One Steam Switcher just for you Mike. This belonged to my father. Can anyone id it? I checked again tonight, no markings on the bottom. The newest this could be is 1970 and it could be from the 50"s. Dad passed on in 1994 so I can't ask him.

My Favorite Locomotive:
I have many but this one is special. MRL #680. Though it's more like a "B" unit, I fell in love with it the moment I laid eyes on it in Livingston, Montana lashed up with a couple other SD45 and F45. You got to love MRL's old helper sets. This is my HO version that I created.
Show me your aged SD45.

Well, hands down, it's this one. My earliest (1964) brass loco, and still one of my best and most powerful runners, an Akane model of the Missabe M4 2-8-8-4 Yellowstone. This one's decalled as a 'never was' Rio Grande 3900 series.

This is an old piece of rolling stock OR building. Ambiguity intended. I bought it as one of the rare old-style craftsman kits mftd for N scale about 1975. It came with decal for ICG "split rail" supergraphic, not at all appropriate for this old wood car OR for my 1957-era layout. Looked and looked for a prototype and a decal.
Ended up using it as a retired railcar in service as storage shed at a creosote treating yard on my "old layout."
So.... show me. your "old layout."
I found these Athearn BB 3-dome tank cars at a train show a few years ago. The price on the box end was $2.35, so that probably dates them sometime in the 1950s. I fixed them up a bit with Kadees, metal wheels, a bit more weight and placards
Show me another old piece of rolling stock, locomotive or building
Snake Eye Bennett uses one as a storage bin for scrap metal.
Snake Eye's business was named after a real character in the small town where I grew up. He owned a parrot that knew more huh... colorful words than the average sailor. In good weather the bird stayed in a large cage on the front porch and would give pedestrians an earful as they came down the sidewalk.
Show me your oldest tank car.
superbeLets see another car used for a special load
These bottle cars are designed to haul liquid iron:
