| In my opinion I think the Virginian unloading hopper is the coolest piece of the remote controlled Tyco accessories. I never liked the remote control accessories as a kid but I respect them now but don’t have any on my layout .

I got these off e-bay for $9. Some of the stacks are bent or broken, but still not a bad deal for 9 bucks.

Good grab, Yardmaster, that stuff typically sells for the
king's ransom. This will add a lot of variety to the layout.

I always loved that parking garage you gotz, Busss. Post that again, it was
really, really cool.
That Virginian is major league cooldom, love everything posted. I dare you,
Shark Master, post us a video of that Virginian doing her coal dumping
action!! Or better yet, a string of those (maybe 4 or 5 is way plenty) of
those being pulled by your Virginian with matching caboose!
I'm going to dip in with a swan. Yeah, I painted it myself, so it is not
the world's best swan, but I like how the pic came out in the moat of
Castle Henley. If I tried to paint on a orange beak, I'd
probably turn it into a flamingo. Quit while ahead is my motto.
