Seeing the Raven's box car that opened this tread reminded me that I have to find a box car for my boys in blue ( Go Dodgers!!!) For now, two purchases from Yesterday's GTE in Aneheim.
Been wanting these for a while.

Another auxilary tender I'm working on! I build these then sell them for $15 each! This one is an old Chattanooga Tyco PT tender. Bunker removed with a bench grinder so the entire tank is all equal on each side. Athearn dummy wheels replaced the old Tyco geared wheels so it'll roll better, just got some truck and coupler adjustments left before I'm done. Then gotta build a cover where the bunker used to be. Then as soon as my friend pays me it'll be sent off!
I stripped the old Worn PT so it's just a hollow shell now but I left it in so it'd still have some weight.
My COTW....a rebuilt Penn Line flat car...I made the coupler covers with horn hooks..an old broken Athearn brake stand and Roundhouse 70T frt trucks..dont know what I'll use this for but it ready if I need it. If I find the right trailer I'll put one on it. (brake stand not there yet) caboose 1

Your picture quality is bad. From what i can see you may have a odd car. The Lettering on it s for a Penn line, genreator and light car. Their is a trailer flat that comes with a generator and light on it you are missing. toptrain1
