That's an impressive rebuild, Corey.

Mine are a little more straightforward than that, but here goes:

#16 started out as an unlettered Blackstone C-19

And turned into this:

 

#51 is a Bachmann Spectrum Modern Baldwin 4-4-0 that looked like this out of the box:

And became this:

Show me more rebuilt rolling stock.

G Paine
Show me your oldest freight car

This was actually not quite that easy for me since I bought my first 30 freight cars all at the same time in 1989, a mess of Athearn bluebox and MDC with a few Accurail kits thrown in.  I repainted many of them, I think this bluebox 50ft gon was one of them (they didn't come painted and lettered in B&O IIRC).  In any case, it's the oldest one that I've got a photo of.

Show me a filthy or beat-up freight car.
