For me it would be this military train, probably from "Tin Can Alley." It was running Saturday 2/4 on the National Capital Trackers layout, Timonium MD GreatScale Train show. Ran well, too.

Who says "scratch building" is dead?
Something I put together last fall from my junk box and spare parts drawer:
Interesting how something very similar appeared in the Lionel catalog a while later!

check out the shipping cost.....
Gee, l missed that on I-80. Didn't get to the Cadillac Stonehenge, either. In real trains, it was a diesel loco with a string of unusual long flatcars with high seats on each end just parked on the prairie out in the boonies of SE Colorado. I figure it is an extraterrestrial recovery unit.
I remember a stuffed rabbit riding on a Lionel Standard Gauge Supermotor that seemed to appear at every train show I went to for awhile.
DANDOB-BILL: Just came across your video posting. Don't know how I missed it. Something came to mind while watching it; are those standard gauge or o-gauge cans? Great fun thanks for posting. Wayne
Wayne: I believe those are 10-oz. O-gauge cans. Standard gauge cans would be at least 29.5 oz.

Well, the shipping is "1st Class," maybe via ocean liner & Concorde/SST?
Let me get back to you on this question. I'm sure I'll have several candidates after "Old Car and Train Day" at Clem C's house tomorrow!
