More hackneys or trolleys or motor coaches, please.

24

Hmmm… I looked up “hackney”, and it said it was a car for hire. I think that means taxi-cab. Sorry if I got that wrong.

The third car in the line is a taxi.

Show me a boxcar with script lettering please.

25

Yes Kevin. ‘Hackney’ is car for hire - a taxi.

Thanks Rick, I like the OGDEN. I’m gonna keep my eyes out for one or two of those to add to my roster.

How about three brand new Great Northerns bought at a steal for 25 bucks?

Omaha Orange and Pullman Green introduced in 1941 on Empire Builder passenger cars and also freight cars I do believe. Later the color scheme re-introduced in 1962 on diesel locomotives a year before I was born.

More two-toned freight cars please.

Please show something else painted silver or aluminum.

31

Well… I looked through pictures of my entire freight car collection, and there is not one single silver train car in the Fleet Of Nonsense. That was a surprise. I could have sworn there were a couple of silver tank cars.

Oh well, here is an Amtrak train on the Athens Bend Track group’s N scale modular layout.

Show me something else painted silver.

-Kevin

32

This dining car is one of many CB&Q modernized heavyweight passneger cars that were painted silver.

Please show something else painted siver.

33

How about the silver boiler jacket on this narrow gauge 4-4-0 locomotive…

This scene is on the On30 modular layout built by the First Coast Modelers in Florida.

Show me another something-or-other painted silver.

-Kevin

34

A silver spider. More silver, alum or galvanize. Regards, Peter

35

Thanks Kevin, I like the blue stripe on the silver Amtrak.

The Silver Streak Zephyr set is definitely silver in stainless.

P.S. Oops, post mix up to say the least! My bad! Nice spider Peter, not to mention the beautiful setting you created around it[:P][Y] Alfa Romero, …right?

My phone and the Forum have been really glitchy today. Things are missing and incomplete and then all of a sudden pop up later???

More silver, aluminum, galvanized, chrome or stainless please.

TF

36

Are you guys tired of seeing this bus yet? Sorry, it is my only bus model.

Show me anything that is shiny or reflective.

-Kevin

37

These Amtrak Superliner cars have a reflective, stainless steel finish:

Thanks TF, a Fiat Dino. More shiny or reflective. Regards, Peter

Peter: I LOVE that Cramps poster on the wall. Poison Ivy was (is) a goddess. Her guitar is on display in the pop culture museum in Seattle… I touched it!

These shiny passenger cars are on the Suncoast American Flyer Enthusiats’ S scale modular layout:

More of the shiny stuff please.

-Kevin
