if you go off of whats on my layout it would be flatcars, but in reality I'm rather fascinated with crane wreckers but my favorites still are the dome cars of old...

   Have fun with your trains

I voted for baggage car. For some reason, mail trains appeal to me.

I'll take any car I can get, but I appreciate high-end passenger equipment. Coaches and Lounge/Obs. in the day. Dinner in the Diner, and then to sleep and travel in saftey & comfort.
The business car is a combination of ALL of these, and will go where (you?) want it to go. A very long time ago I was a guest on Great Northern's A11. I still have photos and deligntful memories of that brief experience.
