This might be the first quadruple COTW.....lol
My COTW offering is this interesting blue 40' Florida East Coast "Speedway" box car.

Those three targets are a remarkable collection. The FEC, "Speedway to America's Playground"
is a great piece, so unique, never seen the like of any of these pieces, this week.
I enjoy this old Trailer Train caboose. I like the old school look and the bump for a smoke jack
and that it documents a bit of rail history.

Good stuff Erik, but I'm going to have to ask you to "Moooove on over" and make room for another triple tanker
And just a word of caution to you younger guys starting out in this hobby:
Too much of this
and you'll have too many of these

I've had that Sohio since the 70s. It was a luck of the draw purchase by a younger me who just wanted a big freight car. At the last trainshow in December I saw one for sale for $65!
They're getting outrageous.

That is my own creation- the Pentatanker. Unfortunately it was lost in a hobby shop fire where it was on display. To the left of it is an articulated unit I call the Franken-Tanker.
Don't fret, I have a new tanker in the works that will positively blow your socks off- even if they are bolted on.

The Pentatanker requires a bit more ROW clearance around curves, but like all Tyco triple tankers- the trucks swivel 360 degrees making it an easy travel around any radius.
And anyone can make these. Simply open the top and bottom halves, remove the weight and make a few cuts and glue them together, remembering to add the weight again before closing up. A little putty, sanding and paint and you have just joined the ranks of Tyco Design Staff!
