Anybody got a baggage/dormitory car?

I think I can scrounge one up. The Capitol Limited used them in the early-streamlined era:

Lets see an RPO this time, please.

This one is a slightly modified Rivarossi RPO...
 
 
In addition to the barred windows, I added a couple more windows in the baggage/mail storage area, to match a CNR prototype.

How about a silver box car?

The Nickel Plate Road had, I believe ten, aluminum box-express cars that had a "silver" appearance:

Is there another gold freight car out there?

-Kevin

Yes there is, in 1966 the Bulington Shops output for one day were painted gold to commemerate the railroad winning an award.

How about a black box car!

Please show a gray freight car. 

Missouri Pacific Boxcars were all painted Boxcar Red, but supposedly this car was in an accident in Mexico, and after repairs was painted in gray paint rather than the Boxcar Red.

Show me a gold freight car!

" ..more freight cars of any color except silver, green, yellow, gray, or blue. " 

Boxcar red is not one of those.

This is getting harder now... more freight cars of any color except silver, green, yellow, gray, or blue.

Please show another freight car not painted oxide red.

Since I model 1954, I had to scroll through a couple of pages to find a freight car not oxide red, but I found one.

Please show another freight car not painted yellow.
