Post #1- New Cars

Yesterday I received 3 cars as birthday presents. One is a Maine Central Flatcar with a crated and strapped down load. Another is an Accurail 36FT. Panel-Sided Hopper for the New Haven Old Colony Division. This is an exclusive club car availible from the Old Colony Model Railroad Club. You can find their website here: http://oldcolonymodelrailroad.tripod.com/index.html . Finally, the last car was bought at a train show. It is a used Bev Bel passenger car for the Boston & Maine. I also received a 10-pack of Kadee No. 5 couplers, which I will eventually use to replace the horn-hook couplers on some of my older cars.

                                    The MEC Flatcar with load, road number 7504.

                            Exclusive Old Colony Model RR Club Hopper, with reporting mark      "OCMRRC" and road number 770768.

  It's blurry, but here it is: the Boston & Maine Passenger Car No. 4625.
