Another purchase at the train show yesterday.

I missed the billboard boxcar posting a while back.  Found this Hamm's billboard reefer at the show and now I have two.  It looks like a long case of beer on wheelsLaugh

The old Hamm's beer commercials of the 70s with the bearded man Earl Hammond walking with his staff and the Kodiak Bear by his side was filmed at many locations in Minnesota, one being Lake Namakan that connects south of Lake Kabetogama where I grew up.

The bear's name was Sasha. Picture courtesy of Northern Wilds Magazine.

Again, please show another covered hopper, cylindrical hopper or pressure differential car.

I'm a big fan of the early covered hoppers, even though most of them are too modern for a late '30s layout.  Here's a few of them...

...and some more...

...and some modified MDC cars...

...and some built in the '20s...

That is a very handsome model Ed. I love the way it looks, brawny, with a "form follows function" aesthetic. 

gmpullman
Please show something else with a red roof.

All STRATTON AND GILLETTE steam locomotives have red roofs over th cabs.

The actual colour I use is Testors Model Master "British Crimson", but that is no longer available. I think Scalecoat LV Cornell Red will be the colour for all future SGRR locomotive cab roofs.

That will bring the total number of Scalecoat colours up to five for every locomotive. I think I will need to paint these in batches... bummer.

Please show me another piece of railroad equipment that has a red roof.

Show me something else painted safety yellow.

I had to scour my collection to find something that fit.

Here is a yellow Lionel Standard Gauge Caboose in what I believe qualifies as safety yellow. This was seen on the Rutland Junction Toy Train Museum in Alabama.

The Turbotrain is bi-directional / double-ended. Please show another double-ended "thing".

I hope I am correct about this... I believe RDC cars were double ended and had control cabs for bi-directional operation.

This RDC is on the BNSF layout in the Chicago Museum Of Science And Industry.
