My next-to-last HO project. Car had no trucks, flaking decals, so decided to repaint B&M. Picked up trucks for $1 at LHS. Following my philosophy that it's easier to make the prototype match the model than the other way around, I picked a number for B&M coaches that had roller bearing Commonwealth trucks like the ones I bought. Real one is longer, 80' not 72', and more windows, but who's counting?
Don't know the maker, but I am sure people here will.

In many ways it actually looks nicer with 4-wheel trucks. Good job. --Thomas

Well guys, I think I got my camera and new computer working again, lets see if this works!
With that said, I got a few of each so I'm going to pile them all in one posting for freight cars! gotta make up for lost time, don't you know!
Anyone able to identify this caboose------^ ? I'm not sure on it and as it is, the whole thing is diecat, and had what looks to be Mantua wheelsets in it.....Old time Mantua? The trucks say differently on it but, I like it and will be adding it to my Log train that I've been building....
Then I have this:
Just thought this was a cool one for $1.00! (at a yard sale)
Then I got these:
I got these-------^ with the the logging caboose post above! Also, metal, and very heavy for their size, considering they are low side gondolas!
ENJOY!
