My COTW for this week is an Athearn Lackawanna box car.

Opened the box to this Tropicana and it just jumped out at me. Very crisp & new... I have 84 street lights working off the Ripmax now... You can see the glow of the city!

Mega cool photo there, Walt, definitely one for the imaginary Tyco Calendar. I, too,
have fallen in love with this specimen. Here's my kit doodling across the El Paso
Model Train Club's HO layout.

Hope that guy drivin' the Challenger doesn't get nervous and let go of the clutch too quick.

You know what they say: when life hands you lemons,
make orange juice.

Actually Chops, when life hands me a bunch of lemons, I make a nice tall, cool glass of Long Island Tea.
My COTW is actually 3. I won a bid for some un-built Roundhouse cars. 2 box cars and 1 stock
car. 1 box car will become the Cookie Car for my Xmas train and the Stock car will become
Rudolph's personal car.

That's a cool lookin' gondola Ben. Interesting how the side support staves are kind of randomly placed.
