Walking away with the first post here this morning, I've added another walking brakeman Tyco car to my collection. Eventually I will have 4 or 5 cars converted to things other than a human walking on the roofs of these boxcars.  Plans are for a dairyman's car with cow, Purina car with cat, etc.
I wonder how much rolling resistance one of these puts out? I've never fully rubber-banded one to see, none of them have had surviving rubber bands enough to test one. I will have to check on that eventually. Could be interesting if I try to run 4 or 5 at once, might need a stout diesel to pull them. Anyway, another project car.

Between the cow crossing and the animated box cars,
you will have a regular three ring circus in operation!
Then again, you just might have to double head
a set of DD40-X's just to pull it.

Still having a love affair with this mega cool yellow Burlington Northern girl.
Can't wait to find the time to set her up with her BN green sisters.

My car this week is a Tyco Texaco Tanker. Not sure if I posted this before.
