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...

More covered hoppers, please.

The Penn-Central sure made their paint budget stretch pretty thin:

Yes they did, but is makes for a nifty looking freight car.

The steel mill uses second hand Baldwin switchers formerly owned by SP and GN which are "patched" with new engine numbers.

 

 

More second hand or "patched" locomtives or cars, please.

On the last move of the day a Nickel Plate SW puts the caboose to bed:

I love NICKEL PLATE cabooses. You can see a strong influence from NKP cabooses in the SGRR caboose fleet.

gmpullman
More scenes with EMD switchers, please.

I shared this picture in Weekend Photo Fun a few weeks ago. It shows an N scale SGRR switcher on the remains of SGRR layout #3 after it was torn down.

I found this picture in a box of old photos I was sorting.

Show me another diesel powered switcher of any type.

Please show me a train of all box cars or all hopper cars.

You can't see the locomotive, but you can trust me, it is all boxcars.

Please show me another train with just one type of freight car.

A Pennsylvania Railroad DD1 motor.

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.

That is a great picture. Is the rabbit named "Harvey"?
