Injecting my submission today is an American Flyer HO Tie ejector car, fresh from Ebay purchase this week. Been wanting one, but they have been priced high at train shows and Ebay until this one. Has a bit of rust on the metal arm underneath, but otherwise clean and unbroken.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

My COTW is yet another tyco rework. It was a new haven box in its former life, now the "modern" pacific electric has its first piece of revenue rolling stock
just me Ray... and just because I have Tyco doesn't mean I am not a model railroader

Just spotted this tonight. I like this slot car and will have to have one soon! I have a real 1979 Smokey & The Bandit Trans Am. September of 2014 will mark my 30th year of owning this car. Doesn't seem possible.

That's cool, Eric! Your Trans Am is the 79-81 model like my real one. It's amazing how popular those cars were and are. Everyone loved my car. Young, old, and everyone in between!

It's a cool little ride. I've honestly never seen any of the Smokey and the Bandit films. I'll have to add that to my list. At the moment I'm trying to work my way through the old Dukes of Hazzard tv show. Yeeeeeeehaaaaawwwww!

Classic Tyco layout. Love the sawdust grass. Would hope to see more photos of your layout. Nice work. The absence of "street" gives a really distinct flavor, loving it.

Love your work. The autumn foliage is great. Enjoy the caboose. What I love about Tyco is that so often less is more.

The original Smokey movie is a good one! The others are just OK or at least that's my opinion, I could be wrong...

Ben, you are very welcome ! I knew you would enjoy it. It makes me very glad to see . I really like your realistic load. I will not think that anything else should ever be hauled by that car again. And the location for the photo shot is perfect. Who would have ever thought of taking the photo right there. Opps ! You had a little of the load spill out. Is that stuff environmentally safe? You will have to get a pay loader in to reload that spilled merchandise. Unless a puppy comes along and munches it up.
All in all Ben, I like the photo a lot ! Keep up the good work !

I think this may be one subject not to photograph on the dumpster cam. Many owners of dogs and/or garbage cans strive mightily to disassociate the two.
