Okay man, I know you get a lot of crap about the dumpster-cam, but you're indoor shots crack me up even more. It's like a treasure hunt in each photo. Razor blades and a butter knife?

Seriously though, nice car. I don't know if I should say this on the forum, but I'm actually enjoying one of their products now.

I like the Pearl car Mike. Old school.

In case anyone missed it, my SOTW last week fits in here:

Aw, that Kronen car is so cute. Lucky man, shaygetz!

Been busy of late, volunteering with the election and celebrating another year of me. After last night, I'm suffering the second massive hangover inside of a week and what do I find you guys posting? Beer cars!


Above is an Athearn 50' NACC Hamm's Box car. It has weird stickyout coupler pockets. I got it because it was cheap - much like Hamm's itself, really. My head hurts muchly, I think I need to lay down soonly. Sayonara buds.

She was about 7 or 8 at the time and wanted so badly to give her daddy a train. Local hobby shops were few and far between, but I remembered a vendor at a local flea market had a couple European cars for sale, so I pointed Momma in that direction and got both from my little girl.

What a lovely story! At a guess I would say the wagon is Fleischmann, yeah? If so then you've sure got some classy flea markets in your neck of the woods. It's only broken Thomas the tank engine stuff round my way.
