Kevin: "Show me something else painted at least two colors."

I've used this photo before, but it was handy.

How about a string of New York Central "Pacemaker" box cars?

More multi-colored railroad cars, please.

Let's see more colorful rolling stock, please. Ed

1954 is not known as a colorful time in railroading, but the new STRATTON AND GILLETTE "Comet Frieght" TOFC service trailers do have some color to them.

Show me something else painted at least two colors.

Of course it can be more than one color Ed.  I seen one of those cars in Red Wing before things all started.  I only wish I had one of those Canadian rainbow railroad cars.

My Imgur site is on the fritz or I'd have a colorful car to post.

Please excuse my Interruption and continue with the regular scheduled program here.

Another rail car in an interesting color.

 

I think the Magenta 86' Hi-Cubes of the DT&I qualify!

Ordered for service to the Woodhaven Stamping Plant, at the time all cars painted this color were assigned to that plant.

This has no grounding in reality but I needed a view block for the incline at the back of the layout so I ran the main line through the building. This is only started but you can get the idea.

Anymore phoney or prototypical mods ?

Show me something else made to fit a scene

I've always been fascinated with buildings constructed over trackage (air rights) as in New York City and even in my native Cleveland, Ohio.

With that in mind I built a "Postal Annex" as we had such a structure here in Cleveland:

Here are a couple of railroad-owned buildings that I made recently...

This one is for the Mow Dept....

...while this is the LCL warehouse at Elfrida...

I have another four that I'll be painting later today, and a couple more to build after that.

CB&Q 210 ...... (Notice the S&G boxcar also in the photo.)

Thanks Garry, I love to see it put to good use. I also have an SGRR boxcar in my photo below...

Something more you made or bashed into what you wanted.

I made this tank depot from a Lionel O-27 tank car and four Lionel trestle pieces, plus a whole lot of evergreen plastic.

It is actually a piece of wargaming terrain for Warhammer 40K, but it made a good prop for train photos. This piece has now been donated to the store terrain collection at Darkside Comics and Games in Sarasota, Florida.

Show me another creation you made.

I don't know about made, but I did bash Bachmann's Frankfort Junction Depot kit into the new Black River Station:
