I've long been a fan of transfer cabooses. Somewhere in my files I have LOTS of pics of this big variety of cars. And I have a number of them as well as kits for them, as well as flat cars, and other cars that might be kit-bashed into them.
 

So it was with an admiring eye that I spotted this one at a train show this weekend. Had to have it, whether it was prototypical or not.
 

Favorite Freight Cars:

Berwick Forge & Fabricating (Berwick, PA) 50' Box (GN 1970 order 138000-138099? and 319100-319499 Series)

Pacific Car & Foundry 57' Mechanical Refrigerator (PFE/SPFE/UPFE WFEX, BREX, others?)

Railgon 52' 6" Gondola

AAR 53' 6" Flat car (and log flat conversion log bunks without decking)

I did not get as much done on my bench work as I planned mostly due to the lack of materials to work with.

However I did manage to get a 4 ft section in and the frame for my swing gate. 

Here are a couple of photos of the progress.

until next time.

I am thinking of adding background sound to a section of my layout. Has anyone used the Pricom Dreamplayer and what are your result and experience? I like the LTE version but am wondering if the trigger can be produced by Digitrax block detection. In other words the player would only start a track if the block becomes occupied?

Prof K I see that your listed in the credits on this product. Do you have input on it?
