Here is a string of ATSF caboose(s), Athearn kits modified per an MR article by Andy Sperandeo many years ago.  The layout is in testing mode, prior to ballasting and scenery........

OK, this may be a stretch......how about something Illinois Central RR related?

ENJOY  !

Maybe not so much of a stretch. Due to an undertaker's convention, the NYC RR was borrowing all the passenger equipment it could find to handle the traffic!

I have an SP cab forward which I don't really use, but I can pose it on my layout.

2 for 1.....a Southern Pacific ES44AC patched out for Union Pacific drags a loaded centerbeam across the southwestern United States desert.

We are approaching Halloween, how about an orange hopper, smooth or ribbed, open or closed.

There is plenty of orange in this scene on the BNSF layout in the Chicago Museum Of Science and Technology.

OK... eleven days until Halloween, my favorite holiday, keep the orange coming.

I think it was RR-Mel that gave me the idea. That's why it is an S-P car.

This is how much gunk I picked up on the first pass around the layout.

Next Saturday... I think I have done it the weekend prior to Halloween before.

.

I have an OK picture this year... There have been a lot of bad attempts so far.

.

I think we are still looking for a SOUTHERN PACIFIC in the "Black Widow" paint scheme.

Apparently, that Espee diesel is having some mechanical issues and is unable to make an appearance.

Here's a stand-in, one of my Genesis Mikados, in black and yellow...

Show me the paint scheme on one of your freelanced locomotives, steam or diesel, please.

It's called my layout... mostly the self section, where track needs to be cut and fitted better before scenery.

Show me another industry with a boxcar spotted at it.
