This is a custom painted Varney 36' hopper in PRR. It was painted back before a Varney would have been collectible.

Sweet...my Varney hopper, from a police evidence clearing spree. Apparently the box lot was part of some investigation that, when finished, an officer dropped it by our club. Being the only one interested in old trains, I took it home and fixed it up. My Sof76 C430 came from the same lot.
Note the end lettering, not a common practice on models 'til much later...

It appears we are going back in time this week. Heres one from my youth. The matching coach and baggage rest on the vault shelf beside it.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
