Here's my COTW offering:

One of my Tyco favorites - the Oscar Mayer billboard reefer car.

That reefer looks absolutely brand new RP! Nice photo.

My COTW is this custom painted Mantua bobber caboose. It is nice and heavy.

RP, thats a nice reefer! Like redwoods said, looks almost brand new!

Redwoods, I love all the seperate parts on that cabooty. Really makes it stand out. Are you going to remove the cast on grab irons on the sides of the caboose? Looks sort of funny that way.

Yeah it does sorta look funny that way. Other than replacing the couplers with Kadees, I'm not sure how much I want to fiddle with it. The most I'll probably do is remove the decals and letter it for my logging road (Big Pine Lumber Co, same one that Cox used on their set).

Nice BN Piggyback set, Walt! NICE bobber caboose, Redwoods!

Yes, my Tyco Oscar Mayer reefer is one of my prized possessions - I got it NIB, so that behooves me to take good care of it.

Oh, Ok! Maybe just take an x acto and scrape, then add a little weathering in the corner. I'm interested to see it in Big Pine livery!
