And here dragging a ore car special run for a hobby shop in Warren Ohio. This side celebrates the YS&T Brier Hill Works (in Youngstown). The other side celebrates the Campbell Works in Campbell/Struthers Oh a sub of Youngstown.

Hey Ron,
These look great! I didn't know Warren had a hobby shop. I thought the closet one to Youngstown was in Boardman. Such a rich history of steel in this area of the country.

Dave, a fellow forum member posted a pic of the ore car back in 2014. I contacted him for info. My last six-years in Ohio I worked in Warren. I recalled this hobby shop which as I recall had the same name as the little strip plaza located in. The info on shipping box is ASC on E. Market street. This was a special production car by Lionel for a "Catholic War Vets" fund.
Since YS&T represented home had to have it. Just like the set of YS&T slag cars Lionel made back in 2004.
