My COTW is a Southern Pacific tanker car in N scale. (it's a toy from that company in the mid 90's)

OI always thought it'd be funny to make new shiloettes with new scenes
Like murder or death scenes Like the ones from the Roger Rabbit movie 
OR funny ones Do a whole car with clowns in them
OR cartoon characters

A couple of COTW from an antique mall in Louisville. A Bachmann new-in-box B&LE Steel Coil Car and an AHM Wabash Helium Cylinder car.

My COTW contribution couldn't come at a better ( or worse? ) time - an Athearn snowplow. With the record(s) piling up in New England area, I'll bet they wish they had some of these in a street version!  Not sure where the front axle is at the moment, it's around somewhere. Was gonna do a real 1:1 snow presentation with it, but without the front axles, well, shoot. Anyway, time to shovel my car out and try to get to work, got 4 inches last night in northern Virginia, USA. Not as bad as the northeast got socked, but a minor pain.

 I've heard of that. Horrible that you guys would have to go through that horrid weather. But as for the Athearn snow plow, I know someone who has one of those. When it spins, it's actually kinda cool to watch, although you need to add extra weight in order to do so without pushing down on it.

Yup, three more inches last night for a total of 8 or 9 that still haven't begun to melt here in Philly... my aunt and uncle up north in Rhode Island have SEVEN FEET... school's out for the snow today since they couldn't get it all plowed till mid-morning. Liking the rotary though, mine is still half-assembled, undecorated in its box

Tyco pickle car, from my big Sis and honorary Tycohead, "Under Dog."
The Round House box cab is a much used, formerly MOW, then N de M,
now sold to Boston and Maine under suspicious circumstances.

Dried figs, plumped up and preserved in spiced sweet liqueur or sugar syrup. They were used as a condiment like pickles, relish, or chutney, and were apparently a Thanksgiving or Christmas thing like cranberry sauce, but I don't know what people put them on.

* Wow ! Ben did a triple stacker on the trash can lid. He is reaching new heights in his photography. Very daring.
