I'm a sucker for a sale. Whether the item(s) needed or not; if it's one of my favorite consumer products and it's a really good sale, I'm buying.

The Lionel 6-19121 is the Union Pacific vista dome car from the '90s with silhouette window strips. They're the only smooth-sided offset dome cars Lionel has made in 15" length, so they make excellent donor cars for repaint projects.

Picked up one cheap on eBay without trucks or couplers. The seller lives nearby and had THREE more, so they came home as well.

Interesting factoid about this otherwise excellent car for its era: they are plagued with a paint defect that shows as thin, spider-web cracks in the yellow paint. All four have the cracks.
