Boxcar Sunday, Let's see your boxcars.

From a recent visit to the NC museum of transportation.

This Sunday's boxcars.

Thought I'd revive this post after being absent for a couple of years. 

Everyone always added great pics.

A Lionel  operating boxcar

A MTH voltage car

And our newest family fascination 

LEGOS

Enjoy

Dad worked for the BR&P as a young guy so this B&P boxcar runs on the Plywood Empire Route:

Plus, as a kid I rode excursion trains on the B&O Buffalo branch which had been the BR&P.

The green express box Weaver?

Dominic, Weaver it is.  One is listed in the For Sale or Trade Forum.  John in Lansing, ILL

Thanks everyone for joing back in. Had a feeling this post would transfer to this section and that's ok.

What is the 'window' in the end of this car?  John in Lansing, ILL

This post would not be complete with the quintessential 6464 post war boxcar...

Rattler21 - according to John White - The American Railroad Freight Car -  the end ventilator opening originated with combination cars which had both solid and barred main doors. The cars could be used for hauling either cattle or general merchandise.  The end ventilator doors were also useful for loading lumber and became a relatively common auxiliary on many standard boxcars.

This is my Custom Hood's Milk Car to go with my Hood's Milk Factory and Hood's Delivery Truck.

How about some Kusan Boxcars.

Heh, I happen to have all the cars in the original post aside from the red KRR and Southern Pacific shown above.

Someday I'll put my Kusan mini-collection in one train and shoot video.

Nice to see this great thread revived!

Box Car Sunday on Norfolk Southern

...and before there were 6464's there were

2454's

4454's

and the long running 6454's

For this Boxcar Sunday.

Found this beauty buried in a moving box yesterday. 

My trio of Weaver B&O wagon top boxcars. 

My latest conversion: 

...boxcars in the music of it all...

FrankM, still playing with trains, after all these years.

                           Atlas 'O' UP/MP 60' hi-cube dbl. door boxcar at NJ Hirailers, Paterson, NJ. 

One thing about modeling the Pennsy is you need a lot of X-29 boxcars.  Here are a few of mine.

The Pennsy had over 29,000 of these.

Here are some more boxcar pics for this fine Sunday!  The first photo , a N&W, is one I weathered last Sunday.  The second shows part of a Weaver B&O Sentinel boxcar, and the third, a follow up to my prior post today, shows the B&O brown wagon top car.

Some cars out on the layout..
