Pauls entry got me thinking about Railbox too. The Avis of the railroad industry in the 80's. Seen on every railroad across America. This model is a wood kit I did sometime ago, and still one of my favorites. My camera is almost on it's last leg, so manually focusing to get this shot, heres my entry. :)

Sorry there is no custom pain or weathering here on the MK&E railroad (low budget railroading at it's finest)
