Heres my entry for the week. Its a TYCO 60 footer I did some light weathering on and body mounted some Kadee`s along with some added weight. I kept the TYCO trucks and cleaned them up so they would roll better and it is one of the best cars on my roster.

ILUVBUDWSR that looks great! Looks like just a little airbrush work, or did you use something else?
Since Alco Fan posted a hopper figured I'd throw these in there. Picked these two up off my rivet counter friend for cheap. I stored them for now since we don't have alot of room on the layout for them.

Yeah I have one of those cars too. I also have the brown Pennsylvania version as well as the black Chesapeake & Ohio car. I am looking for the other versions of the operating hopper car to go along with the operating hopper unloading trestle set #862 that I have. the set is new in the box and all the pieces are intact. The car in the set is a silver Virginian hopper. Plan to use this item on a layout in the future. Thanks for sharing this picture. badman55

I have that blue car, the brownish Pennsylvania car, the black Chesapeake and Ohio car, 2 Holly Sugar cars, and the silver Virginian that came with the trestle set. I am painting them all black, and adding custom decals, probably Norfolk Southern or Burlington Northern. I like the way black looks with my green Tyco Burlington loco.
