My SOTW offering:
The latest addition to my Tyco roster, the complete A-Team set, as far as cars go! All stickers are present also. Does anyone have a spare A-Team van, helicopter, or B.A. (Mr. T) they would like to sell/trade?? I just need those items to have a pretty-complete set. :)

What vintage that Mask set, Mike? Never seen it nor heard of it.
Tyco?? Also, loved your B&W Rapido coaches. I agree: I want
to buy a ticket and ride the continent.

If you would like to check, that'd be great! A spare helicopter, van, or Mr. T?

XD Not sure - but I definitely need the van, helicopter, and Mr. T. 
That's great, Chops! Can't wait to see how they've been put to good use!

Nice A-team set! Looks like the original owner did a half decent job of installing the A-team stickers! I have a few pieces of the set, but the stickers are missing. To answer Chops question a few posts back, the Mask set is a Tyco from the mid-80s. Tyco made a number of TV/movie themed sets at that time (Rambo, GI Joe, Transformers, A-team, and the Mask).
Frank, I like those Gilbert cars!
My SotW is a custom job I finished up a few weeks back. This is the latest iteration of the Hornet, a named streamliner for my fictional Atomic Lake Railroad. The engine is an Athearn F7, while the three cars are Tenshodo shorty streamliners.

yeah its Tyco
came out the the mid 1980s about
M.A.S.K. = Mobile Armored Strike Kommand
Was a TV show where the vehicles would transform into weapons to fight the enemy Venom
there were toy vehicles for the show as well
Tyco also had, Rambo, G.I. Joe, Transformers & in the 1960s there was Petticoat Junction & freight & passenger sets for the former Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad
I have the G.I. Joe set or its the Rambo set but I had no stickers to it so I put US ARMY on everything
Loco never worked so I gutted it & made it into a dummy
course IHC had a Gobots train set too
Pretty sure Tyco had race sets for those mentioned as well 
the rare race set to get is Viper cause that show didn't even last a season

DaCheez,
Spiffy job with the engine and passenger cars. Is there a nuclear reactor on the other side of the ridge? FMI, after you've applied the decals (assuming they are), do you spray a clear coat to protect the paint and decals?

| Thanks guys! The lettering is decals, made with Word and printed on to decal paper. Once I'm happy with the placement on the car I apply decal softener and then hit the entire car with clear coat usually within 24 hours. I've found the decals can lift off otherwise. Those smooth-sided cars were dead easy to apply decals too.

I think everyone has answered your Mask question better than I can Chops. I came across the caboose at a show and it said Tyco on the bottom. Looks like a transformer type of car. I will take pics and show you...
