I had many choices, so I went with Orange!

I think we can find more colors than this, another non Boxcar Red Boxcar.

Not sure if this counts as a boxcar in the U.S.A.,  but it is blue.

 

 

More non-red boxcars

One of my longest boxcars and also a billboard car.

Still looking for the older one with the bear on it.  Some of the old Hamm's Beer commercials ("From the Land of Sky-Blue Waters") with the bearded guy and his bear were filmed up where I once lived at Namakan Lake flowing into Rainy Lake Canada near the Kettle Falls hotel.

 

More long Freight cars or billboard cars please.

A BL-2 is an early EMD. This one was running on Mr. Muffin's Lionel Train Layout in Atlanta, Indiana.

Show me any first generation diesel locmotive. No, I am not very strict on what "first generation" means.

Ed: "Please show me more passenger equipment."

Nothing as exotic as the Penn Central Turbo above, but an old standard.

More passenger stuff, please.
