Thanks, those are regular old over-and-under trestles with flex track on a custom ballasted deck.

My COTW is an Ambroid Combine Work Caboose... I posted a similar one back in March of 2013, but I just picked up this super clean assembled example tonight with two other freight cars for ~$20 incl s/h. Well worth it if you ask me!

Well, acquiring THIS Tyco car will no longer keep me up at night! LOL! Went into the shop this Tuesday evening, and my co-worker there had snagged this nice Tyco Sanka car, without a box, but absolutely SHINY and mint, and gave it to me. he belongs to an HO club, and they auction off stuff or give it to the club to give away. Thanks, John! Absolutely flabber-pasted he did that for me. I'm drinking in every drop of it when I look at it now. I guess I should hook it up with my Domino's Sugar hopper as well.

Justin ' Good morning ! Nice supply caboose. Most likely a old Silver Streak model. Your missing a step platform on the caboose end. Easy to make , just takes awhile. Good find and I like the road name. " Enjoy the Toy" !
