Reply to "Show Me your Flat Car Trains"

Well, this pic is from 3 years ago.  I was running a double loop on the den carpet with my grandson at the time.  He had given me a bunch of toy Caterpillar tractors as a Christmas gift, he was only 5 at the time, and we just had to put them on flat cars.  I found 3 Wisconsin Central flats somewhere for sale, and we wired them down.  The only one he did not give me was that first CAT tank unit.  I found that at a store we had in town called 'Dad's Cats', run by a retiree of Caterpillar who had it stocked with just about every CAT made tractor, crane, bulldozer, anything CAT made offered in model form in various scales by any manufacturer, plus things like the live steam stationary steam engines by Wilesco and others. This particular pic must be somewhere in carpeted FLA as they are being pulled by a blue FEC GP7, but it must have been prestrike as a blue bay window caboose is on the end.
