auto-train boxcar by Bachmann & yes I has the whole train but since the real one used 2 boxcars for the vehicles Thought I'd get a 2nd one 
this is prolly at or nearly as long as the Athern Auto Parts boxcars!
do want a few of those boxcars
Since I saw a ex-CB&Q & a BN one time

Nice pickle car. Reminds me that I need to add some Revell to my collection.
Very cool auto train car. I wouldn't mind getting that whole set. How rare are they?

I has that pickle car too in the box
not real sure
I got mine from a member in here but was only sent the loco body & a few cars
the loco chassis had Zinc Rot so bad it bent the whole frame in a almost U shape
Some slight damage to shell but nothing serious

Can't pass up a request for car of the week.
Liliput cranes. These are the lower priced ones made for AHC, way back when for 5 or 6 bucks. They came just colored, and colored with road names. I have 5 0r 6 of them someplace. On these their is no counter weight on the rear of the cab. Also the hinged and what should be adjustable outriggers are cast into the crane base. Liliput later one made cranes with all the missing options I have listed. They were over $25. 25 years ago.I got a pair of these also one red and one blue with foreign railroad markings.
* Two are on the layout against the wall and have picked up some dust. They are apart of my wreck clearing train. They are a blue one, and red one. These are complete and operate.
* This is the red one I got over this past weekend. Just lounging around on my work bench collecting dust for one day. I am hopeful about getting to it soon, and hook back up chain's so it can operate once more.

My COTW is of one I have only ever seen twice... dating from 1959 - a Rivarossi Mobil Gas Trailer on PRR Piggyback Flatcar. I think I sold them both times. The latest was back in 2012. Needless to say, they do not come up too often. I do not believe I kept on, but I might have. It would be tucked away if I did.

I dunno, the cargo looks like it'd fit Penn Central's theme of putting crap on rails!
sim-al2
Also since they cut track maintaince the trains had huge trouble making over the railroad by the end
