The Good Old AM 3-Bay Hopper | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Ho-hum, a run of the mill AM freight car.

Nuthin' special, right? Right...

Except when it's a Christmas present.

By brother and I usually exchange DVD's for Christmas and birthday's. He normally sends me quality movies while I usually send him movies that fall under the category of "If you want a movie really bad, we've got a really bad movie."

When I opened the package last night, when what to my wandering eyes should appear, but two rectangular boxes held in packing peanuts so dear. One for Christmas and one for my birthday next week. I opened the one, my present to seek...

So, with in was the aforementioned hopper, with scale wheels and a package of Kadee's to boot:

My brother's not a model railroader, so he does have to put out some effort to find these things and that makes it special.

I also know here's another AM car in the birthday wrappings (Next time, don't include the receipt, dear bruddah...) but I'm honor bound not to open it until my birthday.

Rusty
