FLoating out this COTW for you, I believe an Athearn boat flat, in GM&O. Another TImonium find, I have about 3-4 boat flats now to go along with my Lima propeller flats. Hope to float that consist sometime next year, after I finish my AMC Bi-level auto rack consist first.

Nice boat car, Jerry. Anyway, my COTW is an H0 scale Trains Miniature Hills Bros Coffee billboard car that I have no idea who made it.

Great car Stephen - love the graphics. That's one I haven't seen before. I'll guess it's a Roundhouse too.

I just did some research and found that it's a 1970's era Train Miniature car. Search Hills Bros Coffee H0 scale and you'll find it.

It's probably an O gauge freight car as far as I can tell. I'm kind of wondering the same thing.

Ben, I have the Purina Cat and Dog chow boxcars, but no caboose. I think that was a separate set than the one's that Bachmann did, or is this caboose a Bachmann, too?
