Here is what I picked up today at the Merchant Square Mall show today.
A NIB IHC Conrail GG1 and a early Brown Box Tyco F9 (I needed the shell).
This is a nice Mantua aluminum 6 car Amtrak set.
An earlier Bachmann Metroliner set.
Another Bachmann 3-car Metroliner set.
Toptrain I was looking for you there, but I didn't recognize you.

Is the Pickle car rare?
I didn't think there was a lot of Ho there compared to the past shows.

From the Merchant Sq Show. My wife found the Howard Johnsons (Tyco/Pola) while I was looking through some other stuff. She also picked out the "Chipped Chopped Ham" because she remembers likeing it when she was growing up in PA. The Tyco Dots and Mantua Milkey Way are from my picks - Hmmm all food or food related

The pickle car is a standard Revell car. Many were made. Mow the GG1 here is a one of a kind. It is the original, first one built. The only one made with all body panels rivetted. All others were welded. As a matter of fact it's nickname is " Old Rivetts" #4800 .
