One of my favorite freight cars is the Triple Crown Roadrailer. I have only seen it once before and sadly from afar at one lucky park visit where what I think is the BNSF crossed the UP (unsure). Below are two prototype images and also some photos of a great model.

We are in the model railroad hobby so love to see cars from other model railroads on the layout.  Two new additions. I have purchased off of eBay 15 undecorated 50ft box cars that I am going to paint Grande Pacific and Mid South for my layout and to swap with other people will post when they are finished.

 The Crescent Lines is the name of the Crescent City Model Railroad Club Railroad.

Here is the March up date and I am looking for any photos of Martin Drake Coal Plant in Colorado Springs 1960 or earlier. I can see all kinds of photos today or in the last 20 years. But I can tell from the maps i have from 1958 that the plant was much smaller. From Google Earth i can see two of the old brick building. So if any one can help with photos or a web site that I may have missed please let me know.

I was gone quite awhile (still have been reading stuff though) due to parents telling me to take a break. Haven't had  a chance to do much railroading but just read one of the latest Model Railroad Magazine and saw the club by me EMRRC (Elmhurst Model Railroad Club) has their N scale layout wired up for touchscreen computer control seems like a worthwhile trip since it is only a 20 minute drive just have to get my parents to take me out there.
