A purple one. For a plastics company.
More hoppers
Shane
Ok, then. A freelanced hopper car for the freelanced Lachlan River RR, LRA 8009, and…
…another Lachlan River RR covered hopper car, LRA 8081 based on a 1940s Maine Central design.
Please show me your current favourite piece of rolling stock.
Cheers, the Bear.[:)]
The Bear - Favourite piece of rolling stock.
I have a few favourites, but on receiving these three carriages free in a package, they are little gems. Especially as they are over 50 years old.
More favourite rolling stock

I love that hopper car Bear. Very nicely built.
My favorite will change every time I am asked. I just have too many that I love for one to be favorite all the time.
This one is my current favorite. I used a decal set I got from a model train club near Chicago.
Show me another train car you are specially fond of.
-Kevin
Thanks Kevin. I like that Lake Shore boxcar[Y]
The Wagon Top is my favorite, just look at that craftsmanship!
Decisions, Decisions[:P]
P.S. I’ve always admired those W style hoppers too Bear.
Great job!
I have a few of those in my roster as well[Y]
Another favorite train car please.
TF
The hopper is my favorite because it is my only car I have custom made!
More favorite cars
My favorite are probably this trio of New Haven 2-bay coal hoppers.
More favorite pieces of rolling stock?

These NYC Pacemaker cars are among my favorite freight cars. I don’t think I have individual photos right now, so a group photo will have to do.
More favoried cars please.
I haved a few, including some of these Tyco 40’ reefers…
…turned into 36’-ers, with radial roofs and truss rods…
…and some ordinary Athearn 40’ steel boxcars…
…sliced, diced, and hacked into 40’ steel boxcars with Viking roofs (lowered by 1’). 5-5-5 Youngstown ends, drop-sidesills and trucks moved outboard, much in the same manner as the Pennsy used on their X-29 boxcars…
There are a lot of other single favourites, too.
Wayne
Show us more of your favourite cars, freight or passenger, please.
Thanks Wayne. That’s some nice boxcar customizing I must say[Y]
My Pepe Le Pew boxcar. I had to have been one short of a six-pack the night I bought that one[(-D][:-^]
More favorites, …freight or passenger car please.
TF
Thanks for your kind comment TF.
Ah, yes, but it’s so round, so firm, so fully packed.
This one, and a couple of similar ones, are favourites because they were made into wooden baggage cars, from Athearn Blue Box passenger cars (coaches and Pullmans) bought NiB for a couple bucks each…
Wayne
Lets see more of your favourites, please.
Now that Pullman of yours got me a little riled Wayne. I thought I had that one so I got out my set.
Nope, I didn’t have it but those Pullman’s are no stranger to me[Y]
I found out after that train show there is more than 5 to complete this set. I have bought one extra now and one in my cart, …I don’t know what I’m waiting for? I better send eBay a PayPal tonight[:-^]
So I’m going to post the Great Northern, North Dakota Pullman as my favorite.
More favorites please.
TF
Sweet!
That is one smooth center depression flat car Bear[:P] I can certainly see why that’s your favorite
Carry on[Y]

My father was in The 9th Queen’s Royal Lancers Regiment. As I like Class 52 locomotives (Westerns’) D1027 Western Lancer is a must have.
Anymore favorites?
David
One of my faves, a Roller Bearing Models waffle side boxcar lettered with Herald King decals. CNW had a large “flock” of these puppies and many showed up in Rapid City in the pre-DME days. This humperdill took quite some time to get together using 4 different glues. It was fun!![C):-)]
More fave’s palease!
This is my favorite freight car in the Train Set Fleet.
Show me another “billboard style” refrigerated boxcar.
-Kevin
Well, more of a reefer than a boxcar, but nice bold lettering![C):-)]
Any more billboard reefers gents?
Slightly more modern version.
More reffers.
