    So I've nearly accomplished what i was going to do

    I've not been active since friday. so I just thought I'd share some news. the biggest one is that I'm actually really close to finishing collecting the hot wheels world race cars (only got three more). I never thought I'd ever get all the cars as an adult that I couldn't when I was a kid. (though I still am mixed about the zed 36 sling shot I would like to buy it but not at the price they're

    some more stuff has come out of csx

    there's been some more motive power that's come out from csx.

    last week they introduced their first hydrogen powered diesel locomotive no. 2100 a rebuilt from a gp38-2. this was done by collaboration with cpkc. it's pretty nice (i'm not not much into the hydrogen units but this one is pretty good).

Another sharing post i got · 3:42pm April 18th

This is yet another one of those posts where I was going to share.

now first I wanted to say that I've been enjoying the new job I've had for almost a week. (been really happy with where I've been).

and when I got home I founded out lionel has shared some news of new products that they're doing. they've shared that they've acquired new tooling. the new tooling in question is for the et44ac gevo's. (I was pretty stoked when they announced they're doing the tier 4 gevo's). of course I'm wondering if they got the tooling for the tier 4 units I'm wondering if that might mean if they'll do the cn units again. (since they did them 2 years ago but as es44ac's but now that they have the tooling for the et44ac's I hope that means they'll do them again). so I'm happy they got a new tooling for a model.

and other news I've still been in the hunt for the world race cars. (I've now got only 15 of the cars to go than I'll have them all). of course the one I'm not sure of getting is the zed 36 sling shot (there's sellers selling the rare car but over 1,000 dollars by itself so I don't think I'll spend the money one just one car). the 35 cars are the most important. (still trying to think if I'll go after the acceleracers ones but they're pretty high priced one of them was sold for 599 dollars). so I'll keep thinking on that.

and one thing I realized I forgot to mention is that hallmarks dream book came out. and the ornaments they're offering for this year is solid. I'll share what they are in a different post (I gotta pick which ones I may buy for this year).

u just thought I'd give an update on how my new job has been going. and with other stuff I found news about and an update on finding the cars I always thought of owning.

thanks for reading and I'll talk to you guys next time.
