My COTW is a Tyco/Mantua Monon gondola I got with a ton of H0 scale stuff from my grandparents a few months ago.

Flat with KW's is a bit hard to find, Jeff... and a little pricey.

HO Scale Trains Resource shows both Tyco and Bachmann having B&M hoppers with that road number, so I was curious. The thickness of the bay doors on yours looks like Bachmann to me, but pictures can be deceiving!
