More shiny or reflective. Regards, Peter

Peter: I LOVE that Cramps poster on the wall. Poison Ivy was (is) a goddess. Her guitar is on display in the pop culture museum in Seattle... I touched it!

These shiny passenger cars are on the Suncoast American Flyer Enthusiats' S scale modular layout:

More of the shiny stuff please.

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.

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.

Another freight car in "two-tone" paint.

Thanks Rick, I like the OGDEN.  I'm gonna keep my eyes out for one or two of those to add to my roster.

How about three brand new Great Northerns bought at a steal for 25 bucks?

Omaha Orange and Pullman Green introduced in 1941 on Empire Builder passenger cars and also freight cars I do believe.  Later the color scheme re-introduced in 1962 on diesel locomotives a year before I was born.

 

More two-toned freight cars please.

More hackneys or trolleys or motor coaches, please.

Hmmm... I looked up "hackney", and it said it was a car for hire. I think that means taxi-cab. Sorry if I got that wrong.

The third car in the line is a taxi.

Show me a boxcar with script lettering please.

Not sure how tall is considered tall.

This wooden ore bunker is on the museum layout at the DURANGO AND SILVERTON roundhouse museum in Durango, Colorado.
