Finally got a chance to go down and run my Entenmann's Train after getting the METCA GP7 LC engine and caboose. They make the perfect "bookends" to the Entenmann's Freight cars from LITTLE and RMLI - operating boxcar, vat car, gondola, tank car, hopper & TOFC.

Love that train! So many memories going to the entemens outlet store on woodhaven Blvd with my dad back in the day. Even though most of the stuff was dated or about to pass expiration, it tasted so good! I can definitely see myself having an entemens crumb cake, some coffee, and running that train.
You're making me hungry! I want some chocolate chip cookies.
Is that every Entermann's car that you're aware of?
Nice looking consist. Thanks for the video.
Nice train! While it is moving at what I believe is O gauge speed another video at a slower speed or a still to see all the rolling stock would be nice.
Love it!

Very nice, and tasty too. 
However, an important piece of housekeeping. Correct the title and the spelling in your post. It’s Entenmann’s. Correct spelling makes it a lot easier for people to find posts through searches. Beyond that, proper names should always be spelled correctly and are easy to verify with simple Google searches.
Nice train. A truck like this would be a good addition. This one is 1/64th (S) scale from AHL. Perhaps there are some in 1/43 or 1/50 as well.
Tom,
Nice model! FYI...The METCA Tractor-Trailer Car does come with a white tractor in the Lionel box, having tiny Entenmann's lettering on the door.
I agree with Jim R about the need to change the thread title for easier searching. Ironically, I was able to take advantage of misspellings when I was trying to locate the hard-to-find cars at the auction sites. I would also search on "Entemans", "Entemanns" and "Entenmans" as common misspellings that auction sellers would use. It saved me money because hardly anyone else bidded those offerings 
Bruce, that is really interesting about the misspellings. I never thought about searching that way.
That’s great! I have an Entenmann’s box car, TOFC, and tractor.

You are correct. My bad. I didn't pick up on the auto complete spelling it wrong. I should have looked a little closer.

Just watched a show The Food that Changed America and it featured Martha Entenmann and how she built her empire. That was quite the woman, had the largest bakery in the world at one time. It said the factory could bake 300 pies at a time in 30 minutes. She sold it for $233 million, worth a billion dollars today. Very impressed. Don't know if I've ever had any of the product that I can recall, but a lot of other people sure have.
Thanks Bruce!

Interesting train, or at least what I could make out from it. You had the train going so fast around the layout, it was difficult to get a good look at each car. Then when there was a close view of the speeding train, most of it was blocked by the railing of the bridge it was crossing over. 😳
Nevertheless, it looked liked an awesome train.
