My car of the week is a tribute to my car, a Shelby GT 500. I made the decals on MS Word and used an old Tyco 50 foot box car.

Two heavy-duty flat cars. I'm not sure who made the first one, but the second is from Bachmann.

Hi Guys, thanks for the compliments on the Ford boxcar. Justin, It's a 2007. I'd love to have a '67 but the prices are sky high.

* Here is a Tyco -Mantua B&O Gondola with a sand load. One like this was made for Penn-Line. I don't know the B&O number on it.
* This above is not the first style of lettering used on the B&O gondola mantua made.
below is the type used on their early all metal gondolas, and the first plastic bodied gondolas .

Here's a twin piece to my LotW, a Con-Cor Via streamliner. I may try to paint the frame of the dome, and the couplers are going to be upgraded.

Going north with my post, I found this nice Tyco caboose at the Shenendoah Train show this past Sunday. I know they are hard to find. I have the Canadiana Boxcar, now I just need to find the matching engine.

If I wouldn't know better, I'd swear, Frank was tryin' to get my attention with all the B&O stuff posted!
I must say tho, NICE TYCO-Mantua Gondola cars! I never knew there were 2 different models of the same road made! I'll be looking for both of them....(I think I may have one of them!)
And Ben, NICE dollar box car! I must have 3 or 4 of them.....I plan however, to change one digit on all of them but one of the road numbers to keep them consecutively numbered.
