Well technically it's an Athearn, but no doubt in the spirit of all the billboard cars that made Tyco (in)famous:



Now I don't feel so silly lettering my Tide and Oreo cars into the actual STC fleet. I thought I actually came up with a plausible reason for doing so, and now it seems I was just ahead of the curve a bit

Wonder if the WSOR could be talked into painting a Jello or Old Dutch car...?

I think Horizon Hobbies is selling it, I know I've seen it online. It may have been Walthers, check both of their sites

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.
"I love your catenary!"
Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
