Burington had two slogans on its paint sceme for switchers and road switchers. The "Everywhere West" slogan appeared on most CB&Q freight cars in the 1940's and 1950's. 

Here are both slogans on SD7's. 

 

Please show another slogan.  There are many of them

Let's see yet another slogan or billboard reefer, please.

I used to have lots of cars with slogans, but when I back-dated my layout, many of them were too modern to use, and were either sold-off or re-painted and re-lettered.  Here's one, of dozens I once owned, which likely would have originated early in WWII...just a year or two after my layout's current timeframe...

Thanks for the compliment Wolf.

That is a "Scrap-Box-Special" of my own creation just made of junk I had lying around.

The body is a Model Die Casting Overland Old Time Combine. The floor and coupla are from an Athearn Steel Caboose. The roof is from an Intermountain Boxcar kit that received a Viking Roof from DesPlaines Hobbies.

I am very happy with the way it turned out.

 

You did a very nice job on it. It looks like it always was that design. I would never have guessed that it was pieced together from scraps. Please post photos when it's done, I look forward to seeing it painted and decalled. Keep up the good work.

Cheating here to get this thread moving again after our delay. This STRATTON AND GILLETTE caboose will be red when it is finally completed and painted, but it is not red right now.

Show me your caboose!

If I may go slightly off topic for a moment, that's a pretty cool drover's caboose. What make is it?

More slogans, please. 

ROUTE OF THE GHOST TRAIN!

... All Aboard ...!

I don't think anyone here gets how darned funny that slogan is supposed to be. I have posted this car several times before... no responses at all. I think I dove down so far into the depths of Nerd-dom for this joke that I cannot recover.

VINDICATORS FOREVER! Alan Rails, AKA "Ghost Train":

His parents were run over and killed by a radioactive train. As a result he has the superpower to summon a ghost train by saying the magical phrase and blowing the radioactive steam whistle he wears around his neck.

That is too funny.

Show me another slogan please.

Please show another combine.

Combines are among my favourite passenger cars, and this is one of them...

It was originally a Rivarossi diner, but with a relatively short railroad, wasn't needed as such, so I shortened it and made a few other adjustments.

Here's another one, still "in progress"...

Wayne

More combines, please.

Show me a  passenger car, specifically a combine, please.

A combine is a rare beast, indeed. Especially one with an RPO apartment.

On the PRR this is a MPB70.

...that's a pretty cool drover's caboose. What make is it?

It looks like a Model Die Casting caboose, with a cupola from an Athearn steel caboose, while the roof looks similar to those on boxcars from Red Caboose.

Rather apt, if that's the case.

Here's a somewhat re-worked bay window caboose, from Athearn...

That stack of pulpwood looks excellent, Bear 

The modelling on that unit was done by my late friend , Hans Hubner. He had an eye for getting stuff looking right.
