What is the Tyco-Gilbert association? I didn't know they were connected.
Drooling on that mint state Piggy Back, Walt. Nice chlorine piece, Mike, hope that don't derail!!

Nice cars, as always, everyone!
Here's my COTW offering:
Double-dipping once more. Recent acquisitions-
First, an Athearn BB assembled Pennsy bay-view caboose, and below it, an old Mantua PRR Maintenance-of-Way Bunk car

Interesting pieces, and those old time coaches make me wonder:
I got a couple of those non-celestory style coaches in CP, as well.
I don't recall they were labeled as Gilbert. Did Tyco market their
own, as well?

Nice pick-up Frank! I finally have a pair as well to go with the ~3 engines I have.
Since taking this picture I had sold the middle one shown, but I picked up another with a broken frame. The seller issued a full refund to me after I informed him of his lack of packing material provided. I really was not looking for a full refund, but it was a very nice and well received gesture.
