Here's my COTW offering:


The hard-to-find Pepsi 62' box car by Tyco - I got this one at a great price in the midst of a lot which I posted for SOTW a bit ago. Looks great on RETRO TYCO!

This weeks car is a scratch built USMRR 26' Boxcar from the 1860s. The plan was in a Model
Railroader magazine.

Is that a recent build? The wheels and couplers look like pretty recent products.

Intermountain.

First of three AT coaches. Need a AT box car thingy to haul the automobiles. Any
suggestions? Something like this, but I can't find it on eBay. Who, if anyone,
made one? Or can a 62' or longer car be painted and modified a bit? But I am
seeking the privately owned AT, not Amtrak.
