From the cross country routes of today, we
present BNSF's latest creation- "the Swoosh Logo". The designers
slanted the letters to give the classic indication of a 'Speed
Logo', and the results is a beautiful fast moving freight. When
BNSF finishes their work, all of their cars will wear this striking
new identity. To keep your railroad just as up to date, the NSC has
commissioned Intermountain Railway to produce the new paint scheme
on their 3 bay covered hoppers. They will have Micro-Trains wheels
and couplers as well as etched metal se-thru roof walk. These are
absolutely
beautiful!
- Great Northern Railway -
Grain Hoppers of the
1960's
"Grain Loading" gives
away the type of cargo which these ACF Covered Hoppers hauls on a
daily basis throughout the Pacific Northwest. The cars are painted
in Glacier Green with a 54" red-black-white herald with white
slant-serif lettering. Capacity was 96 1/2 tons or 5,250 cubic
feet. The inside length was 53' 3", width of 10' 7" and height of
15' 6". Road number 171250, 171275 and 171281 come from a series of
200 hoppers ordered from ACF. The Great Northern had several
hundred hoppers of various body styles earmarked for grain
use.
- The Way
They Should Have Been #
6
Back when the Railroads had more interest in
their image to the public, they spent a lot of time and effort on
eye-catching paint schemes to raise awareness in the public's mind
when it came to choose a travel partner, or a shipping agent. Since
the industry has changed (no more passenger or parcel service on
the railroads), those days are gone.
Well, here's a really big "What IF?" What if the
colorful railroads of the past survived merger fever, and were
still around today?
"What IF?" the passenger trains of the past were still running and
advertising their serviceson America's steel freight
routes?
"What If?" those beautiful blank car sides
carried the pride and color of heir owners?
These sets are our answer to those "What OF?"
questions. Yes, it isn't quite prototypical, but it is
representative of what might have been in a better railroad world.
We offer these to you, because it's YOUR railroad,and you can
create any world you like here in model railroad land.

The N Scale Collector Society, in conjunction with New Rail
Models, has imported from West Germany, a spectacular early 1900's
pepsi Cola truck. pepsi took the plunge with colorful advertising
into the 20th Century, by decorating many delivery vans with their
red, white and blue logo.
