I'm going to start this off an hour early.
Here is my SOTW, a Lionel 14260 set in excellent condition.

Fab Four, Mike. Those be classic Athearn Blue Box?
My SOTW are a bunch of Tyco Super Tankers I got from Tin Plate Henry's garage cleaning day. These old pieces track surprisingly well. Mostly.

Chops,
Nice vid, but quite a wipeout at the end. I couldn't make out the logo on the green tanker. Is that Tyco?

SNAFU Tubes: Tyco's 62-Foot Triple-Dome Tank Cars
I believe that one is more baby blue than green, the florescent light might be to blame, and I believe they are all Tyco. The blue one strikes me as an anomally, will recheck the brand.
I was trying to ease the train over the crossing track at a slow speed, but there was a problem in the blocking and it took off like a bat out of Hell, thus the wipe out. By then it was getting onto 1 am, so I gave up trying to reshoot the scene, by the time I had collected all the derailed tankers. Thanks for watching, and not sleeping through it!
