AGH, I'm looking for a couple of those GO coaches! Rarer than Hen's Teeth I've found, even up here. Are they all the same number and it's just the coach right?

Same number, Lifelike I believe. Found them at a show. If you find them don't wash too hard the lettering comes off...

I got these 5 cars at a train show Sunday. They were sold as individuals.
They must have come from a set someone broke up. No matching caboose or engine, just the boxcars.
They're by CON-COR and say "MADE IN US". Though you can see the die in area with the "US" has been modified. Maybe they were made over seas at one time and they brought the dies back to the US for this production run?

I know I've already posted for this week, but this arrived and I had to share it. My fiance has
a loco named after her and I have my trains, but my dog is left out in the cold.
I saw this on eBay and just had to get it for his part.
Well, when it arrived today I discovered that the milkbone in the car is not plastic, it is a
REAL Milkbone biscuit!

I took the Go Train a few times back in the day. Banana car and Dr. Pepper.
Much gnashing of teeth out here in El Paso Land.
