It now has one bid. Not me, it's too much for me. Anyone here bidding?

I have an HO model that I bought at a swap meet. I have no idea who produced it. I cannot find any markings on the model to indicate the manufacturer. It came in a Walters X-29 40' steel boxcar box, but it's labeled for PRR. It's the orange & white color scheme but the car # is 540 which is tota...

An interesting map has shown up on Ebay. It's a blueprint map of a proposed connection of the B.A.&A. to Buffalo dated Nov 1st, 1901. The connections would be near Java Center. According to the description the wye was graded but nothing was ever completed. I don't remember reading about this but...

I'm not a stockholder but I bought 8 of them along with 2 of the Con-Cor versions I've managed to acquire. Somewhere out there is a group of 4 that I bought from BLW N Scale in NJ but were lost in delivery.

I've noticed that some of the loss of a second run is offset by the special events. There seem to be a few more this year than past years. I am disappointed that the visit by Viacose #6 isn't there. I had hoped they were a profitable event. Although I missed the last 2 years and this year wasn't lik...

Does anyone have, or know where might be found, recordings of the A&A's 112, 111, or 110 44-tonners? I'm looking for something suitable for programming a sound decoder so it would need stretches of engine sounds without people's voices or other sounds obscuring the engines. Also recordings of th...

Glad to hear the turnout was good. Another year I wanted to come back for this and plans fell through. Perhaps next year.

The Arcade & Attica website under "Events" has it listed as being on Father's Day weekend. June 18th and 19th. Scroll to the bottom of the page.

As a fluke, I was doing a search for "Arcade" on the WKBW web site and this link came up http://www.wkbw.com/programming/am-buffalo/video/Arcade--Attica-Railroad-99946134.html It's a short and not too terrible little segment from the Channel 7 morning show on the A&A. It's dated in Aug...

Those spots must be fairly new. They weren't there last time I was around in Oct 2008. I'm sure I would have noticed them.

Where exactly is Sixt Lumber? I don't believe I have ever seen it before. If you are in the area, can you take some pictures? I went to their website but didn't see the A&A siding, nor do I see it on Mapquest. It's on the other side of Cattaraugus Creek in Erie county. Follow North St west out ...

And pictures!!!!

Apparently they are storing a lot of the locomotive doubles and extras at the WNYP Olean, NY yard while most of the movie shooting is being done in PA.
