Prototype stack train
Posted by dwbeckett on Saturday, December 17, 2011 10:35 AM

Near where I live is BNSF temp storage yard ( 4 tracks ) setting in it is about 60 stack car's all with 53 ft containers ( 120 total ) all  belonging to the same trucking company . So point I am trying to make is you can have as many of the same type of rolling stock no matter what are or who they belong to. and be totaly right.

As if this post matters

   Thanks Dave...for proving again that there is a prototype for everything! I like a line-up of identical stock, but I live to vary the types of rolling stock just for the variety of it also. Now I won't let anyone give me any grief for having a lot of identical stock.

If they don't beleve you tell them to go.................... look they find Coal & Grain trains all over the US. It's a shame the SP/UP PFE trains are gone.
