My contribution for this week's AOTW is an Arnold N scale spare railing I got with my Arnold GP-7(?) unit.

I have 3 items for this week. The first is a 2 light signal from Walthers, with plastic box.
The second is two old switch machines that still work. They both have switches for indicator bulbs as well.

Well the New Havana PD did it, they acquired a 1975 Ford Torino for the undercover squad, and it looks like its already paying off! 
just me Ray... and just because I have Tyco doesn't mean I am not a model railroader

My accessory of the week is this book that will come in very handy as I got it along with an MDC Climax (pictured in LOTW). I am also assembling an MDC 2 Truck Shay so I can use it there also.

Awesome Starsky and Hutch scene. I had two different Torinos of that style when I was in high school. One blue and one yellow. I have dug Torinos ever since. Love the hood slide!

Got this on Wednesday from the LHS.
One of you has this as well.
With a little tweaking, it runs like a ....track cleaner.

 That looks like something out of Total Recall (the original one). Very bizarre.

A little late this week, but my AOTW is a boxed set of construction vehicles by Wiking. Got them for a dollar at a train show a couple years ago.
