A massive U25C DPU trails a set of Penn Central freight cars down the Cajone Pass. Apparently the PC actually lost trains from time to time, and this would be a rather extreme case.

I guess this qualifies as PSOTW ( partial ), as I think there are 3 cars in this set. Found the older Mantua 1776 Bi-centennial cars on my trip through Mann's Choice PA at the local Model Train shop there. Not sure how rare these are compared to the other set, but price was right, so brought'em home with me. :)

 Did PC actually lose trains every now and then. Gee, know wonders Penn Central was so corrupt.

SOTW for me is this Shell promotional set that was a giveaway with a fill-up of Shell gas. All die cast cars in roughly TT scale but for HO track.
