I was actually wondering if part of it was at least a partial set. That Booster is from '53, the first time they offered them, it has the original nylon drivers and frame from when they were 2 wheel pickup---TWO WHEELS!! The thing must have been a beast to keep running. It may explain the solid zinc saddletanks, the little booger must weigh in at just over a pound...

Heres my customized Tyco maintence car. The body came from the parts box ( originally a searchlight car) and the smokestack is a leftover from a Athearn kit.

I picked up this Athearn box car on ebay. Sattlers Hooby shop is in Westmont, NJ not far from where I used to work before moving to Texas. I believe they are still in business.

These aren't my first Mehano 50' tankers and I hope not my last. More imposing than traditional 40' tankers but less unwieldy than 62' behemoths, they make long trains easy and longer still if you leave the Euro couplers in place! I'm switching them over to knuckle couplers because the gap annoys me. YMMV.
