Looks like I get to start this weeks COTW. My cotw is a set of Binkley Combine & Coach.
I got these off of eBay in rather bad shape and had to restore them.

Thanks. Previous owner had about a 1/4 inch of emerald green on them.  Took
forever to get it all off.

Nice job Oldtimer!
My COTW offering is a purchase from this morning's perusing through eBay's Buy-It-Now/Best Offers. I made the seller an offer of $5,75 (+ $4.25 s/h) and he/she accepted for this Ulrich B&O Piggyback flat car and trailer.

Splendid pieces, on and all. I had been searching for this piece
since 1991, it was lost by movers then, I had originally purchased
it in 1975. Thanks to a little help from my friends on the
UK Model Railway Forum, it was again located. Here it is,
all these years later:
An Electrotren 8 plank wagon with olive oil jugs. Odd? That's why I like it!

Superb cars this week, guys!! Congratulations on some great finds.
Here's my COTW offering:
My very first Exxon Oil triple-dome tanker, by Tyco. A second will be arriving early this week (obtained on Ebay) and a 3rd was just won on Ebay today for $0.99. Stay tuned!

** Today I found an old Wabash gondola by Penn-Line. It still appears to be in good condition. It is a nice addition to my Wabash set which is also a Penn-Line set.
