 Closest I have to log cars are the postwar Lionel "log" cars  

Lets see lumber hauling cars, either before mill or after.

More steel loads, please.

A load of plate steel, with welded and bolted hold-downs, as seen at the steel plant where I worked...

...which prevent the load from shifting.

How about some big power? She doesn't get much use but here's SD90-43MAC 8096, shes out of the era I model nowadays, but she was my first purchase on my own, so I keep her around.

Show me your oldest model.

Check out the Balfour and Colucci Creek Southern Railroad, my proto-freelanced N scale model railroad, at bccsrailroad.weebly.com or on Youtube on my channel, N Scale Train Boy.

This Bachmann Dummy F9 may not look like much, but it was a lot of firsts for me. It was part of my first N scale set, it was the first piece of rolling stock I weathered, both with chalk pastels, then acrylic paints when I started using those, and it was the first icon for my YouTube Channel, so it means quite a lot to me.

Show me more things that are special to you, and why.

Check out the Balfour and Colucci Creek Southern Railroad, my proto-freelanced N scale model railroad, at bccsrailroad.weebly.com or on Youtube on my channel, N Scale Train Boy.

This was my first attempt at an n scale scratchbuild.  There are some problems with it, but it remains special to me.
