Hi catfordken,
That is one I have not seen before. So is this one. It is a Roco boxcar for GE. I don't know any history on this as my Wife picked up a box lot of trains for me at a garage sale for $2 and this is one of them.
Thanks for looking.

Some neat stuff this week! Mine's not quite as exciting, but it's one I've always liked.
The car that made Milwaukee famous. If anybody's into this sort of thing, the new Schlitz 1960's formula isn't bad at all. A bit pricey for a "cheap beer" but not bad.

My COTW is a trade to Microbusss, figured I'd get some mileage out of it while I still owned it. Heh heh! Found this at a train show in Timonium, MD this past weekend, MB wanted a 62 footer in SOO, so I lucked onto one.
Nice looking piece, but doesn't fit my criteria right now for ownership. Enjoy, Ben!

Stop by some time and I'll hook you up! This was my first and still a favorite. I've been enjoying it since long before it was "hip."
I'll stop posting now before I turn this into a beer argument thread.

These came in Thursdays mail so I threw'em on a flat and put 'em on here...
After reading Ben's last comment, I believe I am going to find him a "Hooked On Phonics" box car...

Luck, usually comes dressed in work clothes...
