Really? Oh, wait, I think I've heard of those guys at some point.Anyway, my COTW is a Penn Line Pennsylvania Railroad baggage coach from about 1962 according to their catalog from that year.

I believe that's the type of stuff they also used during the Civil War. Apparently Mantua/Tyco (the creator of that car) made a set in the 1960's commemorating both sides.

I hope this doesn't break any rules but I'd post a couple of neat Z scale cars I acquired (I model in both Z and HO). These two cylindrical's are made by a small company out of Florida called Full Throttle. The company only produces 30-40 of a certain design making them instant collectibles. The owner tells me he was inspired by the Tyco Cylindrical designs when he did these.

naaaah you isn't
BUT I wants every single one in HO scale!

The crazy thing is you could do this on real railroads!
That old 1920s ICC ban on billboards on freight cars is 100% null & void!
Which if the railroads want to sell ads on the cars this would be a great idea to pick up some extra cash

Well, that's actually pretty dang cool. Especially the fact that they're inspired by Tyco.

Found this little gem today on evilbay. It is marked "Roco - Austria" on the bottom. It is
different than the other Baby Ruth cars I have seen.

Huh, it is very odd. I never even knew this variation existed.
