Another "specialty" freight car, please.

This flat car is outfitted with special racks to hold these large modular LCL crates.

How about another "specialty" freight car.

I haven't got any freight cars longer than 50' but wouldn't mind seeing some more l-o-n-g freight cars.

This is a one-of-a-kind on the PRR:

 PRR_X30-a by Edmund, on Flickr

Built in 1931 specifically to haul fire apparatus from the American LaFrance plant in Elmira, N.Y. it is 70' 6" over pulling faces.

Another "specialty" freight car, please.

I don't think this one is as long as your open autorack, Ed, but it's one of the early enclosed auto carriers.  A friend owns it now, so I can't measure it...

These two little guys are at work. These are both Woodland Scenics figures straight from the box. They look pretty good with no additional detail paint added.

It's not often that the Erie Northshore's "BEE" is seen in Dunnville's industrial district, but she's just returning from some repairs at the EG&E's main shops...

More additions or attatchments on buildings."

I think the conveyor off the side of the Diamond Coal Corporation built for a display for the NEB&W should suffice! Or the walkways! Or the tower off the back!

More additions, attachments, or protrusions from buildings please!

Check out the Balfour and Colucci Creek Southern Railroad, my proto-freelanced N scale model railroad, at bccsrailroad.weebly.com or on Youtube on my channel, N Scale Train Boy.

I had to look that one up.

I only rember the definition from reading about a steam locomotive and its related appurtenances:

ap·pur·te·nance

  (ə-pûr′tn-əns)

n.
1. Something associated with another, more important thing; an accessory. See Synonyms at attachment.
2. appurtenances Equipment, such as clothing, tools, or instruments, used for a specific purpose or task; gear.

 
 
 
I have an ICS book describing locomotive appurtenances. I thought it was one of those Cool words Big Smile
