My COTW is a plain jane Tyco Ralston Purina car. It's the first car in my quest to get the pieces for a Silver Streak back together. It was my first train set, and this is the first piece :)

West India Free-ut? Wonder how that got through unnoticed...
I recently picked up this old Fleischmann tinplate reefer on eBay for $4 (AUD). It was missing a truck so I recycled some old worn out Athearn trucks so it could do another million scale miles, and put the obligatory Kadee #5s on each end.
Fleischmann Old Heidelberg reefer URTX1428.
The reefer also came with a German four-wheeled freight car which was also missing wheels.Edited by - Heihachi_73 on August 15 2016 7:41:44 PM

I've had the Eggo car since the year 1999. I won a large slot car auction that had five of the old road & rail crossings in it. I talked and joked to the lady would was the seller thruout the week. She sent me the Eggo car as a gift.... Edited by - walt on August 15 2016 10:36:21 PM

My Car of the Week is a recent purchase of mine. Its the Athearn RTR Southern Pacific 1776 Bay Window Caboose. I absolutely love this paint scheme and plan on ordering the locomotive in a few weeks!
