Guess I was a little slow on the trigger..how about a box car from the TH&B...

...I built three of them from Train Miniature boxcars, by scribing the "steel" sidesills, then added new sidesills to create taller cars.

The real TH&B bought 300 of them from the NYC, in 1941.

I guess it's time for a U-turn.

I did not want to do an obvius N like NYC or N&W, how about the original Norfolk Southern!

The current request is for highway vehicles on flat cars so let's stay with that one.

I think it's time for Alphabet Soup!

I'll start things off with the letter A as in Amtrak:

Please show me anything with the letter B associated with it.

OK... It is Sunday... Show me a Church...

-Kevin

 

I've been away from these forums for a number of reasons and I know I'm late responding to this request but here is my favorite church kit.

This is a Kibri kit and I've always been curious as to why the steeples are in the rear. Every Catholic church I am aware of has the steeples at the front. The photo on the box is taken from the rear to make it look like the steeples are in the front.

Kibri - Roman Catholic Church - Kit - 12-1/4 x 7-1/2 x 14-1/8" 31 x 19 x 36cm - 405-39760 (walthers.com)

After I assembled it, I realized it wouldn't have taken much modification to put the steeples in the front but with the glue already set, I didn't want to risk ruining it by taking it apart. 

The current request is for highway vehicles on flat cars so let's stay with that one.
