My AOTW is up! Here it is! It's the box that's for my Hornby Flying Scotsman.

This week I'll list the Tyco Fluorescent lights that I am currently placing around my 4 lane.
Picture shows 100 poles, I gave 4 away...
I currently have opened several blister packs and have mounted 22...

Nice stuff guys. Walt, thanks again for the four poles. Has you've seen they're being put to good use!
I've spent the last week assembling my Flying Submarine and Spindrift models. Both are still in paint, but I was able to finish the minisub that came in one of the kits. Hopefully I can find a place for it on my layout.

Does this remind anyone else of that old Beatles song "Yellow Submarine"?

My AOTW, a TYCO piggyback loader/unloader I got at a train show in non-working condition for $10. Since then I have managed to get the motor working which moves the monster-sized forklift back and forth, but I don't know how to fix the motor that makes the fork lift or lower.

I came across these while unpacking more of my trains today. I have the '92 and '94 collections also but haven't found them yet.
An example of what information is contained on the back of each card.

My AOTW:
Some vintage Lionel/Athearn station wagons:
Not bad for a BIN $10 purchase.

You MUST find a spot for that submarine, whatever it takes!

Nice cars! I see some Bachmann vehicles in there with the Athearns. Those Athearn cars have nice details, I have one of the later production cars, a station wagon in dark blue.

Finding a spot should be easy, figuring out a way to actually mount it to the layout will be a little more difficult. Thin wires and suspend it from the ceiling maybe...?
