Things go better with Coke, and a new truck definitely would. I'll have to find my stash of reclaimed triple trucks to fix this one. A cheap train snow find last month. I think I may have 5 or 6 of these by now.

At least your Coke has the hand rail to nowhere still
in place. I bought some music wire and intend to
start bending new hand rails for about half a dozen
or so tankers missing handrails, if they let me out
of the box, this week.

I have this car and the soo lines version. Believe it or not they are actually close to the prototype.
If you are not having fun, you are not doing it right.

And things go better with cat. This is Reeves, a horribly spoiled rescue cat,
showing off his 7-11 fifty footer fresh out of the repair shop. When he isn't
showing off his Tyco, he likes to destroy trolley layouts. He has used several
of his 9 lives, owing to his cuteness.

Great photo, Jeff... 
My crazy love for animals was active Sunday morning as we head to church with no time to spare. At a 3 way intersection we catch a stop light. As I 'm slowing down I see a fair sized black snake in the straight lane sitting looking around and moving slowly. ALL thru church, I could not stop thinking that I should have got out and picked him up and took him across the road. Going back home and thinking what I'm going to see when we get back to that intersection, to my surprise, he had some how made it clear across and up into the cemetery property. I was relieved...

Thank You for the info Ray! I think, , I have the SOO Line also but can't say for sure. I like these box cars by Tyco. They have a good look about them...
REVISED. I got to thinking about the SOO Line piece and had to go down to look. I found what I was thinking I had.

Was the snake carrying an apple, Walt? Sounds like
a slithery slope in the making. I once stopped to
ferry a turtle back to a nice, warm swamp, from
out of the road where he was trying to huff himself
from one side to the other.
