Utility poles on flat cars. 

Please show another loded flat car, or if you prefer, show a loaded gondola car.

Here is a TankTrain car on my layout:

The passenger car truck under the car is not part of it. The picture just happened to look that way.

Show me more modern tank cars please.

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.

Back to Wayne's request for a "Boxed Car", whatever that might be.

Cheers, Ed

 

 
I wasn't even aware that they crated autos, but have seen them single level and two-level, and also on-end, in boxcars, and, of course, multiple levels in autoracks, and on-end in the Vert-A-Pac cars.
 
All I wanted to be shown was a piece of rolling stock in its box, (a variation on "box car") and George's response was close enough.

My instinct was that Wayne was looking for a crated automobile which was a common method of shipping before the specialized Automobile box cars and auto racks.

.

Ed, that is what I was thinking also. I have a Funaro & Camerlengo kit for automobile crates, but it is not assembled yet.

I used the same Athearn car to build this version, based on sketches I did of the prototype (I didn't have a camera with me at the time).

OK, tank car, here's one from a couple years ago, I bashed an Athearn 65' tank from the 60's into a something a little more modern looking, giving it the looks of a Procor LP or anhyrous amonia tank car

I like tank cars, more please!

Another GERN tank car...

I wouldn't have thought that a "boxed car" would have been difficult, but perhaps my expectations were skewed a bit...

Rule 1: This is my railroad.

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!

Harrison: "Show me your favorite scene on your layout."

I'm not sure if this is my favorite scene, but is surely my favorite layout photo. A West bound New York Central passenger train passes a short freight at the west end of the BRVRR layout.

More favorite scenes or photos please.
