My contribution to this week's COTW is another Illinois Central passenger car, this time being a baggage car. I still can't get over how good I did on this set at my recent train show.

I have only one IC car, the City of Jackson.
Not sure what to do with it.
I may paint it, or pass it on to someone.
Interested?

My car is a hybrid of many parts but at its heart is a Tyco.

My car of the week is a CPR newsprint service box car I picked up for $10 at the local hobby store. It's from an estate sale. By the looks of it it was custom-painted and decalled.

Because of the snow we had in Texas last week, I had to pull out a snow plow.
