My COTW is this Athearn Rio Grande Caboose. I picked it up at a swap meet to go with my LOTW. I'm told that it's a purely fictional paint scheme, but then it's Rio Grande like the engines so I won't get picky.

Yes, I did. Not a fancy job, but I like to have a little patina on things. It kind of blends things into the scene if they're not too bright and shiny.

Nice plugger. Would that be a Tyco from the Consolidated Foods era?

Yes, that plugger would be a Tyco from the Consolidated Foods era, but it’s a promotional piece and not a standard catalog item.
