Finally got a Maxwell House. Part of a 3 car NIB Hyvee promotional set. Had to
indenture my children to farm labor to pay for it.

I got this cool caboose at a show in PA today. It's labeled "Tyco" on the bottom and looks like a factory paint job (i.e. printed, not decals). I couldn't pass it up. Any Ideas where it came from?

The first Steamtown boxcar is from last week's Allentown, PA show (First Frost). The frame says Mantua!
I got the silver Steamtown Boxcar at another show. It was in a box, like a new car. I figured it for like a Bev Bel paint job. It looks to be printed, not a decal. But if you look close you can see what they did was take a regular car off the shelf, spray a thick coat of silver paint on it and then print it. You can see the shadow of the old paint job. I'd guess it was made for Steamtown to sell as a souvenir?

My favorite bev. I prefer the diet version, thought my
kids would hate it, but they guzzle my supply, too.
