My COTW is an Atlas Union Pacific N scale hopper I got from a friend of my parents.

Nice Domino CenterFlow Walt! I've only seen two at shows around here and one of those had the flaked-off logo these cars are infamous for. The other one had good logos but was missing one corner stirrup. It came home with me anyway. Btw, how does one "accidentally" win an eBay auction??

Yes, Glenn. The Domino is hard to find a nice one. I have two really nice ones. I placed the opening bid on the Domino car on ebay figuring the piece would sell high. It sat there the whole week and no one else bid on it!

Well this week my choice is A Varney Sinclair silver tank car. A common paint and lettering but a uncommon number. 38001 is common. 38000 is the odd one. It may a limited run car made for another train company and used in trainsets. I don't really know. frank

Take a ride on the Reading! Nice scene, Top Train! I'd really like to get a better look at that GEEP in the background. Very unique to my Texas eyes.
