Hmmm...

Those 50 or so foot Evans box cars always looks nice, any road name works for me, as they look modern but still connects with older cars. I guess when I went yo 0-scale, the first freight car was an Atlas one in Boston and Maine paint. 

Short list.

Any GN boxcar, Vermilion with huge white slant lettering

GN or NP 25' caboose

As Far As Berwick cars go...

N&StL (Norwood & St. Lawrence RR)

I worked on it one long summer from April 1 to around the middle of October.

Painkiller: What road do you model? 2- or3-rail 'O'?

TED: Yeah, It's a nice scheme. Funny tho how the manufacturers still can't get it right with the 3500-series (40' double door) and the 35000-series cars(50' double door). I keep seeing 50 footers with 3500-series numbers and that covers ALL scales at that!

Trolleydrvr: Were they part of the Pickens railroad lines family?

I'll be starting work prepping a basement room for a layout in about another week. Then build a couple of TOMA's for an N scale DOUGLAS, PONDEROSA & WESTERN. It's a small room, but I can start with a 12' one town switching layout.

SP in Lafayette Louisiana

DaveB: I lived in Lafayette Louisiana on and off with my Grandparents between 1967 and 1975. We were originally living across the highway from the Sunbeam bakery. SP had quite an assortment of power at the yard and engine terminal during those years. I witnessed many variations of switchers, local, and mainline power. SP always put on a good show for us railfans.
