MY SOTW will consist of four entries, which I had time to complete today.
The first will be a Boxcar in a EVRR 60th Anniversary scheme, which will truthfully celebrate 6 years of service on the Ephrata Valley, indicated by the cars number.
My second item will be a CHILLINER refrigerated reefer for the EVRR. This car will bring frozen food items into Pennsylvania.
The last two entries will consist of a pair of coal hoppers for the EVRR, also somewhat hinting at the 6 year Anniversary.

That's good to hear. I may add a 'THE' to the Ship Pennsy Coal hopper.

Hey A-Aron. I like that Chil-liner. That's a clever idea and well-thought out scheme. I think I'm going to return the favor and steal that idea!
Although am I ripping it off from you or RP the CEO of the EVRR???
But I did grow up in Ephrata, PA and I used to walk and ride mountain bike on the actual tracks in and around Ephrata. So that makes it less of a crime if I steal that...

No go ahead! I'm sure you could do it much better justice than I did...

| It does, I think that's how it is on the box. I wish that I had a spot on my layout where I could set it up like that

My SOTW is this "set" of 3 AHM steel coil cars I recently acquired.

nice
I have 1 or 2 of those cars
I read the clamshell part would often get bent or jammed so it wouldn't close all the way

Bam, bam Bamos! That’s a classic. Note the brass track. Lot of folks hate brass track, but I find it works just as good as NS, and that coppery patina is nice.

He had a rock island Lines Set that I also bought . The box on that one is not in as good a shape.
