the set originally had a steam loco
but I wonder what the set would look like if it had a diesel loco
Since Tyco did that with the Chattanooga sets

My COTW is an Atlas N scale Dupont tanker car. Not sure if I posted this or not, actually.

Dang nice Swanson's,
but since some of you still don't seem to get
it:
"Herring boxes, without topses, sandals were for Clementine.
Oh, my dawlin', oh my dawlin'..."
And when I run out of Clementine lyrics I will start in on "99
bottles of beer on the wall."

My COTW this week is an unusual one by Rivarossi, I snagged this one due to the gasoline theme.  Very nice vintage piece.

I saw one guy at the train show on Saturday, he had about 3 or 4 of the Campbell's train sets, and extra engines, too. Sorry, Ben! Wasn't on the updated Gimme List apparently.

Jerry your Mobil tank car and flat is very, very, hard to find. Also made at the same time using the same flat car with a different road name and a trailer truck. The truck trailer was Santa-Fe AND Southern Pacific.

Huh. It appears they also had an early form of remote control cars, too.

No chains but there are days some metal studs would be nice. 
Autobus, same idea different brand. The tires are 4" x 26". They're called fat bikes and are actually quite functional for winter riding. I am looking forward to having the summer car back though...

My new B & O old time passenger set. Now I can Upsize from N scale on this train.
I have all of the parts needed to complete them and the set was cheap enough. I already have the Baggage car
for the set.
The locomotive will be a kitbashed rivarossi Reno/Genoa.
