I just got home from work and the mailman had already delivered mail.
Both of my "things" are here, but I have to sign for them, so the mailman left a letter. Now I have to wait until tomorrow morning and pick them up at the post office. 
I don't think I can wait that long.  |
Sounds like your appetite is well whetted.
Have you remembered to add water to the trough of the Marklin grindstone?
Run it slowly and wet your patience, inasmuch there's nothing else to do, ha ha!
Tomorrow morning... Nicko will have spend the slowest night of recent memory.
But man o man, what great new additions to the collection! Congrats!

Reid, I haven't shown too many people my things yet (only 4), but I called the post office and the mailman is back. I'll be picking my 2 engines up now.  |

Wow, Nick, a riveted #25, and a horse magnet #10 both on the same day is just sheer over indulgence
A lovely pair of engines you have there.

Nick, you are living right...congrats on now owning two great old Jensens. Nice way to start the weekend for sure. I see the seller tossed in a few genuine Jensen decals, those are few and far between themselves.
Enjoy your engines, I'm SURE we'll get more reports, pics and videos.
