For my COTW, I present a faux Tyco unit, this is a triple-domed tanker by Playart, they used the same mold Tyco did apparently. Anyway, nicely colored oil tanker, one day I will have my manufacturer sets fairly complete to take pics of.

These are my COTW:
They are various SPEEDY Live Poultry Cars - Mainline Models or Ambroid (a sample of the several I have tucked away in storage):
These were taken a few years ago. I have acquired a few since. Not sure of the count now.

My Car(s) Of The Week include the following:
A Train Miniature, Laconia (pre-1970's?), Athearn (I built back in 1982), and Mantua.
Each purchased for under $10.
KRAFT, being my last name, I seek to own more if you're willing to part with them. Tho' they not need to be just reefers.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

Thanks guys! I do have a soft spot for these cars. @ Ken: I did rent a storage space to shove everything in while I finish our 800sq ft remodel.
Great cars Frank!
If anyone cares, this seller (bhrodes1953) offers a very nice kit:

HO Wood and Metal Poultry Car Kit NIB
It comes unpainted but builds just like the Ambroid model. I have one too! The seller is also a very nice guy by the way..

Bit of a project I had. Bought this bachmann flat car at a show. It was a undec and started life looking like this.
Decided to decal it (Erie has cars VERY close to this so it was a good fit). And practice some more weathering. This was the result.
Fits nicely with my new Erie H600!

Looks like a Penn Line switcher on the flat. I like those, I have one that needs some work.

IT'S A TRAP!!!
Yea Jerry I pulled the Penn Line off my display shelf since it fit on the car so well. Funny part was it hasn't run for awhile so I figured it wouldn't want to go easily. I stuck it on the track and cranked the power, away she went! Bought it from a show, got it sorta cheap for a vintage engine like that. Seller said it ran, but tried to prove it and it didn't. Took it home and cleaned it up, its been doing great ever since. Body will get a repaint someday.
