Here is a ROCK ISLAND E unit on the Lionel Great Dogbone Layout that is seen at several train shows throughout the South.

OK... one more time... Show me a 6 axle diesel locomotive!

New York Central F7As #'s 1821 and 1872 at the head of a mixed freight consist at the Route 32 grade crossing.

How about a large steamer in 'high feather' (flat out).

NYC Niagara #6008 sweeps around the curve at the west end of the BRVRR layout with a short mail and express train in tow.

Let's keep it going with more big steam.

I just recently fit a stay-alive decoder in it. I also filled the saddle tank with tiny steel shot. One of the hang-ups was that it only had pickup from one wheel! I fixed that with a bronze wiper.

I think Harrison has 3 or 4.

I have about 70 of them! Whistling

Every SGRR "Exchange Service Fleet" freight car is unique. TF has the only forty foot boxcar in the Safety Scheme, and the only fifty foot round roof boxcar. Ed has the only SGRR boxcar with a hyrda-cushion underframe.

Garry and Tony Koester have identical 40 foot boxcars, except Garry's is lettered in yellow and Tony's is lettered in white.

JJ has the only SGRR operating coal hopper in existence.

Making the Exchange Service Fleet is a fun hobby all into its own.

This is the very first HO scale STRATTON AND GILLETTE fifty foot boxcar. I painted this one over twenty years ago. It is also a unique paint scheme since I have become aware the "DF" was not used in 1954. To be honest, I painted this boxcar when the SGRR was still set in 1968.

Show me any 50 foot freight car.

50' freight car... Easy. I wonder why nobody has posted one of them yet. 

Here are 50's gons for loads of structural steel. 

 

 

Please show coal hoppers.

Thank you for the fifty footers Garry. I could not believe that took 24 hours.

I have a thing for these little Tyco VIRGINIAN hoppers. I buy them whenever I see them at train shows providing they are not too beat-up.

More coal or aggregate filled hoppers please.

Kevin,

Limestone is too heavy to be loaded that high in a hopper car, limestone is much heavier than coal and so the car would be about 3/4's full rather than at the top of the car.

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!

I am fortunate enough to have a fine looking (and operating) Stratton and Gillette Comet Freight refrigerator car, reporting mark SGRT 65138. One of these days I've got to see if I can actually take a decent picture of it and figure what photo site I want to use.

So, we have coal, limestone and iron ore (and even a coke oven). Please show me a car or scene related to the steel industry.
