Not sure if this'll blow you away or not, but I haven't seen this car before, and thought it'd make a great addition to a gasoline tanker consist.   While Billboards aren't usually my thing, this one was unusual enough I had to have it.

Did Jimmy Walker get residuals for that boxcar? (I hope those are cat paws and not the feet of some giant tarantula.  )
Cool caboose, Ken. That's Train Miniature? I haven't seen that one before.

I bought these today at the LHS. They're 60's AHM Roco fishbelly flatcars with MiniTank loads. Not cheap... $20 a piece. They were going fast at that price, tho. He started with about 15 and only had 3 left.

Brian, you're right. The LHS owner showed me the Walthers catalog where those Roco military vehicles -- now produced by Herpa -- are selling for $21 a piece!
Mike, remind me never to get in an argument with you.

Found this one at my local Goodwill outlet the other day, along with a Chattanooga tender. Any history on her?
Also, how do I go about embedding html so I can embed a photo in my post, instead of posting a link?

I've got 2 of the US Military Cannon cars! I also have the locomotive, caboose, and what looks like a camo, boom tender, and then a flat car!
As for the Telegraph caboose, I picked one up at a train show for $3.00, and the other I gave a whoopin $5.00 for it at a yard sale! I know, I know guys, I'ma turd!
