Today's 1st COTW is by Cox, a fire-fightin' tanker car. Picked this up in the lot I got through Craigslist on Monday. My Cox collection is slowly growing, this one had a box with it.  I hope to one day post entire consists of Cox, Gilbert, Marx, Lionel, etc. in HO. Working on it!

I've been waiting for Ben's reply. I've been looking for this one for a while. Got it on eBay. I have some Woodland Scenics prisoners to add to it later.

Unfortunately, it WASN'T me, 'cause I was bidding on it, and got outbid at the last second. Oh well.

Hi Chris,
I wish I knew. It was listed yesterday morning on eBay, BIN for $25+ plus $10+ s/h. I could not pull the rigger fast enough. All I know is the weathering is fantastic and the listing said all metal construction.
