Walter - Were the CNJ ore cars really that orange/yellow color? I see old tyme pictures with Black paint and our beloved CNJ insignia in white. Thanks.....
I will want cars of roads that ran in Colorado and the plains states: Burlington, Rock Island, MoPAc, C&$, GW, D&RGW, D&FW, etc. A couple may be minor players but the rest got the goods to and from the Pacific Coast and Gulf, along with well supplied UP and ATSF.
@RMT - Ready Made Trains posted:Mike D...give me some roadname ideas.

Will these be offered in 2 rail?

I am glad you intend to include obscure and shortline railroads in you offerings. I am interested in the roads that served Colorado, and one l don`t think has any tinplate versions is the Colorado and Wyoming, which connected coal mines with the steel mill in Pueblo. The series of upper peninsula Mich. copper country road cars was interesting. There have to have been many other shortlines surviving through WWll to add variety to trains

Walter, do you mean to say these cars are easily converted to 2 rail or that they will be offered in 2 rail from the factory?
I got 2 boxcars already on order.
Walter,
How about a Picatinny Arsenal boxcar to go with the custom run, Pat's Trains ore cars?

Not sure if you guys take suggestions or not, but I'd love to see these with a black Southern Pacific Overnight paint scheme. I'd buy them instantly.
