| That tanker trailer looks pretty fine. Building a circus could be fun.

Barry,
I believe that may be a brass model of a stock car, but I'm not 100% sure on that but has the detail to be brass!

Frank,
Damn!!! That is nice! OLD Rivarossi (Yeah you can't tell I favor Rivarossi any huh?)
Ken,
NICE small and large brass matching stock cars! I'm planning to use some dual level cars BUT I have to figure out who makes them first (I have a couple of them but want a few more, I'll probably get something like 14 cars, 7 loaded, 7 unloaded for the whole set up....We'll see tho! That means I need a BUNCH of little animals to go in the loaded ones.....

I wish I could find the other one they made. It was the same type flat car but it had a red mobilegas tank trailer on as a load. Very neat car.

My COTW needs identification. It's a neat, very short combine I picked up on Ebay for a few bucks. It is all metal, except the roof, which is plastic. Metal trucks and wheels. Assembled with screws. It has a nice 'aged' look at present. It's perfect for my crusty Tyco shifter! What is it?

Adams, interesting car! I have the same thing, is the sides of that car made of brass?
Ben, That 0-27 box car is interesting, whats the meaning of the paint on it? Have any idea of the whole logo on that car? Definitely an interesting logo, with having the arrows and what seems to be a rebel flag......
Ben, also I may have a bobber, anything in particular your looking for?

Mike,
That ACL Bobber looks to have a metal frame, does it?
I got a bunch of the TYCO models, a few Rivarossi's as well as a couple Bachmann's......I have to say tho, I like the old TYCO or Mantua's with the metal frames.....The only part I don't like is the damned wheels, they're awefully low riding cars.....I have not yet checked coupler height tho....I may put Jay-Bee wheel sets under mine, 36 inch or even 40 inch wheels to raise the height a little bit......Pls, the Jay-Bee's will allow me to light the interiors!
Ben, so which Bobber you looking for?

Mike,
Thanks! I got one that's either TYCO OR Mantua, that has a metal frame with metal casted end steps.....It looks as if the plastic on your model is actually metal! I had to ask!
NOW, knowing I have one that's got a metal frame, and metal steps and I think the wheelsets give it away but they are Mantua types with the "wire" axle, but does the frame indicate that its one or the other, TYCO or Mantua?

Very nice car! Was curious about the trailer load - the tires of the trailer look like they are removed and leaning back against it? Are those spares?

Those are the trailers rear axels. They are rubber tires, and fit snugly inside the side walls.
