Mmmmm...Juicy Fruit.
My car this week, a Sampson corrugated streamlined coach.
It turns out, this is actually a Vista Dome coach without the dome.
This is what it looks like after the first of probably many polishings.

OT52, I'm also using Autosol to polish aluminum cars.
BTW, does anyone have a spare gallon of elbow grease?
I managed to use up nearly all of mine on this car.

| Colorful cars shown so far this week. This one is a Chicago Cubs MTH freight car.
I hope the Cubs season does not derail like their namesake car.
Ben, Lionel trains and MTH trains do make a Colorado Rockies freight car. See their websites.

Evan,
When I was in the Navy I saw a 5 gallon can of Acme Elbow Grease. I was in the base supply room looking for a left handed crescent wrench. the grease was between the Haney Deluxe Flight Line and the Wonder Super Strength Prop Wash. You know I never did find a left handed wrench.
Regards, John

Wow!
Prop wash. You are dating yourself.
They don't make that anymore.
Rare as a bucket of steam

I almost fainted when I saw what they said it was and the Buy It Now price. Thank God for
newbie sellers who have no idea what they are selling.

Ha! Finally got one that Micro has not yet scooped up! Between Walt and his dumpsters
and Micro's collection it's hard to find anything left! Anyone seen any lamp posts
for sale?
