I went to the Deland train show today with some fellow Vero Beach Model Railroaders and picked up these 4 K-Line vehicles. The FEC Ford F150 has found a home next to the gateman's shack. It's really too modern but I couldn't pass it up since I live in Florida. We also stopped at Roundhouse South in Port Orange. It's a fabulous train store with lots of O gauge at reasonable prices. While there I bought these two intermodal cars to go with my TOFC cars and the only other intermodal double stack I had. I can now run a respectable modern train pulled by my FEC GP-38. It was a fun and productive day and I will be visiting Roundhouse South again. It's not all that close but it's a lot of fun to visit a well stocked O gauge store. Nice purchases Joe!! Love the autos.Gary.

Nice stuff, Adam. The boxcars look great. The VW buses are cool too. I owned a 72 bus when I was younger. No body makes a 72 in O scale...
Joe, the well cars are sharp. In O gauge, they are huge!

In what will likely be my last purchase until Amherst in January (need to save my lunch money change and allowance) I took advantage of Trainworld’s sale and picked up some nice Bachman Williams items. Click the link to watch my new Boston and Maine F3 A-A pulling a (mismatched but I don’t care) set of NP Madison cars. The price was right and these were all designed to handle my O31 curves so they were perfect. arypinski.smugmug.com/Choochoo/i-gbGzFHcThe engine runs strong and seems to be as reliable as I would expect. The bell and horn could be a bit louder but that’s a minor nitpick for me.

I picked this Seaboard System boxcar from Menards. I'm still not thrilled with their trucks, but it rolls good.

That is a beautiful boxcar, Denny. I agree with you about not being thrilled with Menards trucks, but considering that at $19.99 each Menards boxcars are less than half the price of a new Railking boxcar so they are a very good value for the money. Besides, you can sometimes get them with the 11% rebate or, even better, if you order online and pickup your order in the store you can get a freebie like a lighted vehicle, a box truck or some other goodie thrown in, all for $19.99. At that price I can live with the trucks since, as you said, they roll good.

On Fastrack 036 curves some of the wheels makes a fingernail on chalkboard like sound so I only run them on the club layout. The ones that don't I run on my layout.
