Not to be confused with my OTHER JOTW ( Jewelry of the Week ) I did before, this is to post your junkbox junk : engine, rolling stock, buildings, whatever you got laying around that may or may not deserve any notice, but just a fun post. Got some broken lighting, a building missing a roof? Post it! Time for some fun this weekend. I'll start off with this ratty ol' Izola Tempo AHM engine, Has the 5-pole motor I want to repower my old BL-2 engine with, they normally came with 3-pole motors. Finding a 5-pole version is much harder. Once the motor is removed, don't know that the chassis will of any use to me, but I'll probably keep it anyway.  So, here 'tis!

Oh boy. Where do I start? My JOTW is a Tyco Broadway trolley. That thing has never worked correctly for me ever. It still looks okay though.

This is another gift from the inlaws! A wood boxcar that has seen better days. I know nothing about it:

Here is my JOTW:
A small box which seems to be filling up with Penn Line Whitcombs...
This is a good topic string for ma as I have a bunch of boxes of various locomotives like this piled up!

I hate you I can't even find ONE of those damn things!!!
Also, Glenn, your boxcar is just scratchbuilt. Silver streak trucks plus handmade truss rods, roof ribs on the ends and door blocks don't match any boxcar kits. Do like it though, that's not junk at all!

I probably should've left it out of the shot.

Wow, this post is really filling up fast! I wonder if it will be considered "spam" since it's mostly junk? Well, not all of it. I really like that box of Whitcombs, pretty nice collection you have, you posted that before I think in another thread. I have one or two, neither running I don't think. The Trolley is only marginal junk, it just needs some help to run well. This post is like the American Pickers of HO trains. Like the cat, too, is he related to that deceased author's cats which have more than 5 claws per foot? I think he lived in Florida, and they sell kittens from his estate when they breed maybe.
Well, the week ain't over yet, keep the "stuff" coming!
