Peter, I agree with Arnold, this is a very interesting topic.  I have liked running work trains since I was a kid (a few years ago!).

Here’s my contribution; MTH NYC 0-4-0 switcher no. 901 pulling a consist of postwar Lionel cars.  Three of the cars are custom, made from cheap flats purchase from under the table at train shows.  Can anyone tell me what car I used to create the reel car?  The K-line reels fit it perfectly.

6824 Automobile Flat Car? The profile looks like the black one I got in 1958 with the New Haven F3 freight set….

Nice consist!

I was at the NCTM today for a Mopar car show so went back into the roundhouse  for more images of the Southern Crane.  Dang thing is turned round now and tucked close to the last bay wall.

Thanks Palallin- it was a good find and mostly complete when I found it.  The yellow rails for the flat car came from the correct car but it was from a single sale later.  Of course, some -------has done a terrible thing on the box with their packing tape.  Someday I may figure out how to get that off without taking the box picture with it.

Thanks again for your comment

Don
