Please Show Me a Passenger Combine, Consist, or Cars!

How about a work shot of the conversion of a Bachmann combined into a Santa Fe Combined 28xx class.   Since they were used on Mixed trains they were called Cabbage (Caboose Baggage).

Or maybe one of a Rivarossi Coach into a Santa Fe cabbage 26xx class.

Show Me (having spent 4 years in Missouri) something I won't believe unless I see it.

Show me something that is both "this" and "that."

How about a "torpedo boat" GP9?  The B&O used these over the road as both passenger units and freight locos.

Now show me something that is neither of the above.

Green Linde boxtank, a very minor modification (side sill, end access door) / repaint of an R-T-R car.

Is it a boxcar or is it a tankcar? YES, both.

Show me something that is both "this" and "that."

Pictured is a beer car advertising Old German beer. It was brewed in Cumberland MD and happens to be the first beer I was introduced to.

 

 

 

Let's see another "advertising"  box car

I'm sure this is not at all what you meant, but it WAS on my layout when I took this picture, and I did get it for FREE.  When I started teaching history, I noticed a shop teacher had some mastodon or mammoth fossils sitting around his shop class and I asked if I could borrow some for a "historical evidence" discussion.  He said he had lots of them and gave me a 12,000 year old fossilized mammoth thigh bone, 15 pounds worth, and a few smaller ones.  I used them once a year in the prehistoric America introduction to the course, and stored them between times in my home workshop where I build sections before carrying them into the train room inside.  When the stickum came loose on my foam layout surface (arrow), I re-stickumed it and weighted it with the most convenient weight.  (Though not the most conventional one...)

Show me something CONVENIENT on your layout.

Here you go. NYC Niagara #6015 at the head of a streamlined passenger train.

How about another streamliner with a steamer at the head?

Remember its your railroad
