Well, we can't let this thread die now can we?
I'm concerned about the originator of this thread, jacon 12 otherwise known as Jarrell. His last post was several months ago and I'm afraid we have lost another excellent modler. I hope and pray not!
Pictured below is a vinegar car labeled National Fruit Products. It is also used for pickles. N F P sells apple products under the brand "White House". Maybe you have seen them on store shelves
Please show us another specialty car.

Is it a freight car? Is it a passenger car?
Here's a former PRR X-31 box car converted to a P-30a troop sleeper. Many were later returned to freight service after the War.
I'll have to update the photo with one that has the lettering applied
Show me a freight car that has been modified or converted in some way.
That's an interesting conversion. A flat car converted to TOFC, (trailer on flat car.)
Show me another conversion, please.
If you fella's don't mind, here's a more recent photo of the above p-30a and a friend:
OK, thanks for allowing me to post updated photos... now back to Grampy's request.
Here's a gondola converted into an open-air excursion car.

When you asked for something narrow gauge, I bet you didn´t expect this:
It´s the HOm model of a Rhaetian Railway class Ge 4/4 II BoBo electric, made by Bemo of Germany. The Rhaetian Railway is a network of metre-gauge lines in Switzerland, operating such famous trains as the Glacier Express and the Bernina Express.
Show me some more narrow gauge.
Can't pass this one up! A 2 foot gauge Sandy River & Rangely Lakes Forney and MEC standard gauge pass by each other on Boothbay Railway Village layout

CBTPart of the 1986 Coke limited edition paseenger train.
What on earth is that?
Looks like a cheap model of a JNR Shinkansen bullet train, painted in a fantasy scheme mix of Santa Fe´s war bonnet livery with Coke decals added to it.
Call it a limited edition and sell for real $$$!
Sir MadogWhat on earth is that?

Hey
Some how this photo has always apealed to me. Working hard to get their shipment home. The box car is off on a siding in a commercial district. The truck is weathered but I never got around to the rail car.
Anyone else have a small scene that they have a soft spot for?
Enjoy

Show me the most challenging part of your layout.

Most challenging was wiring the main control panel on my layout. 16 6-position double-pole rotary switches with a DPDT toggle switch for each to use for an on-off switch for each block. Three other panels only have 5 switches, and a fifth panel only has three.
Show me a water effect (river, lake, flood, etc.).
