Central Operating Lines is a Long Island club now located in Bohemia.  I know the club had tank cars and woodside reefers produced by Weaver in the past, I'm not sure if they had other cars produced or are still having club cars produced today.  The club is now in it's 5th home. the cars were produced when the club was located in Ronkonkoma, it's 4th location and each car came in 4 versions, one for each home, Amityville, Babylon, Holbrook and Ronkonkoma.  I became aware of these cars when I attended one of their shows at the Ronkonkoma Bingo Hall.  The reefers were painted in a scheme reminiscent of the NYC MDT reefers.  I bought an Amityville Farms reefer because I lived next door in Massapequa and I thought it would look good running with m MTH RK die-cast NYC MDT reefer.  I had forgotten about these club cars until recently when I saw both a this reefer and a Waste Oil tank car on eBay.IMG_3521IMG_3522

Next up while not the actual club cars these are the loads from the club cars.  1995 seemed to be a big year for TCA club cars.  In addition to the Lionel aluminum passenger car set the TCA also had a K-Line 5 car intermodal spine car unit train made up for the convention in Seattle.  These are the containers from that set.IMG_3548
