Starting of this week's SOTW it looks like, I'm posting my first ever A-B-B-A set, in Penn Central livery. The powered B unit is on the right. And even better, the two A engines are different numbers, one is 9451, the other is 5451.  So an actual prototypical set in a way.

You're really tearing it up with all these PC posts, AMC! A trio of Hyvee cars from an AHM
promotional set under the Conrail flag (layout courtesy of El Paso Model Train Club).

My US Navy set is a thing of beauty for a X Bluejacket.

My SOTW is an odd one.... It's an old Fleischmann train set that I got for $40 at a train show last weekend. The set is a 1341S diesel, and a bunch of matching Santa Fe coaches along with their boxes; all of them in excellent condition. The engine runs beautifully. All I had to do to get it running practically spotlessly was clean the wheels. I looked on the bottoms of the coaches and locomotives and noticed an interesting little number on each of them. I later found that they're date codes and found the entire set to have been made in 1960.

Thank you. Even I'm shocked I was able to get it for that cheap in the condition it's in.

My set of the week is the scarce 1958 Sunset Limited passenger set made by Gilbert. I never understood why they didn't offer a vista dome or observation car for this set...
Short video of it running:

Amazing sets. Great score, Steven. Burb, that set is killing me. Short,
but no less sweep.
