Model Railroading > 60 foot high-cube boxcarsDate: 05/25/20 11:50 60 foot high-cube boxcars Author: Jimmies A couple of 60 foot high-cubes will wait until the GTW road switcher moves them along.

You don't make money on stuff that is sitting in the yard.
Scrapyards are like railroad yards. A full one is a sure sign of trouble. (And less expensive to model.) Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 05/31/20 15:56 by PHall. |
