My COTW may satisfy your hunger for more, or just nibble at it. At any rate, I thought this a wonderful billboard to add to my candy train as well.

Ohhh I know it!
Sadly Pacific Mountain Trains from Canada made them in casted resin kits a few years ago, and I missed out!  Now, I have to find either one of those, OR a brass one, to go with my B&O EM-1's.......(Last B&O Wagon Top Caboose I seen, went for $275! ) I just can't justify that!

This is my COTW. I was looking around the train shop here in Virginia when I noticed this in the TYCO section. It was $8 and I remember thinking, "Somone must have put this car in the wrong box, it's not a TYCO". Since I have been collecting the TYCO brown box era trains, I thought I knew all of them. I got it anyways and when I got home I looked it up in Tony L's site (Going in circlez). Now I realize there are many more out tyco's out there. Question, how hard is this to find because I want to use it in a trade for some other TYCO's on my list? I also picked up the Sohio tanker that had been eludeing me (YAY).

One of my "Cars of the week" would be:
Custom painted MDC Roundhouse Wagon Top Box Car in B&O.....
And then another one to add to it would be:
This is a Walthers 4 truck depress center flat car, the older kit NOT the newest 81 footer! Loaded with a interior power plant generator armature, with crated parts, all added by me with added chains full detail, and the trucks on this car, are sprung Kadee 100 ton jobs to handle the actual weight of the load!
Believe it or not, it actually runs WELL! I'm working on a short train loaded with items such as this for a power plant rebuild......New Armature, and old one, (these pictures are of the old one!) and then other cars with the new one, and new parts and such going back to the power plant and all......makes for an interesting train to say the least!
