Nice car, Walt. My COTW is an old Arnold N scale caboose I'm in the process of making into a diner thing.

Just got these in--still sealed, never opened since 1955--no clues other than what you see--stay tuned for the grand opening to see what we have here! Any guesses?? Road names?

Isn't it obvious? It says so on the package. Just kidding.I wonder what kinds of rolling stocks are inside those boxes. Guess we'll have to find out.

| Gray F3 A unit, red caboose, I believe the hopper and gondola are black, not sure what color the box car is. They were a Kellogg's Cereal Promotion from the 1950s.

My car(s) of the week, a Walthers Cotton Belt airslide hopper and a Bowser Cotton Belt 2-bay covered hopper. I got both of these for $5, and I have one more airslide hopper and 3 more 2-bay hoppers to assemble.

Fresh from the train show, a $2 Athearn Monon boxcar - all it lacked was a coupler.
