Thank you for the kind comment. I really have loved all the time I spent on my freight car fleet this past year.

I think running your prize loco on your club layout is always fun!

Alright, second try. Show me some BNSF gevos. *hint* *hint* they are NOT made by EMD, they are made by general electric. That should help.

I'm beginning to realize that Windows 10 and sound decoders have a lot in common. There are so many things you have to change in order to get them to work the way you want.

Both of the Branchline reefers shown below were originally billboard-style beer reefers.  Since billboard cars were outlawed before the time of my late-'30s era layout, I stripped off the lettering, and slightly re-detailed the cars during assembly.

I had decals on hand for this one...

...and lettered this one for my freelanced Grand Valley Export Company....

Show me more reefers of any colour, please.
