Midwest Monday

@Apples55 posted:

I don’t have much midwestern rolling stock on my roster, but I do have two very colorful entries from the Milwaukee Road…

And now a question for the Milwaukee roadies amongst us… I really like the dark red trucks on these two cars. Was that a standard on the Milwaukee Road???

Paul,

Can you tell me who made the reefer ?

Thanks

Ray

As I said, I don’t have a lot of Midwest cars on my roster, but the Milwaukee car was just too beautiful to pass up. It is an MTH Railking Milwaukee Road 50’ Double Door Boxcar, number 30-71055.

Paul,

Thanks for the info, it is a beautiful car, something I thought we may use as a fest car.

Nice set up Don. Thanks for the complement on the truck I have another one I did today to put on the new O27 layout. Take care

Happy MWM guys really late so here’s this O27 Lionel M&STL boxcar. Enjoy your week

Busy place

A little late this week but better late than ever.  A pair of extremely well built Lionel 2031 Rock Island Alco FA units circa 1952-1954 hauling a freight on the Shenandoah Short Line.  The motors in these post-war early Alcos were some of the best Lionel ever manufactured.

following OKHIKER here is another Rock Island loco and caboose.  This pair by Marx.

LEE, no one posted for several weeks.

I was hoping that by posting more, perhaps some new/additional OGR members would find the group and become interested.

If "Monday only" is your order, please confirm.  I believe you founded the group and will follow your directions.

I have tried to be a positive supporter and don't want to ruin what you've got going by posting too much or too frequently.

Thanks Jim but let’s keep it on Monday’s and yes I published this thread

Good thing we only post on Mondays to this topic.  3 months since the last post - yikes!!!

Decided to work on a different method for making tall pine trees and decided to put this Milwaukee Road Atlantic on this incomplete section.
