An AHM modern stock car, patterned after the UP "Pig Palaces" of the 1960s. Despite markings to the contrary, it is the same height as a normal car...

My contribution follows my LOTW choice, this being a Train-Miniature boxcar to match the loco. This is the first of the 3 I've just nearly completed, still needs weights and truck tuning.
After that's done, I'll add green LEDs to the inside to make it glow like a surreal train should. Running it at my club's night ops sessions should be fun.

Hi All,
Nice stuff guys.
catfordken: I really like the graphics on the caboose box. I have a tyco caboose ( no box ) with the same paint and number but I'm not sure if it was a kit or not.
AMC_Gremlin_GT: Will you be posting a video of your train when it is done?

I'm sure, once I get it done ( the hard part ), I will make a video ( the EASY part ). Maybe by next spring? LOL.

Hey shay, I have one of these too. I'm contemplating putting No.5s with body mount pockets on it. These are unusual cars. The skirting on the sides hiding the trucks are what make it that way.

I believe I've got one of those cable cable cars, or at least something very similar.
Here's mine for this week. "Thank goodness" I got it cheap on ebay:

From the New Haven RR show in North Haven, Connecticut today:
A Tyco SF crane. I think I'll repaint/repurpose as a NH crane. I have a question about it though; there are square knob thingies for turning the pulleys. Would this have originally come with a crank of some sort?
Since I'm not sure this counts as a car, I'll add a few more that I got today.
I thought the Hercules Powder car was interesting. Not sure they'd have shipped smokeless powder this way, and I'm not sure I'd want to be around if they did.
One more, since there seems to be a sweet tooth lately, a Roco:
Now to figure out how to put Kadees in this. The Kadee website doesn't offer a conversion for this one.
Thought for sure I'd find a Hull's Beer reefer, but no luck.
