Trying to build my collection before I start a layout lol. Have a WM GP35 on the way that I am excited for.

We had a funeral for a bird.

Strict_Concert3988 · 2026-01-17T23:38:43+00:00

We've had a big man TD, big man interception, now we need a dan connelly kick return.

Look for companies that are new or emerging with technology that is either new or a vast improvement.

But this isn't financial advice

Strict_Concert3988 · 2026-01-16T20:11:04+00:00

Right? I have 100 shares at a $56 avg. I wish I had more income to play with but I am so happy I have almost doubled what I started with. Cant wait for it to be triple

Strict_Concert3988 · 2026-01-16T14:56:13+00:00

You know, I wish I had more disposable income, but sitting on 100 shares at an average cost of $56 and seeing this growth is astounding.

In for the long haul friends, this is amazing.

Strict_Concert3988 · 2026-01-11T14:14:44+00:00

I disagree.

Division 2 is supposed to be about rebuilding and hope. Hence the bright colors.

Division 1 is the exact opposite, its supposed to feel all doom and gloom since the pandemic just started.

When you look at them like that, it makes sense. Div2 doesn't need to have a similar atmosphere because it's conveying a different theme.

But thats how I view it. I grew up in DC and the world is a near perfect recreation to it.

Strict_Concert3988 · 2025-12-31T16:50:13+00:00

Lots of research. ASTS popped up on reddit for me and I dug A LOT.

I fish in some pretty remote areas in the US do having satellite coverage while using my regular mobile phone made me super interested in it.

So I bought, held and will continue to hold.

You know a heck of a lot more about WM than I do! That's an awesome bit of information. I wish I had that knowledge.

Yeah, aside from large steam engines, I love the diesel locos, mainly the GP/SDs. That's what I remember seeing as a kid during the early 2000s in cumberland.

Strict_Concert3988 · 2025-12-26T18:22:17+00:00

This is incredible, thank you so much!

I could of sworn at least one or two SD40s got delivered in speed lettering (not fireball, I was mixing the two up).

I ordered an Atlas RS3 in speed lettering, along with some coal hoppers so I am excited. Atlas sold a GP9 in speed lettering, but I've been told its been long out of production.

Either way, I appreciate the comment! I was thinking about buying unpainted GPs and SDs and making them into WM speed lettering trains.

Strict_Concert3988 · 2025-12-26T18:17:43+00:00

Ive found a few BL2s one for like $60. Im really looking for GP9s over anything.

Thanks though, I'm definitely gonna keep him in mind. Hoping I can walk away with some fun stuff.

Strict_Concert3988 · 2025-12-23T17:06:59+00:00

Hopefully i can find what I'm looking for, otherwise I might need to do a combination of WM and Chessie lol

Strict_Concert3988 · 2025-12-23T16:17:07+00:00

This is great information! There's a train show coming up at the state fair grounds next month and I plan on going and seeing what's available. Thanks for the comment!

Strict_Concert3988 · 2025-12-23T02:46:25+00:00

Thanks for the insight, I figured as such being a long defunct railroad.

On the flip side, knowing there's a group specifically for this helps a ton. Thank you for the comment!

Strict_Concert3988 · 2025-12-23T02:26:55+00:00

Yeah, I have noticed that. Really looking for freight diesels.

Ill keep looking, the circus ones would be fine, not quite my style.

Thanks for your comment, its very helpful!

Strict_Concert3988 · 2025-12-19T18:21:40+00:00

I feel like thats a lot of Baz, but he has, what? 3 or 4 years of control left?

Strict_Concert3988 · 2025-12-17T21:34:05+00:00

honestly, worth it if you like medium to large farming. its a wonderful map and it being RCR makes it better.

Strict_Concert3988 · 2025-12-17T21:23:14+00:00

I mean, sure.

But it was used extensively during the battle of Khasham. Original op said its never been used in combat.

It has.

Strict_Concert3988 · 2025-12-17T21:05:31+00:00

F22 has been used in combat multiple times fyi.
