Since I retired from the Navy in 2007 I guess I had to do this, a US Navy flat car w/load and a US Navy operational hopper. 
The cool thing about the hopper is the little graffiti dude at the bottom:

I have no graffiti car, but, got this at a steal for $16 after Shipping and Handling! I almost hesitated to click the buy-it-now button!

This is my COTW:
They are a pair of custom short wood passenger cars (kitbash/scratchbuilt):
They were ~$8 each. Both are equipped with Central Valley Fox (I think that's the name) trucks. The trucks alone are worth more than double what I paid for the cars. I'll probably swap them for Archbar trucks and sell the CVs making the cars themselves free.

Those are cool, Sean... they're almost folk art. You're right, those are Fox pressed steel trucks, much like the ones on the Casey Jones tender.
I find Bitter Creek Models site is a good reference: http://www.bittercreekmodels.com/page4.html
