This Seaboard boxcar #19555 was in the used equipment bin. Its in great shape except for a loose coupler which I can easily fix. Metal wheels and Kadee's. Check. For $10 less my holiday discount it was half price. Can't beat that!
This war time two bay hopper lettered for the Southern #104500 is perfect for my coal hauling needs. Both the mill and the railroad will need coal. This has the wood sections replaced with steel, so it may be just a little too new for the line, but what the heck. Most people won't know or care. This car is made by Walther's under the Proto 2000 series.
I also bought a Walther's Code 83 #5 left hand turnout. This will be used for aligning the trackage in a few weeks. Then I'll get the other turnouts that I need. Funds are getting tight on the hobby budget and the Foreman was giving me some grief.

Now I'm off to clean up the basement. The dust has gotten out of hand and I need a place to work on the foam.
