My COTW is a Silver Streak Tyco streamlined caboose with my vintage 1967 Miller High Life clock lit up in the background.

Marx box car with non-revenue passenger. Found in a junk box at an estate sale.
It tracks beautifully. That Triang Crane is to beat the band. In fact, all the British
postings have been preeeety dang cool this week.

* Hey chops! thanks for the nice words. The NH box car 4003 is a Revell . The four thousand series numbers are use by Revell for their box cars. I like your Bum hitching a ride. He is very well dressed, unless it is a railroad worker just trying on his HOBO costume.

That is quite a piece Frank. I wouldn't mind seeing a few more photos of that.

Thank you very much for the much needed info on #4003. I
had no idea I was running a Revell! In my off Tyco hours I spent
many happy hours assembling Revell planes and whatnot. Do you
have any idea the vintage?

Very nice crane, Frank and great detail on the caboose, Ken. My COTW is a couple of Tyco stake trailers on a flat.

* Ken are you saying my old beat up cars, loco's, and track has a lot of derailments and the wrecking crane on duty has a lot of work to do. WELLLLL ! You'rrre right sometimes. There are days when certain cars just don't want to run next to certain other cars. I don't think that this is so much a mechanical problem as it is a personality problem. They just don't know how to get along with each other. I have tried speaking harshly to them . Sometimes it works. Then a certain Virginian hopper cars with knuckle couplers decides to let go and leave half the train where it shouldn't be left. Then a jealous Pennsylvania hopper thinks it is a neat thing to do and it does the same somewhere else. Ohhh them I am forced to reprimand them. After a good speaking to they play nice again.
* Just like on the Isle of Sodor .

Did anyone notice the "sideways" B & O F-unit in the back? That crane may seem to have job security, eh?

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
