"HONGZ" stands for HO scale, N scale, G scale, and Z scale.

Post your non-O scale stuff here!

Does anyone know anything about the "BUCKEYE ROUTE" that this HO car ran on?

  I bought this on ebay years ago thinking it was an Athearn car, imagine my surprise when I removed it from the box and found that it weighed far more than an Athearn car. It is a very well constructed wood kit (Quality Craft?). I have not been able to find out anything and realized that I had never thought of asking here as I am mainly an O scale two-railer. TIA

EDIT: I just realized that I took that photo on the small "layout" on my front porch in Florida and I have been here in Chester for almost nine years!

Reporting marks "BR" belong to Bradford Industrial Rail, so I suspect this is purely a free-lance railroad. The "Next Load / Any Road" slogan might mean the car was originally lettered for Railbox, and the modeler removed some of the lettering and added their own.

AAR Railroad Reporting Marks (2023) (railserve.com)

p.s. I believe Quality Craft did make a Railbox kit, I think before it was available in plastic.
