My COTW is the State of Maine New Haven reefer I purchased from the local Greenburg train show as it passed through Monroeville PA this past weekend. The photo itself shows the total of my train show purchases for the day. Nothing was priced over $6 and most was less than $4.

| That's an interesting little steam locomotive. Be fun to see that when it's dressed up and running.

The above is a modified Athearn bay window caboose I bought from a friend from the local hobby shop who sells at the flea market. It's got a modified window placement, most of its non-stock railings, non-stock trucks and a non-stock paint job.
Repairs will eventually include finishing the railings, repairing part of the roof-walk, perhaps some window glass, and couplers. Interesting to note the trucks barely swivel and appear to have no clearance underneath the carbody even though there is no obstructions added during the modifications.
Anyone have a clue what roadname this car started off as, or was supposed to become? Now it's going to be the basis for a paint scheme for either of my railroads I'd like to make.

It was to become "Nickel Plate High Speed Service"

| Last week when I was at the flea market I seen the Zenith train set for 10 bucks, but I left it right there because I decided not to get trains just because they are there. I only want TYCO and Mantua.
