Reminds me of the Tyco-Mantua GATX box cars. General American Transportation Co. I think is the name. They look ready for another 45 years of making people young at heart, Happy. When you speak of something that was well produced. Gilbert and Tyco-Mantua fits the conversation.
* Now to post something that may make someone else happy.
* Two companies got together to make this freight car. Varney how made the unfinished car, and Gilbert who Finished and marketed it. Lots of young eyes watched this car go around the track. Most of the time in circles. Round and round creating a ever growing imagination, and widening those child's eyes. Happy is a catchy condition. You can recognize it by all the giggles and laughter.

That S scale is PDC (pretty darn cool). The trucks on the
box cars, are those sand casted? The journal boxes on
those other pieces just pop!

A Wellsville, Addison, and Galeton outside-braced wooden boxcar produced by Trains Miniature. Quite a nice car actually, got it on eBay for a good price. Needs a paintjob for my shortline, but once I get some good acrylic paints I should be fine. Need one more outside-braced and a wooden double-sheathed to round out the boxcar fleet.
sim-al2
Also since they cut track maintaince the trains had huge trouble making over the railroad by the end

While leafing through a Sept.'55 Model Railroader,
I found an ad for this car.
Selley made a few cars, this one being Pullman Standard ore car, the other , Bethlehem Steel
Cool.

Last, but not least, this really cool PC wood pulp car Micro got for me
at a train show, earlier this month. It is a most unusual piece, and is
perfectly intact down to the vertical brake wheel stanchion (which are
almost always busted off). I ran it for hours last night and it tracks
perfectly, without a hitch. Thanks, Micro!!
