Dropped by Ivan's shop today to see if I could get stairs for the building and found what I was looking for so now will work out were to put them.
While I was there I lay-by a HO second hand USA Diesel loco it's a SANTA FE one with the Red Warbonnet and Silver body it's also a newer Diesel. Have always like the Santa Fe Warbonnet colour scheme.
While sitting the talking to Ivan a bloke walked in and was talking to Ivan and he asked about the Santa Fe, Ivan said that he just missed out on it as I lay-by 15 min's early, Have been looking at it for six months now.

Pick up some 1950 Chevrolet 3100 pickup trucks at Ivan's this afternoon, Got five different colours there was six but did not have enough money for six.
There is two spare tyres on the truck one on the side and one under the bed.
