Starting us off with a classic Santa Fe caboose.

A favorite little hack in my collection is this little K-Line bay window.

It’s not as grand as the semi scale NKP extended vision caboose in my collection or as interesting as the IVES 4 wheel 67 caboose that’s probably the oldest one I have, but there’s a reason why I bought it that transcends those things.

Not an exact model since it’s not a wagon top, but it reminds me of a good day out with mom from 2006 at the Midwest Railway Preservation Society at the B & O roundhouse on West 3rd Street at the Clark Avenue CSX yard.

My freelance railroad caboose. I’ve turned it into a shoving platform, because it’s 1999…

More cabeese? I like CN or CP vans.

Anybody else love them portholes?

Let’s see more ‘streamlined’ (angled end) cupolas, PRR, CB&Q or Wabash flavored!

When someone says streamliner my brain heads to Harmon New York!

I’d go south to Roanoke but I don’t have a Class J. :sad_but_relieved_face:. I can show you my Class § streamlined oil fired N and W yard goat! :laughing:

And my customized Marx Commodore Vanderbilt shortly after it’s restoration a few years ago.

And the GG-1 of course.

I’ve always thought the Marx 999 was a good example of “semi streamlining”.

I love streamliners so I’m asking for more!

My two Bachmann N&W J’s, and two of my GG1s. The J on the bridge had the chassis swapped with a Bowser chassis by the original owner, the one on the bottom is mine from when I was younger, and did not survive being owned by a kid too well (the rear truck is misssing). The silver GG1 is Bachmann, the brunswick GG1, I still dont know who made it (not AHM/Rivarossi, not Pemco)

More streamliners please!

…and so, the undead thread rises from it’s coffin once more! (on Friday the 13th no less!)


Here’s my late-1930s automobile-on-flanged-wheels. (a rail mobile, to be precise), which is used for track inspections. The design is based of a 2014 San Diego Comic Con exclusive set of the green / yellow car from Action Comics 1, with some added railroad flair and a change of colors.
Show me something else unusual / odd!

@pennytrains Those heffalumps are bad, but woozels are WAY worse!


We all live in a Yellow Submarine! (And yes, this loaded flatcar would daylight every tunnel and tear out all bridges while enroute… which is why it sits stationary in my railyard.)

Show me something else, posters choice!
