My set for this week is my completed Tyco/Mantua Civil War centennial set.
You'll notice that this set has been equipped with link-n-pin couplers?
Here is a kitbashed early version of the hospital car to go with the set.

Wow, that is a nice Centennial set! I like it!
My SOTW is a set of three traction models. Microbusss, I not only found the Boeing LRV for $10, I got THREE of them for 10 each! :D I love that flea market, the guy selling the trains had some great deals, this was one of them. I couldn't pass up all 3 of them for that price.

D*&^n! Why can't I get flea market stuff like that? Maybe it's because all of our flea
markets have been invaded by cheap-a@#$ import crap.

Oh, I like those street cars. Make Micro give me his
Clementine set before you cough up one of those
cuties! Those retail for quite some pesos last time
I looked. Nice buy.

Another set, of sorts, arrived in the mail today. A set of bright green BN box cars
and other assorted Tycomania from a trade with BNSFIA, who does NOT reside
on the Atlantic Seaboard, but in the heart of corn country in Iowa, I found out.
Seen here on an inaugural run on the Tyco Expander Layout, testing out the
inner loop of track. I just love this stuff.

There was a time when I used to think that the green BN box car was common and drab. Then one day I won an auction with the BN in it and it's really a very impressive piece! The one I have is like new and painted. I always thought these were moulded in green, and kind of want to believe that some are.

There is one for sale on Ebay for about $4000. Maybe the UP will give you right
of way to get it back to Nebraska.
I'll throw in a NOS Tyco cattle semi along with the Coca Cola tanker PLUS
the Athearn Commerative set for your Clementine.

That's right, you turned the stack... I forgot about that until you reminded me. I didn't have the set or any cars, my loco was an orphan
