Make-believing:

I'm using mine more now as a stationary display since I got the Mi-Jack.   This was a year ago. I'll be setting it up again at an elementary school display in April. We are going to try to show what railroads do in Baltimore: Container services, coal exports, and automobile Ro-Ro's.

Anybody got some auto-racks for sale cheap?  

A little from my TOFC project.. era 1953-1959 midwestern to west

CORSAIR, I agree with JUSHAVNFUN, it is a nice video. RATTLER21, nice collection of TOFC's. I don't know how to do a video to here so here is my TOFC train in pics......................Paul

Very nice Sirt

Those Weaver flats with trailers sure are nice. At the other end of the spectrum in realness and detail here are a few of my favorite Rail King flats:

Really enjoyed this guys. Nice equipment 

More make-believing:

I recently bought some cars from a forum member. One of them was a Western Maryland TOFC. It didn't fit under my upper level so when life gives you lemons- make lemonade.

The trailer frames are Lionel and I slightly modified the flat car to hold them down.

This is the car pre-modification

Here’s some  Railway express agency (REA) Piggyback Trailers on Lionel PS-4 Flatcars  being unloaded by Drayage Dan.

These are on the porch waiting to go up to the attic layout.  Waiting for two more to come in today that I will post later. Pics.............Paul 2

Paul. Very nice keep us posted when you get them I would like to see them

Johan. Great weathering as always 

Here’s a couple Lionel PS-4 I need to weather the decks some day 

As always, I love all the layout pictures. It let's me see layouts that I will never get to visit. All of you do great work. I witnessed circus unloading once years ago on the L&N. They let down the little ramps between the cars and a truck tractor would back down the cars until it got to a trailer to be unloaded. The driver would couple up and then drive forward back to the inclined ramp and drop the trailer on the ground there. Then he would repeat the process until the whole cut of flat cars was unloaded. Almost every town of any size had a ramp like that. The loading and unloading would typically be handled by a contractor like a local moving and storage company.

Lee, they finally came in this afternoon. These were on my list for York. It's my needle in a haystack of finding scarce items. These cars were a special run by JD's Trains, I believe. 100 were made. Pics...............Paul 2

Wow! Great pics. You guys are hard core.

Sweet!  I’m looking for the Riss one I just got done ordering it from JD Trains in St. Louis Mo.( I use to love going there) sadly Weaver closed the doors before he sent in the order. At the time he was very busy at work and was gone a lot. Great fine Paul

great looking Pacemaker Freight.

Here’s some of my Railway Express Agency (REA) Piggyback Trailers. Most are Lionel one is a Berkshire Valley  32’ trailer that I custom painted and decal along with the Revell White 3000 cab over tractor.

The piggy backs (I only have one that I rarely run, but will soon) make for very realistic and attractive unit trains, IMO. Arnold

Moving some empty pig flats 

Here is MTH Premier  C&O piggy back trailer and I also have Lionel Mopar Express piggy back trailer with Mopar Express piggy back trailers. 

Home Town favorite

Here’s some more shots of piggy’s and piggy’s at work
