Here's my COTW offering:


A custom Proto Series 50' High-Roof Reefer Box Car, decorated for Dunkin' Donuts. I obtained this box car on Ebay from a seller that has done some pretty amazing work on custom train cars, this one being no exception. So far, the Kadee-style couplers have prevented me from operating it on the Ephrata Valley Railroad, but I'll develop something.

By the way, I am a proud Dunkin' Donuts crew member, working full-time this summer.

thanks it going to RP SOON!
Everyone has said to hold on to that caboose but I can't
I know its a rare piece for some odd reason but meh I'll get another one

its not a merger piece
the Chessie System was a merger of B&O C&O & WM from 1972 to 1986 then they merged with the Seaboard/L&N to form CSX in 1986

so thats why you see the Chessie System cars & locos with B&O C&O & WM on them

RP,

That Dunkin' Donuts boxcar is neat. It looks like the artist took their custom work one step further by changing the road number to begin with DUNC.

We know where you hard earned money will be going!

Another small-scale contribution this week, this is a Maisto On Track tanker that just officially FINISHED converting to actuall TT trucks and axles this weekend. I bought quite a fiew of these many years ago, hoping to convert them to TT. This is my first final completed unit. I found the trucks and axles on Ebay in Japan, and bought some to try . I think they'll work. Next up is a hopper car to convert.

Jeff, Apparently, Bachmann made the Zenith train set for one year in 1982. But I have not confirmed that info...
