Show me another freight car not painted in the same style as normally seen. GREAT NORTHERN circus cars, experimental paint schemes, unusual repaints, whatever.

.

Have fun!

-Kevin

Here is an experimental NYC scheme from 1958, two cars were painted in this scheme a 40' and a 50'. The NYC then went to the Jade Green with the Cigar Band logo.  I prefer this one.

 

Show me another experimental or one of a kind paint scheme.

Rick Jesionowski 

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!

Ahhh, here is a set of ATSF FTs showing their pulling power and utility.  These are units from Stewart, all powered with minor detailing added.

OK, surely there are some EMD E-1s or switchers out there..........

ENJOY  !

Plese show another small building. 

Here's a PRR Watch House. Possibly, so named because it is so small you have to go outside to wind your watch?

...Show me another place to stop off of the highway.

This is pretty-much what the fireman saw from the cab...

...just before both train and pick-up truck stopped "off of the highway"...

Other than a few chickens, no one was hurt.

Two eastbound freights clear the way for westbound Amtrak #41, the Broadway Limited.  Audio of the Broadway passing is from the actual train #40 during the summer of 1995.

I have two that fit the bill:

The second picture doesn't have a station yet, but that is where the permanent model while go. Use imaginitive liscense for now.Smile, Wink & Grin

Show me a small industry that takes tank cars.

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.
