Reply to "Boxcar Sunday let's see your boxcars."

@trumpettrain- Patrick I loved the Tucker boxcar and your dealership.  The Tucker story is clearly a tale of "being right too soon".

@pennsyfan - I spent a career working aircraft for both the Navy and the Air Force and I am sorry to say that "nose art" is no longer permitted in either case . By regulation you might get a squadron logo but you don't even necessarily get your name under the cockpit rail anymore (aircraft change out too often and you "fly what maintenance brung!" ).  Great boxcars though!

Well for my input today, I am continuing with my collection of Kline, 8" small boxcars, that more or less match the Marx "deluxe" boxcars of the 50's and 60's.  These are the perfect size for my small yard and tight radii turns and they match the size and livery look of the Marx cars (although the couplers have to be modified on the Marx side- I typically use a "transition car" an old car with different couplers on either end).

Today we have the "Ford Products" boxcar.  I will admit to being a "Ford man" for most of my driving career starting with a   '64 1/2 Mustang when they first came out.  I don't have a date of issue for this car, I could not find any such data in my Kline listings but I would imagine that its late 80's to early 90's.   It was part of the Kline "Keystone" series.
