For this week, my AOTW is a Hot Wheels delivery van from the early 1980's.

My AOTW is these 3 carded Tyco crossings. The middle one is in the old 1960's card, the other two on early 70s cards

yes they are!
Don't anyone put HWs & Matchboxes on your layouts?
Especially when you have these!
Why spend $10-$20++ on a plastic vehicle?
TRUE??
When these diecasts are less that $1

yup they did
they were TT scale locos that ran on HO tracks
they were all push-power trains
Some had buttons on the loco that when you pressed it a door would open & there would be a engineer standing there waving
Should be a mess of them on Ebay
A BN loco was a EU type of electric loco
HW has had a few trains here & there

My entry is 10 pieces of brass flex track I got on ebay for 2.67 a piece. They are new old
stock. My layout has almost all of the supplies so I can finally get it built.

Found a Hot Wheels gondola car (orange and tan) at a pawn shop when I was 7, still have it, should probably get rid of it.
