Another refrigerator car, please.
gmpullmanFrom Train Miniature, a youthful memory. Another refrigerator car, please.
I also have a youthful memory in a refrigerated boxcar. There are five Tyco cars that just remind me of Christmas morning, the BABY RUTH, OLD DUTCH CLEANSER, HEINZ 57, OSCAR MAYER, and this one, the RALSTON PURINA refrigerated boxcar. I have all of the others also, all equipped with body mounted Kadee couplers and Kadee trucks and wheels so I can run them when I am feeling nostalgic.
Show me another memorable freight car and please share the memory attached to it.
A early 1980's Tyco Virginian hopper
First piece of rolling stock I ever got, around eight years ago, my father bought it from the flea market for around five dollars, already Kadee equipped. The original wheels didn't roll well, swapped them out with plastic Bachmann ones later on.
Show me another memorable freight car, please.

Zhou: I pick up the VIRGINIAN hoppers whenever I run across them at train shows. I have about 15 of them now. I try to renumber them as I get them.
The Nickel Plate Road hopper here is one of a set of seven sequentially numbered cars I picked up in 2014 or so. I made the coal loads for it/them. The "how-to" is on my website.
More 'special' cars please.

This one is a Varney metal boxcar, from my first HO trains in 1955. It was originally painted in NYC's red & grey PaceMaker scheme, but I later painted over that, making it into a CPR boxcar. I decided to update the details a bit, so stripped-off all of the paint, relocating the grabirons and new ladders to more prototypical positions. I also replaced the cast metal roofwalk with individual styrene "boards", revised the door tracks' position and added better-detailed doors, along with some more appropriate underbody details.
Some new paint and dry transfer lettering from C-D-S helps it to fit in better with more recent boxcar models...
Some more "special" cars, please.

A little about this roadname. My wife was born and raised in Gary, Indiana, then she moved to Chicago. Then, quite fortunately, she moved South to Florida, where we met.

This one has a load, but only a partial one...
...as it takes a while to generate enough metal scrap from modelling to make a full load.
