Please show something else painted silver or aluminum.

Well.. I looked through pictures of my entire freight car collection, and there is not one single silver train car in the Fleet Of Nonsense. That was a surprise. I could have sworn there were a couple of silver tank cars.

Oh well, here is an Amtrak train on the Athens Bend Track group's N scale modular layout.

Show me something else painted silver.

Please show something else painted siver.   

How about the silver boiler jacket on this narrow gauge 4-4-0 locomotive...

This scene is on the On30 modular layout built by the First Coast Modelers in Florida.

Show me another something-or-other painted silver.
