I had a [url=http://www.tycoforums.com/tyco/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17357#108849]Fleischmann Blatz reefer[/url] as a COTW last year, it needed some new trucks so I simply added some spare Athearn ones I had at the time and body mounted some #5s as the couplers were missing since they were originally truck-mounted (and they weren't compatible with anything I had anyway).
It is always great to see vintage rolling stock still running the rails.

My very first COTW post--
A recent addition to the rolling stock collection, Tyco's 50th Anniversary (1926-1976) box car.
