 Kit not done.

 Show me a rail crossing with a 1970 Plymouth Super Bird sitting waiting at crossing. OK, if you have to, forget about the Super Bird, but I have seen the picture before and it is not mine.

Well, I've got one piggyback car on this train, just passing the grade crossing.  This is my original HO train set, around a half-century old.  It's an Athearn.

I'll bring the divergent paths back together with a "tongue in cheek" business name, too:

Show me something.....broken

This icehouse can handle only one reefer at a time, but its main purpose is to supply ice to other icehouses along the line.
