A new month with new projects. Let's see what you have!

My latest: A Westerfield ATSF Bx-13 boxcar with some additional wood weathering to go. With the virus and social plans on hold for the summer, it's a great time to build out all of your kits collecting dust! 

Received such great help to my last question, thought I'd try again

Could I get some help identifying these HO Trains

• SP Oil Tanker. It's made of metal, and weighs 9 oz.
• SP Diesel Engine. Feels like metal. Weighs 16 oz. Has a stamping of 41018 on bottom

Inherited as one of several engines from my father who was avid modeler. I'm considering which to keep for my kids and which to sell.

No mfgr notation anywhere.

Hey guys, getting ready to precut all the parts for the first new layout module this evening (hopefully) after we get some yard work done and wondering about the height requirements for modern equipment. I know with my 50's stuff 4 to 41/2 is plenty, but it would be nice to be able to run loaded intermodal and the like every now and then or when I have people over to run trains. Despite having the layout set in the 1954, I do have an interest with modern stuff. Looking for actual height from bottom of wheel - not including flange - to the top of the car.

Once I went to the LHS and Bill was there saying he couldn't sell a Kato SD45 for $50.  I casually mentioned that was a good deal.  Anyway, next time I went in there was a Kato SD45 waiting for me, $50, please.  I guess I have an SP SD45 with DCC now.  I don't model SP but MRL had some former SP SD45s.  The model was already sort of weathered and outfitted with the SP light package and DCC.
