It's not exactly rolling but it is OLD.  An N scale craftsman kit from ca. 1974.  I could never research or find proper lettering and never finished it as a car...

But I put it to use as a storage shed in a creosote treating plant.

Show me another wood-sided car.

We have been waiting for a couple of days again, so just to give a bump so it does not fall off onto page 2...

A couple of old boxcars; Mantua HW PRR 32351 and Athern Blue Box 24035  at Greenvale. Both updated and lightly weathered

Show me some more old rolling stock

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....

2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.

Thanks Jarrell
Every once & a while I get a good shot that I really like!
Even a good camera gets limited by a cheap wiggly tripod during a long exposure with poor lighting.

 Hey, Times UP!
Please Show Us Anything from your Layout or Modeling Workbench!!!

Show me something n(or someone) waiting.

 

The engineer on the switcher is waiting for the guy on the far right to finish his break, so he can drop off his loaded scrap gons and take away the empties.  The foreman [in the light blue shirt] is getting pretty impatient, too!

Show us some more heavy industry
