To All: This installment of Early Rail Cars has as it's backdrop. Valley Jct. Interlocking Tower. Photo #1-The LaCross & Southeastern had as its's slogan "The Coon Valley Route". It became part of the MILW ROAD but is now abandoned. A scratchbuilt car. Photo #2-The Philadelphia & Reading (better known as the Reading) is a craftsman kit by Virginia Foundry & Model Works by John Canfield. This car was part of a freight pool. I assembled,painted and lettered the car. Photo #3-This is a Roundhouse car put out by a historical society. It features the "bulls eye" scheme. Photo #4-The Indiana, Illinois & Iowa became a part of the Chicago, Indiana & Southern which became part of the NYC RR. A scratchbuilt car. Yours, Elvin Howland/E. St.Louis Rail Group Layout.

WOW!

Your assortment of early cars is fantastic!  (Make sure visitors have napkins with them; drool is bad for trains!)  Could you perhaps share some of your locomotives or passenger equipment, if any?

You are inspirational!
