My COTW is a bit lucky, or I am. Either way, I like it!  A bit of irish railroading, maybe?
Jerry
A nice find, paid $3 for it I think.

I FINALLY found a reasonably priced Twinkies car for $15 plus shipping on eBay. I'm pairing this with my Hostess set from two weeks ago to make a great Hostess consist. I've got two other Hostess cars as well - it will be a great consist. I also plan on modeling a local bakery to pair with the train.

Well, it has a shamrock on it so of course it's gonna be cheap for what it is!  So, my contribution to this week's COTW is a Mantua rail-gon gondola from a 1994 Mantua train pak.

I love this week's cars. Twinkies FTW.
Here is my COTW, a Mantua A&P wooden reefer. I really appreciate the fine printing on this car, even though the pics are a tad blurry.
Cheers, Thomas

With the Twinkie car and A&P car being posted, it's fair that I post this Oreo boxcar w/ original box.

I now need the Oreo car. It's on my wantlist now! Part of the backstory on my railroad is that there is a railroad car manufacturer. There actually used to be one 100 years ago where I now live. The AAR has deemed advertising cars legal again, so promo boxcars and such roll off the assembly lines. LOVE the Oreo car!

MB,
Those would be bulk head ice cars. The forerunner of the refrigeration car.
you should try and be more accurate.

| I was thinking the same thing Barry when I looked at the A&P... I have a pair (or two) of the A&P lighted poles from Life-Like but I'm not sure I'll get to use them. My 70s layout used the LL Convenience Store as an A&P. But now, I have the 7-11, which is the same kit. Don't know if I will double on this kit or not...

I know this is unrelated, but nice sawmill or whatever in the background. Also, nice COTW.

What no PINK bazooka car? or was that the bubble yum car?
Only kidding Jeff. The good news is I see the surgeon Wed. and should be allowed out of the house and travel. I got a bunch of train shows marked up on my calender and hope to start posting my finds soon.

| I think that "sawmill" was also sold as a "rural freight" station or something like that. I've always liked the way that part of it is 2-story.

The "saw mill" is a Campbell kit, I think, built by a club member a few
years back. No credit due here, but glad you enjoyed it. Pretty cool
bit of work.
