Before my request-time expires, I’ll explain briefly why I made it. The photos below show my 460#s on an M-Track carpetbahn pulled by a BR 55 (No. 55-5415 from a 29840 set). Most have OEM loads, some are home-made. I’d still very much like to see a few examples of how others have used such older cars if anyone has them. Steventrain appears to have some similar gondolas shown in the last two photos of Post #145. Reason = I’m upgrading my layout and rolling stock, and am vacillating between keeping or selling & replacing them as I proceed. A few more examples from the Forum (even some in a mixed consist) may help me make that decision. I’ll wait patiently.

Well . . . . . new requests have slowed here, so I’ll try to give a restart. Updating my last post, I’ve decided not to sell my set of old sturdy Relex-coupled 4601, -02 & -04 coal gondolas. I even found a few more to add, and the consist’s become one of my favorites. Photos attached. My new request is for a consist with white or light-colored Grain Silo Cars, similar to Marklin’s #46323, #46321, or similar sets. A mixed consist is fine, and even better if they’ve been weathered a bit. As before, the photos might appear stretched because of their cropping. If they do, click to enlarge them for the correct perspective.Regards -- Richard DumbGuy attached the following image(s): |

Richard, I'm glad you've decided to keep them. You have a good size coal train going. They look to be in excellent shape, not warping like so many of the 46xx gondolas do over time. I only have one of these, but it is a family favourite. -Brandon |

Brandon -- Yes, all in great shape, with no warps, and raised & embossed side-lettering that I like. Collected gradually over the years. Along with these, I’d had a very nice 10-car #46030 set that was excellent to display, but just too delicate to use on track. My decision last month was which set to keep . . . . . the 46030 set went to eBay, the 460x’s will stay. Now just waiting with bated-breath to see a few Grain Silo Cars. Regards -- Richard |

Hi, Someone must have a photo or two of grain cars. Here is a photo courtesy of a French retailer, PierreDominique. They are era IV SNCF wagons made by Makette in HO. I do own one of these, but no photo I can show on the internet.  And another Jouef car from Cherbourg Maquettes, from whom I buy a couple of models.  And the real thing. These cars are ubiquitous in Canada, there are currently over 17,000 of them, built for the Government to facilitate Canada's grain harvest and shipment. Multiple colours abound, her is an example.  Now I would like to see a photo of an American tank car.regards Kimball Edited by user 29 January 2014 07:31:37(UTC)

Hi Brandon, What a classic photo. I love the twist, one and a  half. That is a sanding tower perhaps, what a beauty. Coaling towers were often similar, only much larger. regards Kimball |

Hi, This one is at Selby, over the Ouse River in England, in the 1970s. The diesel-electric engine was one of the Deltics, so named because they operated three banks of engines.  A river-side view showing the operating house spanning the tracks.  regards KImball |

Richard, the rules of this game means you ought not to post until after 24 hours of the last post, if there has been no reponse to that post.
For example, if after 24 hours, no person comes up with a photo of the 43981, yourself, or anyone else, is free to post on any other subject.

So now that you have revived it, yes, let's see a #43981 4-car set of Palatine-Pfalz Era I coaches & cars, as asked for by Richard

I'd have most of those freight cars though. I can do the freight cars and the blue Br194, but I don't have a green one, strangely enough! The challenge stands, if anyone can do it. |

Excellent, Ray!!! You avoided the "obvious" trap!!! (I did not really expect a prototype photo of the Märklin BR 53 Mallet).... The Prussian G3 is a fully valid entry for the question (BR 53), even if it's not by Borsig (optional), nor is it in DRG livery in the photo. What I was really looking for as the trickiest full option answer was the Saxonian V (or V V) by Borsig, haven't seen a pic of that.... Here's another DRG BR 53, The Wuerttemberg Fc.  Now over to you, Ray. |

Hi, I have seen many photos of engines being loaded or unloaded from ships. Many locomotives were made for export over the last two centuries. To be loaded or unloaded, they have to be in the air for at least 10 minutes. Here is one example, from Ireland.  Now I would like to see a train carrying an aeroplane (following the theme....)regards Kimball |
