Wasn't sure which one to pick this week, so I have four:
Heavy duty depressed center flat car w/ transformer load (all plastic)
Possibly AHM? US Military caboose (weathered somewhat poorly)
another wood & metal vinegar car:
All metal & wood flat car with metal ship propeller loads:

After repeatedly returning to one vendor at the Timonium, MD show, I made one last purchase, then saw this and picked it up off the table, and the guy said " you've bought plenty from us today, take it". A Lima Euro Pepsi tanker. Not bad....

I consider myself a TYCO or Mantua collector, even though I have received different maker’s freight cars in TYCO lots off eBay. Usually when I get them I give them to my 4 year old niece for her enjoyment. These are my first freight cars other than TYCO / Mantua I purposely paid for because I wanted them.
This one is messed up because the printed the image on there twice.

Glen I could be wrong. At 67 my vision isn't perfect. It would be nice if with the box car photo was a photo of the bottom of the car. I am certain that 3 or 4 people would have noticed what it says on the botton. I still haven't seen the bottom. it could be a Mantua-Tyco car. I still dont know. For me it is just a guess.

edit I went back to photos of both type box cars, and that is a mantua-tyco box car.

Even so, Frank, your work still inspires.
