A few snapshots of an US Army Geep at Ft. Stewart Ga.

It's a geep alright, but what kind, I do not know.

That's neat. Good to see the military using the railroads. I live near Ft Rucker in Alabama. I don't think they have their own locomotives, but they do receive shipments by rail from the Wiregrass Central.

Thanks Rich, I didn’t know what it was.

On my way through Savannah, I stopped in at a great hobby shop called “Bull Street Station".
Super place for all scales. It’s one of those shops where you will spend hours fishing through all the boxes of stuff piled high. Loco’s, rolling stock, and detail parts galore. Both new and consignment.

It’s a must stop if passing through, I rate it 5 stars!
And like the governator, I will be back.
I picked-up a 5 car set of Con-Cor corrugated
Streamline cars in Southern road, plus 3 more undec’s, (two sleepers and a coach). All with adjustable MT trucks and couplers.

That sounds like a great shop. Not to many of those kind of shops around anymore.

My nest challenge is to find RTR freight rolling stock, boxcars, covered hoppers to go with the 44 ton, 70 ton and VO-1000 locos I have accumulated. I guess the locos are 1940s 1950s era.

Great Pictures. Sure is nice to see the military running trains.
