    I painted the stop lights red, the headlights silver, running lights and turn signals orange, and bumpers silver or left them black depending on the bus.

    Thanks GGN. I thought about the bumpers but not the turn signals and running lights.

    I would use the busses stopped at country stores and dinners on the layout. No big terminals.

    Some things off that auction site:

    2 Trainworx 53’ trailers, an Atlas MP15 in GATX blue, NS 1111 (a Fox Valley SD70ACE) and then an interesting dilemma with the other two Fox Valley heritage Aces.

    The Penn Central was just the shell. The S& A was complete, minus one side’s radiator. Was aware of the problem when I bought it. So I can cobble together one of the two heritage units for a complete engine, but not both. I’m leaning towards completing the PC because PC did extend to Chicago and because I’ve got the Fox Valley Conrail GEVO and that would be a fun consist- PC, CR, and an NS all together (I’ve got another one of NKP, N&W, and NS already in honor of my late maternal grandfather who worked for all three in Fostoria, OH IIRC).

    Three new to me Aurora Postage Stamp cars, 2 depressed center flats and one of those odd cars to carry some sort of chemical container boxes.

    Oh, and I got this in the mail! Probably can't count it as a purchase unless you let me count being a grumpy ole codger as payment :D And yes, I'm already putting it to good use
