HI All

I just joined after I found the site in a search. I like the format.
I model 1900, not too many people model this era in HO. Here is my favorite car. On my road, the car with UP 119 have been restored and visiting. I also need to put the couplers on. Not sure if I want the link & pin or Janney coupler.

I have the photographer with the old style camera that needs to be painted.

Hey, Lexon! Welcome to the Gauge!! That photographer's car...
just way too cool for words. Awesome! Terrific! Unique, come to mind. As a photographer, (of sorts,) I really really enjoy seeing it!
Great work! :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

Generally, the boxcar because it can be readily converted to a multitude of other uses, although the flatcar would be neck and neck for the same reason.

You and me both!

Very simply, I love the 1920 Billboard Reefers, Just imagine a long string of these colorful Reefers going through town. One big rolling Billboard

Me to! And because their only 30 to 40 footers the train can be as long as the power can handle.
