My junk box item of the week is this coal car. With trucks this piece would pull minus a few steps that are missing... Has 38 years of crud inside!.

Nice Walt!
My JOTW offering is a recent purchase of some early Mantua parts:

This week from my junk box. Many parts are missing but it was free. Not sure of the maker but the motor does run.

My JOTW car is a Peppermint Patty boxcar, a hard one to track down, picked out of the 2 dollar pile at Timonium I think. Missing trucks and sliding doors, but I'll wing it. :) My Candy consist is growing, this will provide a refreshingly cool look to the consist when it finally rolls.

Junkbox find.
D&RGW 4-8-0 frame complete. Have the rest to rebuld.
4-8-0 frame complete with tender frame.
two Geeps, I think. They came with the others and got them all for less than $20.
4-8-0s are hard to come by (cheaply that is) and just couldn't pass up on the price. However, Sean got the better
deal.....droooool..

My JOTW is a box full of old 1970's H0 parts. Some of which are, in fact, in good condition and don't have any missing parts. The majority of them, however, are fairly beat up and await being fixed up and whatnot.
