Here are a few Tyco/ Mantua operating hopper cars. This tray has 2 levels and another tray that will cover it. SO this makes my car of the week the Tyco operating hopper.

Now we know where all the operating 3 bay hoppers went to!

I'm a B&M guy myself. Used to see loaded strings serving the
Mt. Tom Power plant in Northampton, Massachusetts.

I was hoping this would've arrived before Christmas, but something's been screwy with USPS lately (the pandemic combined with the holiday rush, obviously) and so it didn't arrive until today. Oh well, I'll use this next year...

A new Lionel HO Christmas freight car! It's the old Model Power heavyweight flatcar with containers (as Lionel acquired the Model Power molds and assets from MRC a couple of years ago.) Lionel upgraded it with knuckle couplers and what appear to be metal wheels! Lionel will be coming out with more upgraded Model Power flat cars during the coming year, and I plan to get a few more as well!
