Nice score, Ben. Not sure on the Eastwood Co, there's an Eastwood which makes auto body repair products. Might be the same one, don't know.

It WAS part of a set. It is mantua. I got the locomotive, an F unit, it's badly damaged. Guy had a spasm and into the wall it went.

Hi Ken. All you need to make that Napa Valley car a set in the Athearn custom painted Pa locomotives and passenger cars. They are out there somewhere.

Athearn actually made custom painted F7's. They went with the NV wine train as well.

I get it out, I'll get some pictures of it!
