Let's see more kit-built photos...

 

Kit Parts for a Railyard Models PC X79 Boxcar.

Finished model, painted with Floquil PC Green and lettered with kit supplied decals. These 60' cars were financed by Kelloggs and used for hauling cereal products out of Battle Creek, MI and sent all over the country.  After Conrail they were relettered and eventually returned to Kelloggs.

Let see more kit built cars!

Show me your favorite boxcar.

.

This is one of my favorites, I doubt I could choose just one.

.

This guy is lettered with decals I received from one of my very first decal trades through the Rail Graphics trading list over thirty years ago. I used the smaller ones on an N scale car, but I still had the larger lettering for an HO scale car decades later.

.

I made the herald myself from bits of several different decals.

.

As always, click on the image for a larger view.

Show me a boxcar that you painted and decalled yourself.

I have so many, but this is a one of a kind boxcar!

NYC Experimental Scheme that predated the Cigar Band Herald by a couple of months, like this one better!

Show me your favorite boxcar.

This photo rewarded me with a second place certificate in the MCR division 2 Bring and brag two years ago.  So it holds a special place in my heart.

Let's see more of your favorite shots.

"Favorite scene"

Here is a scene from nearly 10-years ago. A West bound New York Central passenger train passes a short freight headed by NYC Mikado #9519 as it rounds the curve near the Farmers Union grain elevator.

Another favorite scene, please.

Ed .... A big thanks for restarting the January thread. .... Your request is an example of how we should make requests..... Requests should be easy for others to have a suitable photo . I think the rules should say that. People should not request obscure, hard-to-find items. 

I also suggest the rules say "If a person does not include a request, then the preivious request is stll in effect." 

One of my favorite scenes is Standing Falls with a covered bridge. 

 

Please show another favorite scene.
