I've had this car for a while, added freight and 2 hobo's. It's a Tyco GN, pic is a little fuzzy.

I like that Rock crane. I finally got one at a train show last year.

A couple of this weekend's haunt finds:



Always been one of my favorite schemes in all of railroading, and been wanting a suitable model for a while. Bev-Bel paint on an Athearn boxcar. For $2 it was a no-brainer. But maybe not as cool as this next one:




I think I'm going to reletter this car for Saint Canard Midland MOW service. Either weed spraying or riot control, haven't decided which would be more appropriate.

Just make sure that the chemicals you use won't harm your workers in the future (ie agent orange and ddt)

Flamethrower, nuff said. My friend owns a version of that B&O boxcar but its battery powered (still on the orginal battery oddly enough) and makes generic steam sounds. I've always wanted to take it to a club, secretly stick it on the back end of one of their trains and walk away haha.

Hey there GoingInCirclez, I have one of those spray tank cars as well, or at least my son has it. It is blue and it reads, United States Air Force. It is one of his many military train pieces.

That one is unique! I have seen one of those before, but it has been awhile. I have the Santa Fe version, as well as the boom tender that came with it.
