Greetings all, I was emailed this business car photo, I felt compelled to share with the group, I have to model one of these for an operating session. Perhaps to be pulled behind the Hindsight Industrial Railroad's "business train". Perhaps a car with more capacity would be in order for our operating sessions. Tom H.
I need one in ATSF blue and yellow and the tribute will be complete. Perhaps I'll crank up Photoshop tomorrow. Mike
It's obvious that none of you guys worked on a system maintenance of way (MOW) gang before these became a standard amenity. One of these is the Taj Mahal compared to an empty spike can.
Are these what they call "self contained Methane generators"? For those who are creative, a self powered one on the layout would be really cool.
Well sooner or later, someone will suggest somebody should do one of these for the Frisco. Let's start the debate! Should it be: - Frisco steam engine black with a graphite door and a red roof - Frisco freight diesel black and yellow - Frisco passenger diesel red with gold stripes outlined in white (sounds pretty nice!) - Frisco passenger diesel red with dulux stripes - Frisco freight diesel Mandarin orange and white - or, Frisco MOW silver? Think long and hard on this - this is an important choice! K
Ha HA HA I have to go for the "steam" version. Self powered of course from methane gas. Need to add a smokestack.
After thinking about this a bit, I think we need one more paint configuration: Steam black, etc., with gold Doric trim as in passenger locomotives. I think steam passenger livery is the most appropriate since the car does carry people. Mike
