You are most certainly correct Ben. It does smoke and that is where the bottle for the smoke liquid goes. Ben do you have a marx Hudson?

Nice Marx Hudson set!

My SOTW offering is 2 different variants of Tyco's RailBox 50' box car. I think there might even be a third....

The Marx set is really something else. The black and white on the engine and cars is quite elegant...the caboose looks like a toy by comparison.

2. Yellow with colored logo, silver roof and ends, black door.
3. Yellow with black logo, yellow roof and ends, yellow door
4. Yellow with black logo, yellow roof and ends, yellow door, and REFRIGERATION unit on one end.

I have never had a rail box car of any version. Not on my childhood layout or now. Nothing wrong with one, I guess it just never caught my eye...

As I previously stated, you know what happens when there are railbox cars about; busss makes his affinity for the jailbox car known!

I'm not too big on a JAIL box car. My layout is all about happy things. There is a jail in my Life-Life Police station but I give it no special attention. No one is going to be in it. It's just not for me... My layout represents the extreme fun and happiness that I had as a young boy, with my Tyco trains and slot cars...
