Nice boxcar TF, who can forget 'The land of sky-blue waters', makes me want to have a cold one. I like green, my father's 48' was green. More green please. Regards, Peter

That is one handsome boxcar Kevin
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 wheels
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.
More green please.

tankertoad135More fave's palease!
This is my favorite freight car in the Train Set Fleet.
Show me another "billboard style" refrigerated boxcar.
One of my faves, a Roller Bearing Models waffle side boxcar lettered with Herald King decals. CNW had a large "flock" of these puppies and many showed up in Rapid City in the pre-DME days. This humperdill took quite some time to get together using 4 different glues. It was fun!!
More fave's palease!
Bear More favorites
My father was in The 9th Queen's Royal Lancers Regiment. As I like Class 52 locomotives (Westerns') D1027 Western Lancer is a must have.
Anymore favorites?

To the world you are someone. To someone you are the world

Carry on
More favourites please.

Lets see more of your favourites, please.
Now that Pullman of yours got me a little riled Wayne. I thought I had that one so I got out my set.
Nope, I didn't have it but those Pullman's are no stranger to me
I found out after that train show there is more than 5 to complete this set. I have bought one extra now and one in my cart, ...I don't know what I'm waiting for? I better send eBay a PayPal tonight
So I'm going to post the Great Northern, North Dakota Pullman as my favorite.
More favorites please.
Thanks for your kind comment TF.
Track fiddlerMy Pepe Le Pew boxcar. I had to have been one short of a six-pack the night I bought that one
Ah, yes, but it's so round, so firm, so fully packed.
Track fiddlerMore favorites, ...freight or passenger car please.
This one, and a couple of similar ones, are favourites because they were made into wooden baggage cars, from Athearn Blue Box passenger cars (coaches and Pullmans) bought NiB for a couple bucks each...
doctorwayne Show us more of your favourite cars, freight or passenger, please.
Show us more of your favourite cars, freight or passenger, please.

My Pepe Le Pew boxcar. I had to have been one short of a six-pack the night I bought that one
More favorites, ...freight or passenger car please.
BRVRRMore favoried cars please.
I haved a few, including some of these Tyco 40' reefers...
...turned into 36'-ers, with radial roofs and truss rods...
...and some ordinary Athearn 40' steel boxcars...
...sliced, diced, and hacked into 40' steel boxcars with Viking roofs (lowered by 1'). 5-5-5 Youngstown ends, drop-sidesills and trucks moved outboard, much in the same manner as the Pennsy used on their X-29 boxcars...
There are a lot of other single favourites, too.
Ringo58: "More favorite pieces of rolling stock?"
These NYC Pacemaker cars are among my favorite freight cars. I don't think I have individual photos right now, so a group photo will have to do.

P.S. I've always admired those W style hoppers too Bear.
Great job!
I have a few of those in my roster as well
Another favorite train car please.
JaBearOk, then. A freelanced hopper car for the freelanced Lachlan River RR.
I love that hopper car Bear. Very nicely built.
NorthBritMore favourite rolling stock
My favorite will change every time I am asked. I just have too many that I love for one to be favorite all the time.
This one is my current favorite. I used a decal set I got from a model train club near Chicago.
Show me another train car you are specially fond of.
The Bear - Favourite piece of rolling stock.
I have a few favourites, but on receiving these three carriages free in a package, they are little gems. Especially as they are over 50 years old.
More favourite rolling stock
NVSRRMore hoppers
A purple one. For a plastics company.
More hoppers
More covered hoppers please. Regards, Peter
