That's an interesting conversion. A flat car converted to TOFC, (trailer on flat car.)
Show me another conversion, please.
Is it a freight car? Is it a passenger car?

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.

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.
