 A lot of interesting cars in there. If it wasn't so pricey, it would be pretty good.

Well I do understand your thinking, but lately the bug for those billboard covered hoppers has bit me too. Not ALL of them mind you but there's some there that would find a home on my railroad!

The Domino Sugar car with intact logos is hard to find. (I wonder what the logo on the other side looks like...)
There are a couple here I "need" but I want them in better condition, plus I'm not willing to buy the other ten just to get them.
And I'm also looking for a Maxwell House.

 And as shown by what happened to Tyco and Lionel, cereal companies just shouldn't get their hands on model railroad companies.
