Betcha didn't know McCoy made a diner! Neither did I. But now you do. And it is a beaute! 
I know, why is more Youtube at the bottom of the blog? I'm working on the HTML to integrate more video onto the blog. I like the video watcher on the right hand side and I'd like to integrate more video albeit a bit more cleanly. So if you'll pardon the clutter.....Yes, this is a shot from my meager collection....
Just check out the paint and graphics on this McCoy boxcar. This is especially nice and they do appear from time to time on eBay. I was wandering around on Flickr and I found this. My guess is that this is the California Train Museum (Tom Sefton). Whatever it is I love this display.

Premier item. Kind of threw me for a loop when I saw it (and the cars) in the catalog. We're picking up speed on a European offerings. I'm glad to see it but I am confused as to why? Is MTH going to compete head to head with Marklin? Are they getting requests for European gear? I love the prewar Marklin and Fandor stuff.
I hope we see more of this.

Very nice. I do like the layout on this page a bit. I like not having to look on another page for the matching cars.

I'm trying to warm up to this format but it is just too cluttered. I am used to strong presentations in graphic arts and layouts. I wish MTH had broken this up a bit more cleanly.
Still, it's a ton of nice tinplate. I'm hoping that delivery will be sped up by fewer new product intros.

Here's where the tires hit the road. I'm probably going to order both flavors of the new green 390E. Almost every original Lionel has something wrong with it. I've seen one or two $5k versions with everything perfect. Otherwise there's always some kind of scratch on the tender or steamchest warp....
Check it out!

A wonderful set. I'm not sure why they put the race car set in their but they are both nice...
