for Auto Zone but neat addition to my oldies car collection. Also got the caboose body today for the DTI work caboose just need to find the ladder part should be easy to find.

As for the Dummy loco with coil coupler, Atlas O sells an operating car rails and controller buttons for their track system.
Gargraves also makes a section of track with uncoupler magnet and five rails with controller buttons.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Glued up the N scale hoppers I 3D printed up, nest step is to fill in any gaps(there are a few but minor) and then paint them up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That is about all for today.
