My SOTW offering is this "set" of 8 classic HO freight cars - 2 of them are Tyco's, obviously, and the rest are either LifeLike, Bachmann, or AHM. I got all of these in the same lot from a seller on OfferUp, at a great price. The Sara Lee 62' box car & California Sugar center-flow will be going to the RETRO TYCO collection, while the rest will serve the EVRR.

Whoa, Nelly! Nice, nice bevy of cars. I have not seen that "Plastics" hopper before, is that a Tyco product? The graphics on the C&H are extremely difficult to find in good condition, and yours appears to be mint. You might consider a light overspray of gloss cote to prevent flaking.
Well, as they say, one door slams shut in your face, and then the trap door opens beneath you. Having lost my insane bid of $165 for the Mantua Hooker 0-4-0 switcher, I got this entire set, plus two boxed Mantua repop coaches for $60.
I enjoy electric more than all other motive forms, so this really is a fine booby prize, if I can piece it back together in working order. The graphics do not appear to be decals, and the double ended shell on the locomotive is like nothing I have ever seen- which I love it.
Just got back from a nice trip to Q City, so no time for trains, back to work, work, work, eat and sleep.

No, the Shell Plastics centerflow hopper is a Bachmann, it was just in the wrong box.
Love that Hooker lot, Chops, and nice classic set, Frank!
