How about a B&M 40' PS1 Boxcar!

How about another bi-colored freight car?

Show me another 2 color freight car

I think these Milwaukee Roads boxcars are absolutely classic looking. These are on Mr Muffin's Trains Lionel Layout in Atlanta, Indiana.

Show me another bicolored freight car.

More headend stuff, please.

These "Flexi-Vans" are a later-day head-end car. Some were used for U.S. Mail. There's PRR head-end cars on the next track.

This was originally an Athearn Pullman, but is now a pretty-good representation of the real CNR car which bore the same number...

OK, well, not your usual HEP, but what I call a HEPage.  A head end power car/baggage car combined, maybe kind like a cabage?

I needed a HEP car for business trains, pulled by a loco that didn't have "hotel" power.

More HEP please, or head end cars.

Lots of heavyweight mail and baggage cars in this train, which has just passed through Lowbanks, but there don't appear to be many passengers in the lone rider-coach which is bringing up the rear...

On my layout, the biggest industry, by far, is GERN Industries' Port Maitland plant...

...what's modelled represents about a third of the plant, and the flux mine, under nearby Lake Erie, isn't modelled at all.
It's an enormous traffic generator....covered hoppers, tank cars, boxcars, and, on flatcars, processing machinery.

Just remember, everything is 3% better with GERN!

2 industries on the Boothbay Railway Village layout. Burgess & Forbes paint factory was a real business in Portland, ME in the 1920s, but this is a freelanced structure

Wirthmore Feeds is located next door
