Seeing the Busss's Penn Central center flow hopper from last week has put me in a
PC kind of mood. Tyco never made this set, but if they had...Tyco GP20 on point,
leading an Athearn Geep.

Love that layout.
Did you repaint those hoppers yourself? Whoever did it did a nice job!

My SOTW is a Canadiana I picked up off of the internet for $20. They had $25 on it, got them down to $20. I had to drive an hour and a half to get it, but it was worth it. Box is a bit beat up, but the set is complete as per the instructions (the owners thought it was missing a car). I was going to resell it, but I'm keeping this set.
The locomotive runs awesome. 1st Gen PT with full handrails. I know the Gen 1's ran hot, but this one's barely been run.

$20 is an unbelievable steal. Dan, all these amazing finds of yours lately is really making me envious! Is the other side of that in French? I'm guessing it was near Quebec then? Or is everything there in English and Spanish like it is here?

You nailed that one.
The layout is of the El Paso Model Train Club, Kris.

Nice score Micro. The Thomas stuff is actually OO too; it's just packaged as HO because it's sold in USA. And that cattle van would be great for running behind Thomas' train
