Description
...or van, or wagon, or whatever you fancy calling it.
Certainly this is an opinion, but Iβm not sure there ever has been a better-proportioned rail vehicle than the classic European four-wheeled covered goods car. (Which is NOT to say that this picture captures those proportions! But... it comes close, methinks. XD)

For my birthday, I got a standard GWR 12-ton fish van. Pics are up of it.

If I had a salt wagon on my GWR modular layout, I'd paint it grey with 'Munitions' on the sides in red.

Cruz I figure, if it can haul salt, gunpowder is no different. Plus, there are pictures of them with munitions. Made a model of a certain dockside crane from a certain show, a German 0-6-0+oil lamp + cowcatcher, a steam tramper, why not? XD! Seriously though, my Puffa custom has card stock tanks, so remaking TUGS munitions is IMPROSSIBRU!

I'd always use it near a dock next to a large crane as well as a naval tramper named "Kraka-Toa".

I take it by your icon and deviations that by "the tv series" you mean "Thomas the Tank Engine."

Hmm, judging by the peaked roof, this must be a salt wagon!

Really! O.o I'll be, learn something every day.

Ah, definitely has that European look to it - I had one very similar to this (Even in colour!) in N Scale at one point!

Oh wow, that's pretty neat.

Mmm, I need more HO boxcars. But I'm a fan of the modern brown CN cars, for some reason. I could have entire trains of these , specifically the middle one.

Yeah, I do love seeing those cars in real life (though I'm even more fond of the ones with sliding doors

This, again, saddens me that my city no longer has tracks. In the town I grew up in, I'd see these boxcars, among others, several times a day. I prefer the sliding doors as well.

Say, Does the Valdeen Railway have any of these Vans?
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't think so (unless maybe they're really old and abandoned on some siding somewhere O.o). Valdeen does have some larger 4-axel (2-truck) boxcars of rather similar design, if I recall correctly. Arched-roofed, though.

Yup. Maybe even some metal ones (I seem to recall some with horizontal ribs, kinda Milwaukee Road-style), but I may be mistaken.

You're too good.
I've really gotta do a decent dedication for ya one of these days!

Ah yes, I was thinking of making a GSBW poster bragging about how the SMPG has one of its engines on its top brass train!
Any ideas for it...? Stats regarding the train might come in handy!

curved roof and you would have a BR standard van! (and you forgot to say carriage) XD

I thought a carriage was a passenger car! (Confound European terminology always has confused me! XD)
