Major cool, guys. The photo of the chem car on the railroad bridge is a
wonderful mix of colors: yellows and greens. That it is Tyco makes it
even cooler. That Zenith piece is really neat on several levels: one
being that color TV was a really, really big deal back in my day.
One would pay a king's ransom for a bulky, heavy color set and we
were like all amazed.

| Nice cars, all. That Zenith car is really cool and brings back memories. I had one of those monster Zenith TVs until 2003 or so. It was working fine, so I thought "why bother getting rid of it?" When I moved, I decided not to bring that heavy sucker with me. It took 3 people to get it out of the house! Now that I know that car exists, I'll have to create a search rule for it.

| Zenith also incorporated the Bose sound into some of their TV sets in the 80s...

Ouch. Looks like I'll be going on a Zenith buying spree.
Busss, I did a search and sure enough, found this steam Zenith set: https://www.ebay.com/itm/HO-Scale-SPECIAL-RARE-TRAIN-SET-ZENITH-LIMITED-COLLECTORS-EDITION/312472130663?hash=item48c0ca5467:g:6uQAAOSwaRBcYkVP:rk:1:pf:1&frcectupt=true
Thanks, all!

Mike strikes again! I am fighting off a bad case of Zenithitis having seen
all these major cool pieces. Need this like a hole in my head. I bet I
could offer on that set for $50 and get it. Must. Not. Must. Sit. On.
Hands.
