Many an hour I was held up watching long lines of these (and the less visually appealing Hydracushion variant) blocking traffic while undertaking painfully slow switching operations.
It took me 8 years to find this version in O. We should try to get MTH to do a special run of plain, early ‘90s SP boxcars. I think this may be Weaver but it didn’t come with a box. I also think it’s depicting a much older paint scheme but this is the closest I’ve come.
Yes. Plus UP TTG Express boxcars. And the UP express boxcar that got damaged when UP 844 and UP 1982 had a wheel slip/ braking incident near San Antonio TX. Do not know why the express box used on UP's steam trains. Just gree on me.
