Set of 15 Tyco Auto Loaders trailed by a Marx caboose. The Athearn blue box (C 636?) on point, making easy work of the 1.5% grade. Photo taken at El Paso Model Train Club.Edited by - Chops124 on February 19 2017 4:30:06 PM

** Last night a train from Bethlehem Steel dropped it cars here at the Frankford yard. It is a load of large pipes and some structural steel beams. Its destination is New Haven Ct. All accommodations are being made to gat the train out today. The NYC or New Haven is sending power for the trip to New Haven as they are not apart of out locomotive exchange policy. frank

Nice! Only time I've seen anyone else run these old Tyco cars ( besides me ). And I don't have 15 upgraded to run, about 9 I think with Kadee's and athearn trucks/wheels now. Thanks for posting that. your fleet, Chops124?

https://youtu.be/zy-QsoFNW6s Taken Saturday last at El Paso Model Train Club. I run a lot of the old Tyco, but more often use Athearn Blue Box or an Atlas, when I can get it, for head end power.Edited by - Chops124 on February 20 2017 12:09:33 PM

Here's mine. Picked this Cox set up today at a local thrift store. Price tag was $24.99, had a 30% off coupon and got it for $17.50. The box is a bit beat up, but the set is pristine inside. The loco box literally looks like it was opened once. The wheels are almost factory new.

Why the heck can't I run into stuff like this Cox set. I could spend the next 15 years going to thrift stores everyday and not find this. I am jealous as all get out.
