Loading Dock at the Assembly Plant

That is good work!

I don't know how much factory you are going to build. Corners and docks with trucks coming and going (As well as jacking the trailers round to back em in will leave tiremarks or smudge here and there.

A very interesting load and rail car indeed.

Great job Bernie.

Now on real Canadian National/Grand Trunk Western freight trains the 60' Auto Parts Box cars were gradually taken out of service starting in 2000, then by 2007 there were none left.  What is left are all of the 86' Auto Parts Box Cars. In order to model the real trains on the Grand Trunk Western since the late 1960's to present day many of the 86' Auto Parts Box Cars are needed in O Gauge GTW and Conrail trains.

Andrew. These are 86 ft cars , all these cars were auto parts cars. Living in Dearborn in the early 70's I saw many of these in all railroads

Thanks Matt for the acknowledgement .

hi John , I cast the frames myself

The Pullman-Standard and Thrall Car 86'Box Cars are great, especially with opening doors. I would like to have at least one of the 4-Doors per side version for Detroit & Toledo ShoreLine. I would have to scratchbuild it or buy a kit sometime. They would most likely cost $150-$200 if they were limited to small production runs.

Thank you for the photos.
