Well,
This is a REAL switch.....for me anyway, I have NEVER purchased a "set" to post here, NEVER MIND be the topic starter!
Anyway, HERE I AM.....And I as I said, I don't often buy "sets" so....BUT, I seen this, on Sunday at the show, and for the price, I took a chance......$10.00 took her home:
I have seen these go for a little bit, and all and not be known to run or if it runs, and every one I have yet to see, has not ran! 'Till this one, I got lucky......IT RUNS!

Ben,
This is the "SOTW"!!!!!
I'd love to find another 3 or more of the "stage coach" type cars tho to this set.....I'm going to make the little Norris 4-2-0 pull them, IF I ever find the 4-2-0, "Lafayette" in green B&O to pull these cars as the B&O actually had them, like that! might take me a bit to do it......BUT.....here I go again!

Ben's referring to how you titled this thread.

I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"

Glenn,
Thanks for pointing that out I was not seeing the "LOTW" in the tittle.... That's bad! LOL I must have been tired when I posted that in the beginning!

That Dewitt Clinton is pretty cool. I'd like to see a video of that thing snakin' along the track. Just to keep things going, here's a video of a little hobo freight; Tyco-Mantua pulling odds and ends of cars, though a Tyco Rio Grande stock car is among the consist.
I kind of like the noise of the cars; the clicks and clacks and squeaks
