I wouldn't be Lioneling to you to say that I am happy to have found this HO Lionel car. A rotary launcher, I found it at my fav antique mall near Intercourse, PA, I think I paid $18 for it, usually sells much higher on Ebay. All the pieces look to be there. Not mint,but decent.
Will join the rest of my HO Lionel consist material to hopefully run one day.

That's a cool looking piece, Jerry!
Mine is an extra that came with an eBay auction. This is a Penn Line SF streamliner:

I do not have many tyco`s compared to some,and there's a good reason for that,1, there are only about 10 bits listed at any one time,and most are in crap condition,2, is that if I get them shipped from states it makes them to expensive,but every now and then I get a corker like this one ken

This is my COTW:
I think it is a Howell Day / Redball car, but I am not sure. I saw it posted yesterday for a BIN of $9.95 + $5 s/h so I pulled the trigger. Having never seen one before, I figured it was worth at least that.

Ben-
Roma Wines used to be an independent company, but still operates in Fresno, CA as a division of Schenley- one of the bigger names in liquors. My uncle used to get their product in his wholesale liquor distributorship in Mpls back in the 1950s.
Don't know if the multi-dome car is real, but the company is. Good catch!

So THAT'S what a 6-dome tank car is good for! Obviously not for sorting fuel, but wines.

frank,at swap meets I have no idea but ebay $50 is the highest I have seen and that was a mint unmade kit,but as we know you can put any price you like on something,buts its selling item that matters most, I have seen dealers whose high prices show up at each meet for months and sometimes years who do not sell it ken

hi Ben are you happy with it,as to me that's what matters most,values go up and down,more so on ebay,price guides are a total waste for values as they are out of date the day they are published,guides to me are only good for seeing what's the hardest to find,detail etc,this is only my opinion ken
