I've never seen any explosive or gunpowder freight in the states, I believe I have seen some marked for ammunition, however.

I like the scenes. Always an interesting perspective!

 

[logandsawman]

Yep !

Where did the French fry become associated with Explosives?

I find it as curious as creative, Chris

Only in my one-neuron brain.

Old truck at the sawmill:

Some of my favorite box cars and a few lumber loads, to boot!

Running past the spur. Using an inherited piece of old rolling stock for a fallen flag to use with a much newer loco and rolling stock.

Happy Friday everyone!

A very old diesel (50 years or so). With a few little drops of oil at the right places, it runs very well !

I love these oldies. The model is cool looking as well, Thanks for sharing!

Conducted some switching operations with the S-1 in Groningen:

I have 2 of these 50' NP box cars, the other one is by the sawmill, visible in a previous post. I used think these were modern but they were present even in the 1920's. They carried large and bulky freight, such as buggies and autos. The ends can swing open as well.

Out In The Country.

Musgrave of Armley freight wagon. Saw this wagon in my local model railway store. A model correct to timeframe and area I am modelling.

Great scene, the "freight wagon " something like what we call a gondola.

I assume tare would be the tare wt. 7.2.2 must be-how many kilos?

Funny that we also use the term tare predominately in the trucking industry, but our old freight cars say "empty wt"

Thank you for posting!

My two UP diesels. For the record, the first one is a dummy.

Christain - I am a big fan of the UP color scheme. Their locos frequent the track that runs through our town, even though it is a BNSF mainline.

Thanks for posting! Dave LASM

Thank you for your comments, Dave.
What you call a gondola is a open wagon here.
How many kilos? I am too old to work out such stuff. 7.2.2 is heavy.

Very nice rolling stock, is that some sort of coat of arms between the large lettering?

Yes. Each Royal navy ship have their own coat of arms. R.N shore bases are named after ships and they also have their own c.o.a.
