Here's my AOTW offering:
"Yourtown Fire Company's" Mack CF pumper, manufactured in HO-Scale by IHC. It is seen here being delivered new to its FD recipients, on 1 of my 3 Autoloaders. :)

Nice extra use of the auto loader, RP. I have a bunch of those converted to Athearn trucks and Kadee couplers for my AMC auto train consist. My AOTW's are a set of 1961 Chrysler cars made by Revell in 1/87 scale. They came as a set of 7, I found 6 of the 7 at my train shop this past week, my AMC buddy in PA is rebuilding a '61 New Yorker 2-dr HT from a crap pile. Not many 61 chrysler diecast models are out there, I was lucky to find this one at my shop and had first crack at it.  Here are 4 of the 6 I got.

The Pennsylvania Railroad had exactly one experimental boxcar, 87 feet long I believe, designed to haul 2 ladder trucks from an American LaFrance plant.

Wow! I didn't know about that one either! Have seen a 1950's photo, though,
of a NYC automobile box car involved in a bad derailment. There was like
this brand new Cadillac or something, mushed like a bad slinky hanging out
of it...
Anyhows, this terrific Lesley piece is from our friend RP Model Railroaders,
the Wheeler Dealer. RP got me to get my first Matchboxes, with this piece,
that I once owned when I was five. Oddly, I had a trailer like this back in the
day and was fascinated by it. In more recent times, I had a 1960's travel
trailer, and it was pink, so I had to have this. Thanks RP! Great trade!
