Business Cars Cabooses Hoppers

This page shows favorite pieces of equipment that run on the Wyoming Valley.  Some of the equipment are "visitors" from the layouts of model railroading friends.  In addition, I have grouped other cars on pages you can use the links at the left for.

Bona Vista number 5234 is from Gerry Leone's model railroad.  To see his Bona Vista Railroad, click here.

Gerry and I have a mutual friend, Dr. Jean Piquette, who operates a railroad with Pennsylvania equipment called the Cobleskill & Ballston Point.  With Gerry's help, I created the logo and painted this car, CBP 1003.

This is one piece of equipment that I have painted and decaled for the Wyoming Valley, WV 82001.

I have always been fascinated with snowplows, like this Walthers kit of a Russell snowplow.  I was very happy to see this kit come out on the market.

There is a story behind this car.  A friend on my favorite railroad forum, Railroad-Line, asked me to come up with a logo for his brewery.  His "handle" on the forum is "Dutchman".  Dutchman also brews his own beer.  So, I came up with this logo and used one of his family names as the name of the brewery.

My friend Gerry became NMRA Master Model Railroader number 346.  Gerry scratchbuilt four cars, one each for four friends that supported him in different ways as he completed his achievement.  Shown is the one he sent me.
