Boxcar Sunday let's see your boxcars.

PW Lionel New Haven With half serif N 1956-57 Type 2Bravo

Central Railroad of New Jersey boxcars #22485 and #25624 ran in my “New Jersey Train” with CNJ caboose #91530 behind Raritan River Rail Road #20, a USRA 0-6-0 steam switcher, on the O-36 inner loop of my 12’-by-8’ layout. The cars are identical except for the doors but neither has any identification of its manufacturer - which I believe is Crown Model Products.

Here's another one of MTH's KDKA series cars.  They made, and I have, 6 of them.  I showed the other 5 here in previous weeks.  What the series was, was one car from each decade and how KDKA was "there".

Well today I am posting a "new (at least to me)" NYC boxcar from Kline.  It was a new product in 1996 so it is some 29 years old.  The key to this one which makes it somewhat unique is the display of the NYC "Early Bird" logo, advertising speedy freight service.  I have included a close up of that logo for your interest as in my view its what makes this boxcar interesting.

One other thing which I am sure some of you may notice, when I purchased this boxcar it had been refitted with American Flyer S gauge trucks and link couplers...OH NO!  However,  I have the proper trucks and couplers on the way so there will soon be a refit.  In the meantime I can just enjoy the livery and the "Early Bird" on the side .

Happy Boxcar Sunday everyone, Hope your upcoming week goes well.

Best Regards

Don

A pair of wagon top boxcars today.  Both are MTH.

@tnkMarx  I have not seen these RailKing rounded roof cars very often.  Are these close to scale? 

My favorite (& only !) Great Northern boxcar. Made by Atlas , #3003503-1.  The couplers seem longer than most, but I assume there’s a good reason for it as Atlas tries hard to produce a realistic model.

Yes, close to scale.

Thanks Dave for getting us rolling !  My boxcar for this fine Sunday is this Weaver N&W boxcar which I weathered.
