as soon as I typed that I kept wondering about that yellow NYC car. So downstairs I went...and sure enough....
pretty nice shape but the roof has a decent amount of scratches, and it didn't have couplers, so I added a pair of Lionel Latch couplers. Just shows how little time I had down there this summer.

Nice! It’s good to be busy Dave! Your green one looks great! Mine has a little litho flaking and some paint loss on the roof. There was a yellow one on eBay with automatic couplers? I didn’t even know those existed. One needed a spring. It was over $100, so I passed. I’m sure one will come along...

I have three tank cars. I think I’ll keep the extra cars which I normally don’t do. One of the tank cars is a little rough, but still nice. I could let that one go. It sat on my wife’s garage sale table, and no one noticed it.
