BRVRR Kevin, Based on the looks, lines and simplicity, I was thinking that your caboose had its origins with the PRR. Just a guess.
Kevin,
Based on the looks, lines and simplicity, I was thinking that your caboose had its origins with the PRR.
Just a guess.
Not a PRR Cabin Car, the closest thing to what Kevin has is the N5, N5a cabin cars but the cupola is offset on the PRR Cabin Car and the steps are wrong as well. Closest thing I can tell is the NH NE-6 and its clones that found their way over a number of roads.
By the way thanks for all the nice comments on my cars.
Gary, like you steel mill, looks like a real revenue producer.

Rule 1: This is my railroad.
Rule 2: I make the rules.
Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
Wow !... This was a great Weekend Photo Fun .... Thanks to everybody who participated.... Each of you deserves a lot of kudos.
I commented on a couple of posts early in this thread, and I'll try to include everyone now.
Jimmy .... Have fun with your bridge project. Looks like a good plan.
Mike Middleman ... Thanks for commenting on my photos. The phto with 462 looks real. Nice Turntable.
Mike SE WI .... The SD45 is looking good ... Did you say your birth year was 1900 ? LOL ... I like your quonset hut.
George ... You have 4 interesting photos. Waterfalls, Ball signal, wellcar with load, and paint factory. Each is outstanding.
Kevin ... Thanks for commenting on my photos and the complement. You've been busy I see. I like the caboose, and the freight cars.
Don ... Your Turtle Creek Central boxcar looks great.
Ed ... Thanks for the kind remark. Your roundhouse interior is fabulous. The kit bashed switch tower looks great.
Terry TX .... Your buildings look great. As I said, I like your caboose lighting project.

Peter ... The chain link fence is very well made.
Robert ... The Coors Beer plant in Golden, CO has shipped a lot of feight by rail over many years. You did a good job modeling it.

Not a freight car, but there is something missing on this model, that I missed entirely!
Guess?
"44" beneath the cab window?
middleman "44" beneath the cab window? Mike
You got it, I still have to put that number on the locomotive, but the other side has it.
