My contribution to this week's AOTW is an IHC H0 scale car Mini-Things car pack (Yes, that's what it's called. ) that was donated to my train group a while back.

A bit campy is my next post, a Winnebago by Road Champs, got it at the small Fire House train show on Saturday. Very nice shape, too. Don't often see these big rigs around. I missed them when they came out in 95-96, as I wasn't doing much collecting back then.

Tree by Life Like. Inspired by WKS of the Tyco Forum. I really love the way
WKS uses color, and autumnal trees, to make his subjects pop. Here's to
you, WKS!

| The colors of the trees and old time train set are nice Jeff. Those other trees will come in handy on your layout Walt. The model cars are also nice Stephen and Jerry.

This is a Tyco "Made in Hong Kong" bumper. It came thrown in with something else I got and I couldn't figure out quite how it was suppose to work. Then I see you can slide it into a piece of track and it will make "contact". The bumper itself is spring loaded and apparently triggers a light (which was not included; there are a couple of little brass ports for wires from a light . . . or perhaps a little recording . . . "hey, watch where you're goin'!" . . .
