Trolling about El Paso, in the 100+ heat, I stumbled over this Vintage '70's and '80's
hobby shop. You can look up web address and phone number if interested. The
place is jammed floor to rafters with NIB collectibles from that period, including a lot of
Matchboxes, among other things. They had an interesting array of Tyco- and Lionel, as
shops go. Prices high end of retail, but got the feeling he'd discount on multiple items.

Micro-B, from the color of it I would bet money it is a Penn Central car. I have one just like it.

Micro is right, I will compulsively have to go back and check on it!
AND it has my beloved horn hooks.
Being a bit lazy: it is www.davenales.com for the corresponding photos.
Hal's Hobby Warehouse is www.halshobbyhouse.com. Hal's doesn't have
an overwhelming model train stock (mostly RC Air and Wheel), but he
does have a signifigant stock of high end HO Athearn in Mexican roadnames
if you feel like going South of the Border.
He also has a chunk of HO Marklin, NIB, recent vintage, that he can't get
rid of, and might take an offer. I think he got it at an estate sale, or
something.
