Now, back to our regularly-scheduled programme, which is looking for some form of autorack.

Autorack it is...

They are a Jaeger kit. Enough material to make two 40' flat loads.

Thanks for the info, George.

I made pipe loads for a couple of gondolas, using the refills from ballpoint pens...

...and three flatcar loads of bigger pipe, using the barrels of the pens...

...although I still need to add some wedges to the blocking, as the pipes aren't banded.

Now, back to our regularly-scheduled programme, which is looking for some form of autorack.

Nice-looking pipe loads on those flats, George.

This is probably not the type of car you had in mind, but the white line on the door and the storage tubes for chains, visible under the car's floor, indicate that this car is equipped with racks for loading automobiles....

Another passenger train with an older car in the rear if you please.

I would've thought Nick and Nora Charles, who probably wouldn't have ridden this short Grand Valley train,

Oh, they would if there were Martinis served in the club car Smile

Maybe not the right kind of signal. 

After watching the Hitchcock movie 'North by Northwest' in HD the other night (my big Sony tube finally bit the dust after 19 years of service) please show me some 20th Century Limited equipment, bonus for 'Red Caps' or "Red Carpet'.   Thanks and regards,  Peter

Uhhh, MEC 404 is a U18B, not a U25B... I’m sure it’s just a mistake...

You are right, big DUH for me EmbarrassedEmbarrassed EmbarrassedEmbarrassed Typing too fast & thinking too slow late at night. MEC did have U25s from the bankrupt RI, but that came later
