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!
Burington had two slogans on its paint sceme for switchers and road switchers. The "Everywhere West" slogan appeared on most CB&Q freight cars in the 1940's and 1950's.
Here are both slogans on SD7's.

doctorwayneSince slogans on frieght cars have always been popular, please show us some more.
"Mainline Of The Midwest"
Please show me another slogan.
gmpullmanLet's see yet another slogan or billboard reefer, please.
I used to have lots of cars with slogans, but when I back-dated my layout, many of them were too modern to use, and were either sold-off or re-painted and re-lettered. Here's one, of dozens I once owned, which likely would have originated early in WWII...just a year or two after my layout's current timeframe...

Let's see yet another slogan or billboard reefer, please.
SeeYou190 Thanks for the compliment Wolf. That is a "Scrap-Box-Special" of my own creation just made of junk I had lying around. The body is a Model Die Casting Overland Old Time Combine. The floor and coupla are from an Athearn Steel Caboose. The roof is from an Intermountain Boxcar kit that received a Viking Roof from DesPlaines Hobbies. I am very happy with the way it turned out.

You did a very nice job on it. It looks like it always was that design. I would never have guessed that it was pieced together from scraps. Please post photos when it's done, I look forward to seeing it painted and decalled. Keep up the good work.
Wolf359 SeeYou190 Cheating here to get this thread moving again after our delay. This STRATTON AND GILLETTE caboose will be red when it is finally completed and painted, but it is not red right now. Show me your caboose! -Kevin If I may go slightly off topic for a moment, that's a pretty cool drover's caboose. What make is it?

Garry requested:
Heartland Division CB&QMore slogans, please.
ROUTE OF THE GHOST TRAIN!
... All Aboard ...!
I don't think anyone here gets how darned funny that slogan is supposed to be. I have posted this car several times before... no responses at all. I think I dove down so far into the depths of Nerd-dom for this joke that I cannot recover.
VINDICATORS FOREVER! Alan Rails, AKA "Ghost Train":
His parents were run over and killed by a radioactive train. As a result he has the superpower to summon a ghost train by saying the magical phrase and blowing the radioactive steam whistle he wears around his neck.
That is too funny.
Show me another slogan please.
Slogans on a Burlington reefer and on a Schlitz reefer.
More slogans, please.

Wayne... Nice work with your kit-bash combines !
Here is a Baggage / Dorm for the Empire Builder.
Please show a slogan on railroad equipment.
gmpullmanPlease show another combine.
Combines are among my favourite passenger cars, and this is one of them...
It was originally a Rivarossi diner, but with a relatively short railroad, wasn't needed as such, so I shortened it and made a few other adjustments.
Here's another one, still "in progress"...
More combines, please.
doctorwayneShow me a passenger car, specifically a combine, please.
A combine is a rare beast, indeed. Especially one with an RPO apartment.
IMG_9785_fix by Edmund, on Flickr
On the PRR this is a MPB70.
Please show another combine.
Wolf359...that's a pretty cool drover's caboose. What make is it?
It looks like a Model Die Casting caboose, with a cupola from an Athearn steel caboose, while the roof looks similar to those on boxcars from Red Caboose.
Rather apt, if that's the case.
Here's a somewhat re-worked bay window caboose, from Athearn...
Show me a passenger car, specifically a combine, please.
SeeYou190 Show me your caboose! -Kevin
Before the Jade Green the NYC painted their bay window cabooses in mineral red paint.
Need another caboose!
gmpullmanAnother caboose in any color, sans red.
gmpullmanThat stack of pulpwood looks excellent, Bear
The modelling on that unit was done by my late friend , Hans Hubner. He had an eye for getting stuff looking right.

Steam to the rescue! Maybe not too oddball since the PRR required helpers frequently. But it sure would have been fun to be trackside to see this combination
