Shaygetz, that is ONE cool car! I haven't seen that one before. Thanks for posting it. Mine is a more mundane car, a Marx BM boxcar. Found it at a 43 mile long yard sale in Virginia. Luckily only took me 7 miles to find it. 
My Marx HO collection is expanding, I'm finding more that I don't have lately. Not sure how many I'll collect eventually, but doesn't hurt to have 10-20-30 of rolling stock. Enough to change out as I want to.

I had a few of these laying around and they look great for my era.
I body mounted Kadee's and gave it a light weathering job and added some weight
along with reworking the Tyco trucks and it's now one of my best runners. I sorta left the shell tabs on the body as a joke since the car has had a few compliments.

You'd be surprised how hard it is to maneuver that thing without setting off the lights. I modified it somewhat to use onboard batteries and a flasher circuit that lights for 15 seconds, that way, no one could dodge a foul...

I'd be careful, Walt. He looks like a bit of a bandit.

Seller just took my "Best Offer":
Brass New Haven S-57 Flanger Box Car
It was the third time I sent him this $75 best offer this year. He has it listed for several months for a BIN of $99. It's a pretty good day!
