During our lock-down, my Manager of Domestic Tranquility suggested that I wanted to get rid of the duplicate books that I have been accumulating over the last few decades. (My response was, “Yes dear.”)

Toward that end, we have developed an Excel list of 200+ railroad books for sale which cover a wide range of subjects including many about logging and logging locomotives.

Should you be interested in taking a look at my book list, please contact me at: gearedloco@hotmail.com and I will send the list and a cover letter explaining the offering in more detail.

Thanks

Ray Bourne contacted me at the TNW Train Show over the weekend and said he has some equipment he’d like to sell. He’s asking $100 for 24 Tortoise machines and half-price for a $700 NCE wireless DCC system.

If interested, contact Ray directly at ray16twyla@Comcast.net or 253-656-0560.

I’m in the final stages of getting an article published in a major model RR publication. However, the editor has asked if I could get pictures of the subject (the RDC “Camera Car” I assembled for the 4D HO Modular Group) on a sceniced layout.

Is there anyone with a sceniced layout on which I could take some pictures in the next week or so? While the article won’t be published for a couple of months, the layout is coming due. I’m in Sammamish, WA, so obviously the East Side is most convenient for me, but I’ll be down at the Washington State History Museum model train show in Tacoma on the 26^th and 31^st, and am willing to drive a reasonable distance to get the shots I need.

Thanks. I can be contacted at bpickeri@gmail.com.

NMRA members Steve Cox and Mike Stepner will again be helping a lady in Tacoma sell off her father’s trains on Saturday, September 10^th. We didn’t provide enough notice on the previous sale and attendance was limited.

The items are mostly HO scale with a small bit of N scale. The items include multiple used turnouts, DCC decoders and equipment, locos, and rolling stock. The rolling stock ranges from Tyco to Athearn Blue Box. The locos include Life-Like Proto 2000 (P2K), some with DCC installed. The DCC equipment includes DCC Specialties PSX-2 and PSX-4s, a couple of NCE cabs and a base station.
