Reefer in CNR's 1933 experimental aluminum paint. Was supposed to keep things cooler than the standard paint scheme - it didn't, and the paint only lasted about a year or so.

Another outside braced box

An older Athearn (?) steel sided caboose. The CNR tilted wafer on green leaf is circa WW2, so a bit of a mismatch with the rest of the train, but I liked the marker lights so picked it up from the LHS bargain table anyway... Wink

Well...... ummm ....... ok ok ok i confess!!!!! i bought two 4-8-2's and a 2-8-0 for a n scale layout thats on the drawing board. There i said it Icon_lol
(Oh there's no going back now railroader9731...I predict a few more steam purchases in your future.) Icon_lol

Andrew - you're right. As a "diesel" guy, pictures like yours really make me consider getting heavily involved in steam. Each engine has such a different look...a quality modern diesel engines lack. I'm already a fan of the "Hudson's".
