My SOTW will be my set of Tyco/Mantua HO Great Northern Freight cars, which go perfectly with my deluxe diesel. Currently I'm missing the green Tyco GN pulpwood flat, as well as the Mantua GN caboose. The pulpwood flat is an easy find, however the caboose looks to be difficult. There's one on 'the site's for $89. I've never spent that much on a locomotive though

I also have this Bachmann Great Northern Log Car. This particular car does not have the cleanest track record for me though. It sits too high, leading to trains breaking apart. It also has a tendency to wind up like this:


My Tyco Crane has a tendency to derail as well, so I'm guessing heavy six axle cars just have problems.

I had a similar problem, turned out to be the wheels were actually
out of round. Switched out the wheels to metal and no more
problem. Beautiful set.

My unusual set. I had no idea that I had 4 virginian hoppers until I was opening my final few cars in the drawer today...
