Here's my COTW offering:
A brown Rock Island RR gondola - made by Roco, I believe - currently hauling lumber on the layout's outer line.

That is a great, classic piece. The load looks meticulously cut.
Nice find.
Going to double dip with my two Riudoso finds:
AHM
Athearn (!)
Image quality is vastly better thanks to scsshaggy's suggestion to use
better lighting. What a difference.

Wow! Nice score, MB. Who made it? Varney? Gas refrigerators- those
went the way of the horse and buggy!

Apologize if I didn't mention who made it

it might be missing those air tanks on the bottom

Picking through my BIG billboard haul at last weekends Bunker Hill, WV train show, I am throwing this out for some love and appreciation. I found a Lionel guy wanting to get rid of a box of HO cars, most billboards, many Tyco, ended up paying under $1.50 a car. Got some nice stuff, most mint, none boxed. So, here's the first of many in the coming weeks.  Bottoms up!
