This NYC wide vision caboose is an Athearn BB kit. I modified it some by applying .005-inch clear styrene for window glazing and installing metal wheels and lighting.

More cabooses/ cabeese please.

Nifty caboose Lone Wolf! Certainly not ordinary.

Here is another scene from the Scale Rails of Southwest Florida N-Trak modular layout with a building on fire and first responders on the scene.

.

.

This seems like a good theme for a while.

.

Show me please more first responders, police, fire dept, or paramedics again.

This is cheating, but here are some compressed gas vessel cars on the Florida Lego Modeler's layout:

.

.

I love the NPR container in the foreground of this picture. One has to consider all the things that could be in there. If it is empty you might say it is full of fresh air. Maybe it is full of the morning edition. Wait Wait... don't tell me... it is probably full of splendid things for the table.

.

Big Smile OK that is enough of that (for now).

.

Since I cheated, we will keep the same request in place. Please show me more unusual freight cars.

It has been more than 24 hours and no more unusual freight cars.

OK... how about perfectly ordinary freight cars to get the thread moving again?

I have a weakness for these little hoppers and buy them whenever I find them.

I don't post many pictures of my prototype equipment, but I really love the way the weathering turned out on this boxcar. It is built from a Life-Like Proto 2000 kit and has Kadee trucks and couplers. I also replaced the stirrups with something different from Details Associates.

I ship a lot of produce. The most common cars on my railroad are refrigerated box cars. Reefers....

Please show me the type of cars that you have the most of.

Whistling Nice "reefer" car! 

.

Currently it is this car. I have eight of these. I have 10 of my "standard" boxcar in the paint shop right now, so soon this one will no longer be the most common.

.

It is kind of the STRATTON & GILLETTE equivilent of PACEMAKER service.

.

I am out of decals for this one, so I can't paint any more.

.

Show me more of the cars you have the most of.

OK, lets see if I can find one I painted and lettered myself... OH wait, that would be all of them! Big Smile

This is the standard STRATTON AND GILLETTE paint scheme on Pullman PS-1 boxcars. I have six of these done, ten more awaiting decals or paint. I love the Kadee PS-1 kit.

95% of everything I have posted has been custom painted and lettered, so I will show some of my favorites!

Rule 2: I make the rules.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!

I painted and decalled LW coach MEC 244, also painted the interior to match the protype

Also GP7 MEC 572 was non-dynamic with a steam generator so it could be used in passenger service. Started as an undecorated kit; I added details, paint and decals

Nifty caboose Lone Wolf! Certainly not ordinary.

Thank you fro your kind comments. that is one of my favorite reefers. Also, I have three of those railroad police cabooses. They usually go on intermodal trains or with auto carriers. Them and one MoW caboose is all the cabooses that I have, except for one old timer V&T.

So anyway, here is the only custom painted and decaled car I have, a insulated box car lettered for Turtle Creek Central.
