Hard to believe this long into the week, and no SOTW? Where's Micro Bus and his
Aero Train when you need him? This is from the Gravy Train Set, so ludicrous, I
had to have it. Some kind of promotional where with so many tons of dog food, the
proprietor got this lame train set- which I adore.

That was dog food? I thought this train set was about actual gravy related stuff, actually. Whatever the case, very strange set, I think I've only seen it like once at train shows.

There is also a pun about "gravy train" in reference to living the
good life. Think Pink Floyd's "Riding the Gravy Train" in reference
to the rock star life. By the way, to hold down the light hopper,
that is actually some of our dog's kibble's to keep it on the
rails!

Not to mention, when I searched that on Google, I got government cartoons.
