More of those basic oxide red boxcars, please.

PRR's idea of a basic box car:

They must have liked them, they had about ten-thousand of the X31 class.

More box cars of any shape, length or color please.

This one is up for some truck work. see that tack board on the end? It bugged me that the boards were vertical and not horizontal as I believe the railroad gods demanded. So I pried them off and gave them a 90° turn.

Wouldn't 'ya know a while later I found a photo of a NYC box car with — yep,  tackboards with vertical boards on the endsHmm

More of any box car, please.

Show me another boxcar.

Here's an Athearn boxcar getting measured for some modifications...

...which includes removal of the roof...

...and about 1' (HO) off the top of the car's sides, along with removal of the ends...

...and the sidesills and over-sized doors tracks, too...

...and some new Viking roofs...

...along with some new 5-5-5- ends, (from Tichy), and with some scratchbuilt running boards...

...and new door tracks, free-standing ladders and grabirons, new doors and underset straight sidesills...

...and with some paint and lettering, along with a little weathering, another 8 steel boxcars, built in 1924...

Here are a pair of ice bunker reefers at the A&P warehouse. The A&P reefer gets lots of mileage delivering loads to various towns on the layout. Several years ago I started a thread asking why a canned food company like Van Camp's would need reefers. Some speculated it might be for raw foods delivered to their cannery but somebody checked the reporting marks and indicated such a car never existed. 

More reefers.

This was a flea market find but I thought it would be an interesting addition.

Let's change things up. How about a lumber yard or sawmill scene.
