I have quite a few 6415 and 6425 dome cars. I bought 3 new dome cars, all with a nod to my father. The first (and with only a slight connection) is a Timken car. His company must have dealt with Timken because he kept bringing home Timken bearings (you can use only so many paperweights). Another reason for buying the Timken car was because it was made in the USA. The second car is a MobilGas. He worked for a division of Mobil Chemical that produced paints and industrial coatings throughout my childhood. The third car is Valspar. They bought the plant from Mobil a few years after I left.
