Not bad, man. You did great on that FP45.

Not very many train shows in my area but today I picked up these 9 cars, a used car lot kit and 6 pieces of corked roadbed for a total of $11.00.

Nice haul for $11.00 Tramp! Who made the ribbed-side Milwalkee car?
JB, I see your Crane Car and Boom Tender set still has the crane operating knob! Very cool!

There is no name on it but it has screw in trucks like Athearn models.

Looks like a Roundhouse - I have one like it.

That Rib-Side Milwaukee boxcar is a Roundhouse alright. In fact, it's a fairly rare one from the first generation of their plastic models immediately after the all-metal kits. They used Athearn's car floors and trucks, but substituted the steel plate/plastic frame for a 1-piece cast underbody that resembled the old metal ones they already had.
Mine is under the knife getting wire grabirons installed. Nice find!
