"Goods Day."
A brief course in English:
In Britain, "freight" is generally known as "goods," and a freight car is generally a
"goods wagon," or if a box car, a "goods van." What we call "trucks," our
British Cousins call "lorries."
In general theme, it is my impression that British model railroaders run a preponderance
of passenger schemes, to the point where there is little "goods" traffic in comparison.
This might have to do with the much greater intimacy and reliance British have upon
their railway systems, which compared to what is now available in the U.S., is
rather better.
A Texas sized THANK YOU again to Highwayman97, for without his generous
assistance these two vintage Playcrafts would have ended up junked.
