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.
