Reefers are rolling:

More hopper cars, please.

 
An adventuresome railfan climbed the bridge over the North Fork Creek to get this head on view of a coal train passing through Bedford Falls.
 
 
Meanwhile his buddy on the ground got a shot of the tail end of the train emerging from the tunnel.

More interesting loads, please.

 

Here is a Railbox Boxcar on a flat car for repair:

The above scene was spotted on the Orlando N-Trak Group's modular N scale train show display layout.

Is that how they got the idea for intermodal freight?

Show me a building with something interesting on the roof.

How about some rooftop billboards.

I would like to see some more odd and/or unique loads.

This locomotive boiler probably wasn't so odd back in the day when railroad shops would routinely replace boilers and/or fireboxes:

I'd like to talk one of the 3D printer folks into producing a cast steel locomotive bed. I believe that would make for an interesting load. Something along these lines:

More interesting open-top loads, please.

More trucks of any type, please.

 

When I first began a layout, I had a difficult finding n scale trucks that didn't cost a fortune.  I found several pickups and a flatbed in a hobby shop with the price marked down.

 

Show me more trucks of any type, please.
