I've got atleast one of the "Auto-Loaders" AND I seem to think, I had or have one of those Railbox cars.....(The Railbox car, is in question tho.......I can't remember if I kept it, or sold it......)
I'll have to look! I know I got the Auto-Loader, it sets right now, out in the open in the shop, as I found it about a week or so ago at a local yard sale for 50 cents!

| Could be interesting to get after that with a paint brush and detail some of that stuff out. I'll bet you could make it look pretty real. Looks like it will be a fun car to mess with . . . or look at and fantasize about what to do. That's my game half the time.

This is my car of the week. I choose it because if you look to the right side of the door it has it as the anamated brakeman, but as you can see from the top it's not.

* Somebody switched cars. It happens. I would say the box is worth as much as the car.

I am addicted to those Auto Loaders, I think I have 10 or 12 of them. I don't want to offend the Tyco purists, but I do some slight modifications - painting, decals, kadees and metal wheels. Those camaros and AMX's are very desireable!

JNXT,
I have to admit, that I too have different TYCO cars, I'm addicted too......One being the 40 ft, flat cars loaded with the bulldozers, OR the concrete pipe sections.
I have ALOT of these cars.....I have them painted, in multiple ways under the B&O, Western Maryland, and working on Chessie System as well......I'm also working on making a "hood" to cover the whole car, for coil usage! 
Heres the Chessie version, I came up with:
So, yeah, I know what its like to have an addiction to a certain car type!

Funny you mention that car EM-1 - I seem to have collected a few of those as well! Started off with the well-known WM with culvert load, then 3-4 seemed to fall into my hands one way or another. At first I didn't like them all that well, then after I figured out what all they could carry....well you know what I mean. Tractors, crawlers and even a couple of asphalt rollers. They apparently have a long and varied production history - one of mine is a Mantua with a metal chassis. I've put Kadees and metal wheels on all of them.
