After the idiot doing my video's had forgotten the Tyco Ajax hopper. I have made a new clip with that car added. Not sure how this Bachmann F7 is surviving this struggle day after day...

Go, Dog, Go! Lost count, but I think this is about 35 cars, mostly Tyco. I run this about once a
year, or so. All three units are powered with the voltage turned up to about 16 volts.

Nice videos, Walt and Chops!!!
Chops....what would you be willing to sell/trade one of those New Haven Tyco boxcars for (if at all interested in parting with them?) I'm looking for another that I can keep especially for service on RETRO TYCO.

Ahhh, each one has its own personality. Some came of the
Tyco assembly line in different shades, it would be like
giving away kittens, even though I have a plague of them.
BUT the good news is that next to the green BN boxcar, it
was one of the most common items Tyco produced, so I'm
told (Tony, maybe?), and they can often be spotted in the
junk section of hobby shops and train shows. I never paid
more than a buck or two for one.

| I noticed that years ago Chops. Every time I would buy some train cars in an auction it seemed to have one of those in it. They're everywhere! As for the green BN box car you mentioned, I have one of the painted versions that is really a nice looking piece!

Yeah, I know....I figured I would ask first though. I'll keep my eye open on Ebay - I'm sure I'll find another.
