Custom Tyco flatcar. Used Athearn trucks, a horn hook at one end and a Kadee #5 at the other. Various junk trucks and wheels from the 'yard were glued on. Makes for a heavier car.

IHC's Ann Arbor cars:
Been wanting these for a while because I like the paint scheme and logo, which is an interesting treatment for Tyco's tooling, but not at ebay+shipping prices. Found 'em new and cheap at yesterday's Louisville GTE.

I picked up this car at a show in Houston, Tx this weekend. I don't know who made it but I liked the looks of it.

** A Varney 36' tank car. GATX 6249, +8 " latex only "
* A Dow chenical in the original Black paint. You can see where the last owner added the 8 to change the number.

BevBel Company... Bev made a whole slew of these Evans cars decorated up in different themes, Puxatawny Phil, four or five Halloween cars, Circus cars (yeah, there's a set of what you have.) I believe they were numbered in series from 12000-12040... something like that.
They came in BevBel boxes, 'bout the size of a wooden four-chime whistle.
Sort of the same line as some of the simple Model Power boxes.
There is a thread in SOTW, COTW, and the Odds & Ends category.
As many know, BevBel also did special paint schemes for kit manufacturers.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.
"I love your catenary!"
Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

| Thanks, John...they are well done like Bev-Bel would do. I have no clue about J & J's Famous Baltimore Circus though. Being from there, I only remember Ringling's and Clyde Beatty's circuses...

My COTW is a Seaboard hopper, has a metal frame, kit type, maybe Bowser? Athearn? I don't know. Anyway, Seaboard was a local railroad to me in Richmond, VA so I have an interest in them.
