Well first let me thank leapinlarry for reminding all of us the seriousness of remembering this day in our history. Prayers for all those who perished and condolences for their families.
Well my offering this fine Sunday morning is a bit off track, its a refrigerator car not a box car but I think that will be OK. My wife's beloved younger sister is named Ruth so a couple of weeks ago when we were at a train show and saw this great refr with the livery "Baby Ruth" in big bold red letters, acquisition was a must .
Made by Lionel (MPC) in its early years, the #9854 Baby Ruth refr was uncatalogued in 1972 and then offered in the catalog in 1973-1976.
Well Dave, your layout is looking really good and who doesn't have unfinished projects! leapinlarry, the brakeman better close that door on the MKT cattle car or we will have a "cow on the tracks" P.S. for those of you who are not collectors, American Flyer in its early post war years had a great accessory called..."cow on the tracks" in which a cow was mid track and then when the on-coming train hit a sensor it jumped off just in time.
Best wishes for this remembrance Sunday
Don
