That's a real nice hopper. I love that paint scheme!
By the way, is that MTH?
Thanks Keith, it's a Lionel car purchased off eBay.
Keith:
Congratulations on your new Evo. Wonderful engine.
I had passed on some Williams Western Pacific passenger cars at my LHS due to one care missing a part and rub marks on the top of a few of the cars. They also didn't have any boxes. I got home and thought about it "darn" I should have bought them anyway but poof at 90.00 for the set they were gone. I searched the bay for weeks trying to find these, well last Friday a set came up boxed like new. I ended up winning them for a wopping 104.00, that's what I'm talking about! I know these may not be prototypical or may never even existed but the match my F-3's. Now if I can just get that CZ 15" K-Line observation car that will be the bomb.

That is awesome and ultra cool I love those locomotives. Originally Posted by prrhorseshoecurve:

Atlas O PFE Union Pacific/Southern Pacific Rebuilt Aluminum Reefer. My LHS just put it in his display case and it caught my eye. He said he just pulled some "older stuff" out of storage. I joked he was holding out on me. It is part of a 2 pack from 2010. I didn't buy the partnered Illinois Central Reefer but I might go back for it if it sits there too long.
It's a beautiful car. I don't have actual pictures yet but here's the Atlas O shot.
Plenty of info online about the PFE prototypes. In 1946 two reefers were rebuilt in Aluminum with a seal coat paint in the hopes that the 10,000 lbs. weight savings would offset the cost of manufacture. I guess not. They were the only two built. One was in a wreck. The other one was scrapped in 1964.
edit 7/26/2014:
I pulled it out of the box for pictures.....

I want one!
OK, I'll pick it up tonight
picked up a 350 transfer table with extention needs cleaned up a little have a place all picked out for it on the layout.
ordered elevated system from tw trainworx
bought another sd90 #8048 UP
bought some scenery supplies from scenic express along with a tippi.
I have to get off of here now time to go to train therapy for my buying habit.
I got my CNW SD70ACe today from DASH Auctions and shure enough its broken
Went to the SAMRA show yesterday in San Antonio and picked up my first MTH loco. It's an older Premier SD60M as UP 6316, and I don't think it had ever been run. Also found an interesting old Lionel Southern diesel engine (that's turned out to be quite the growler, which is really cool) and a neat little Perrier box car (that the spousal unit buys for me by the case... the drink, that is)
It's the simpler things in life, you know... at any rate, I still haven't found me a Southern caboose yet!

That is one nice locomotive I picked a Nickel Plate Road 420 up a couple of weeks ago. A very nice locomotive.
I love my C-420 seaboard as well
