Morning guys, sure is a lot of wonderful looking cars! I am sorry as I do not have anything to share, all my cars are packed up during construction except 1 for track testing! LOL

Side note, Bob if you need another Reading Box car, I have one that is just taking up space. I put it up for sale a couple of months ago and no takers. I will make you a screaming deal on it if you're interested!

Wow, Box Car Sundays sure come around quicker and quicker, a fun to review thread, there lots of “READING” posted here this Sunday, just a play on words. The Reading box cars are uniquely beautiful. Today I’m just showing some cars I like, Wings of Angels, we all have angels watching over us in one way or another.

I love the "Wings of Angels" series. I'm considering getting the entire set, but they seldom go on sale. Wonder why...

I don't have any BEEPs but from what I can see they definitely must be addictive .

I hope you can get a bigger layout together. ............there have been posts on layouts that are expanded by sawing through walls

No walls to saw through, Dallas, as our family room entertainment system sits opposite the wall my layout's on. For now, my big locos have to suffer the indignity of "floor running." How did we ever get to the point that basements are not standard like they used to be?

Well everyone, its Christmas (sort of) morning and here in Tybee Island, Ga its COLD (24 deg) but No snow.  In all our years here we have only had a fraction of an inch of snow once about 4 years ago and it was gone by noon.  So Santa really has to land on the roof !  It was 13 deg in Waco, Texas where we live most of the year so that is not going to be any advantage.

Well in Celebration of this Holiday, here are a few Christmas scenes and cars for you.  By the way Patrick, I am a bird watcher and I just love that "Cardinal Car" you displayed.  Who made that ? 

Here are a couple of shots of Santa working around the Leonardtown and Savannah!

Well HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone, its the very first Box Car Sunday of 2023!!  @Dave Ripp.- Great boxcar and thanks for getting us going and keeping the thread up @leapinlarry- Great cars and those fellows siting inside look like they are getting comfortable for the long haul @Krieglok - super workmanship as always, these latest ones, especially those that are more or less yellow appear to be of an older vintage, perhaps 19th century? Anyway they are really super Tom thanks for posting. @das boot - Man, not sure where you get your inspiration but that is one crazy car.  Loved seeing it!

Well I guess I have to move on and make some sort of contribution.  I will be "off line" for a couple of days as we travel home to Texas starting at (Way too early!!) tomorrow.  So here are a couple from the archives.

Well leapinlarry looks like you don't have the only "accomodation" for those "Knights of the Road"  Here is the Marx Joy Line locomotive and "Hobo Rest" box car from about 1934.

Here is our local industry (Door and Sash) getting a new drill press to start the new year.  Railway Express is handling the final deliver from the Leonardtown and Savannah unloading point to the front door of the factory.  The foreman, in the cowboy hat, is waiting to give final instructions to the fork lift operator for the transfer.  The delivery is from a relatively modern Maryland and Pennsylvania (MPA) box car,

Well that's it for today fellows.  Thanks for all the great posts last year and looking forward to 2023.

Best Wishes

Don
