Too new for my era but friggin' sweet.  I hope these Tropicana cars are really successful for BLMA.  The Juice Train is my favorite unit train.

Ya'll can thank me later...  ;)

I just finished this car about three weeks ago...before I realized the TPIX cars only have four digit reporting marks...really need to do better research next time... :facepalm: 

Since they are all foobs anyway, it's all good...  :trollface:

He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

Thanks for the support guys!  This is a fun project, and I'm excited about seeing long strings of these cars rolling around layouts and clubs.

How far off are these cars to the prototype? Are the real cars 73' or something?
