This and about two dozen other cars have re-entered revenue service from
Chop's Chop Shop. I still have ten flats that I need to find loads for.
Question: I fashioned rails for the tank cars (thank you, Justin), but
am not clear on ladders. Did Tyco tank cars even come with ladders, for
the most part? Any ideas on how to fabricate ladders??

I have some material from an AC that would help you with ladders...do you have tin snips and a mill file?

BTW....I know someone really close to me that has a rather snappy looking Bicentennial trail that those patriotic trailers would look awesome in the consist.

I'm just sayin'...;-)

Hey Chops, how about a close-up of that Chrysler/Plymouth container flat? That thing is super cool.

I'll get you a closer shot of that one. The loads appear
to be from a paper cut out kit of some vintage. Not
sure they are even HO scale. I glued them on not
knowing what else to do with all this empty
acreage. I've got about another 9 flats to go.

Reminds me of the days when the car makers always had their big unveiling of the new models in the fall, and they were kept 'under wraps' until then.

Two more images of the Plymouth/Chrysler load. Trying to get the hang of this
new old camera.
