Show off
I'm using mine more now as a stationary display since I got the Mi-Jack. This was a year ago. I'll be setting it up again at an elementary school display in April. We are going to try to show what railroads do in Baltimore: Container services, coal exports, and automobile Ro-Ro's.
Anybody got some auto-racks for sale cheap?

CORSAIR, I agree with JUSHAVNFUN, it is a nice video. RATTLER21, nice collection of TOFC's. I don't know how to do a video to here so here is my TOFC train in pics......................Paul
Very nice Sirt
Really enjoyed this guys. Nice equipment
I recently bought some cars from a forum member. One of them was a Western Maryland TOFC. It didn't fit under my upper level so when life gives you lemons- make lemonade.
The trailer frames are Lionel and I slightly modified the flat car to hold them down.
This is the car pre-modification
These are on the porch waiting to go up to the attic layout. Waiting for two more to come in today that I will post later. Pics.............Paul 2
Paul. Very nice keep us posted when you get them I would like to see them
Johan. Great weathering as always
As always, I love all the layout pictures. It let's me see layouts that I will never get to visit. All of you do great work. I witnessed circus unloading once years ago on the L&N. They let down the little ramps between the cars and a truck tractor would back down the cars until it got to a trailer to be unloaded. The driver would couple up and then drive forward back to the inclined ramp and drop the trailer on the ground there. Then he would repeat the process until the whole cut of flat cars was unloaded. Almost every town of any size had a ramp like that. The loading and unloading would typically be handled by a contractor like a local moving and storage company.
Lee, they finally came in this afternoon. These were on my list for York. It's my needle in a haystack of finding scarce items. These cars were a special run by JD's Trains, I believe. 100 were made. Pics...............Paul 2

Sweet! I’m looking for the Riss one I just got done ordering it from JD Trains in St. Louis Mo.( I use to love going there) sadly Weaver closed the doors before he sent in the order. At the time he was very busy at work and was gone a lot. Great fine Paul

great looking Pacemaker Freight.
The piggy backs (I only have one that I rarely run, but will soon) make for very realistic and attractive unit trains, IMO. Arnold
Moving some empty pig flats
Here is MTH Premier C&O piggy back trailer and I also have Lionel Mopar Express piggy back trailer with Mopar Express piggy back trailers.
A little late coming to the party. One on display, the other on the layout making some revenue!

AZGARY, custom made Lionel trailers?

The Pontiac Racing is custom. I bought an old trailer,gave it a fresh coat of white paint . Then I applied decals that I have had for at least 20 years. I was very happy they worked. The Ford trailer has an extra decal added to the front.

Thanks, Rusty. Just for fun, here’s one more. Train 991, headed east. Some day I have to figure out how to get some UPS drop frame trailers in 1/48 for this one:
Johan, I can't wait to see those trailers after you're done weathering them.
Trumptrain, you have some of the best action pics, people actually doing something..thanks for showing them

Thanks so much Ray! I love to create various scenes on my layout. When I hosted the thread " Team Track Tuesday" I had to come up with a new scene every week. I really got into the idea of allowing scenes to be more convincing by accurately placing people in the roles of doing the work at at hand.
I have seen most of those movies and they are wonderful! Thanks for the reminder!
Great thread guys thanks for continuing to share
