Well this brand new piece of equipment is heading West to its new home in the Rockies. It has been dropped off and picked up at several spots along the way, but will make it to its destination eventually.

Show me something you would have seen on the rails before 1920.

It's been 24 hours so I will post again.

Here imo is a 50's tank car. It looks like it just came out of the shop, but I'm basing it's age on the old Gulf ID. In the early 50's Gulf changed it's ID to what it is today.

 

Please show us a special purpose car.

Not grain Hoppers, but stock car hoppers (trying to avoid being detected by determined Easter Egg hunters)

Now back to some grain hoppers please.

Let's see more loco repowering.

Well, I didn't replace the motor but I had to make up new drive shafts for this Overland C. U. T. P1a electric. The ball ends were split.

While I was at it I installed a Soundtraxx Econammi heavy electric sound decoder.

Show me passengers waiting for a train.
