Nice! I really like the billboard cars. I've been picking up several myself off eBay lately. Trying to get a Monopoly set but always have to check on the bills first. My wife KNOWS I want the Monopoly train, however - maybe Christmas?
That Sanka car is awesome! Need to look for one myself.

| Wow, you robbed them. Those Mantua Box cars, especially the THB are very nice. Getting a solid NH logo is tough, real tough.
