Post your SOTW's right here, guys.

DaCheez, you are just torturing me with that Canadiana Shark,
dontcha know. By the way, I have a spare Canadiana box car
I don't need. Interested in trading it for something?

Hey all, heads up on the Aerotrain: there's gonna be a vendor at the Ag Hall Show on February 22 in Allentown, PA with a Varney Aerotrain to sell for $200, and one of those blue-and-yellow streamliners (IIRC it's supposed to represent the NYC Xplorer trainset from 1956, but I completely can't remember who made it) marked at $300. I saw him at the Merchants Square Show a couple weeks back, and he said he'd be at the Ag Hall Show next.

Chops, that shark took me ages to get my hands on. Keep your eyes open, you'll find one. As for the boxcar I already have several more than what's pictured.

Yaargh! Well, at least I get to enjoy seeing that Canadiana on the TF.
Terrific photo of a terrific train on a terrific layout. Maybe I'll gather
my resources for a Tyco 2016 Calendar (I am developing a connect)
and I want that red and white beauty in it! For October!

Wow! That shorty set takes the cake. "Through Mail." What
a slogan. What a contrast to the digital age. "Fast Freight"
compared to Fed Ex. Crazy cool.
Don't know which I like better, the Canadiana or the Pennsy set.

Continuing with my chrome kick. My SOTW is a full brace of Tyco chrome F units and my newly acquired chrome santa Fe tavern car.

These are some pieces that i have posted in the past just never together.
I thought that they made a pretty credible weed spray outfit. the tank car is labeled as a fire fighting car, but a quick repaint could make it ready for weed service.
