Last week I got a Silver Streak Set.
Today, Dec 30, I got another one not 30 minutes from my house. Truck warehouse is MINT and piggyback loader is still wrapped in plastic in its white box.

This is what happens when you diddle around on eBay. For reasons unknown to
myself, I dropped a minimum bid of $50 on this set a few years ago, and ended up
with it. It has all the hallmarks of a Tyco knockoff, and I'm still not sure to this
day who made this set, but it actually runs decently and stays on the tracks.
Who could ask for more?

Will, nice set -I'm envious.
Chops, I've been looking for that Sprite car for a long time. Now I know where it comes from.

Brian, I'd be surprised if there aren't other makes, like LL, that didn't put
out a Sprite car.

Nice sets WillV and Chops!!! WillV....finding that Tyco truck warehouse in mint condition is like finding gold. 
Chops. According to what I found here (https://www.amazon.com/vintage-express-limited-cherry-sprite/dp/b00a6uheik,) that Coca-Cola Train Set was made by Model Power. 
Here's my SOTW Offering:
Thanks to a recent transaction with Chops, I now have part of Bachmann's Hershey's Chocolate Train Set!!!! First and foremost, the Hershey's GP40, followed by the Reese's Pieces Hopper. I plan on outfitting both the hopper and Hershey's "Geep" with horn-hook couplers in the future, to be compatible with the majority of my rolling stock and for service on the Ephrata Valley Railroad.
Also, a Tyco Hershey Reefer (the chassis I will replace with the real deal,) "Washington Crossing the Delaware" box car, and last but not least...the Tyco Sanka Hopper (which was entirely a gift!!) Thanks again, Chops!
