I built this car from a Proto 2000 kit. It’s a double-decker with two floors. Note the poop stains. I wouldn’t want to ride on the first floor. Or anywhere for that matter! [%-)]
More livestock cars, please.
Here’s an express horse car…
Its prototypes were used mostly for transporting racehorses, but had collapsible stalls, so they could also be used as regular baggage/express cars.
I built mine to match a photo of the real one, replacing the sides of a Rivarossi coach with Evergreen passenger car siding, then added scratchbuilt doors and a few details. Lettering is from C-D-S, and paint is SMP Accupaint.
More livestock cars, please.

Hmmm! Two days have passed, so I guess you’ll have to settle for this steel trestle, Mel…
The railroad calls it the Park Head trestle, but to most folks in nearby Park Head, it’s just “the bridge”.

Please show some loco servicing facilities.
Paul says…Please show some loco servicing facilities.
Diesel locomotion is still relatively a new idea on the Dutchtown & Geismar, so the maintenance crews hurriedly set up this refuling station.
Steam locomotives need water…
…and sand, too…
This one needs to top-up the fuel supply before leaving town…
More locomotive servicing, please.

A little late but here is my trestle. It is the tail of a wye. The little stubs at the bottom of the bents are the remains of the original trestle.
Back to locomotive maintenance.
