If it is rare, rolls & can be pulled... it goes here. I want to see and hear about the rare rolling stock out there. I have a collection of rare 89' TOFCs made from E & D kits. All one off. I also have 89' Boeing Flats and Container Cars. With a 737 load. REA 50' Reefer Steel side (two versions) REA 50' Reefer Wood side. (one in PFE express paint as well)
Eddie, I was going to say my Tropicana reefers, but I remember Ed turners has those also, so I say its my CSX Big Blue 50' high cube. I also have a Tropican tank car, and I believe my CSX airslide is one of the kind.
Other than my Hallmark powered models in Z I have low boy flats that I have built in two and four truck styles for carrying heavy machinery. My original Rogue GP38 and my Saskatchewan grain car.
D&H in Z For me being a D&H collector I find D&H being in Z rare! Here is my entire collection in one post... I know there are a few more of these out there but also at a $$$ I can't see paying...
