ATSF Mineral Brown

ATSF Automobile cars/door color
I came across a grainy color film on Facebook that shows what appears to be black doors on a 50’ ATSF Automobile car. It has the standard herald, but no maps or slogans, just the word “Automobile” on

New York Central oval logo
I'm a western transition era modeler, but have a number of NYC cars. A while back I inquired about the NYC oval logo, specifically the timing of the change from an all white oval and lettering to one

2018 U.S. Open College Beer Championship
Bruce, since this group prides itself on accuracy, I'd like to note that Pilsner beer comes for Pilsen. Pilsen is in Bohemia, not Bavaria. One wouldn't want to have the wrong paperwork...;) Otto Krout

[CAJON] Arrowhead water car - Mel Perry
Is this a PE "water bottle"? Well, Mel maybe right that it isn't, and I appreciate his research. But, it's not a PE car, whose car is it? It's clearly a home grown tank, built on an an obsolete flat,

Beautiful, and the backdrop is stunning! Since I don't see any references to when the photo was taken, would you or anyone make an educated guess based on cars and paint schemes represented? As in no

Thank you, Tony, for your prompt response. All this time I thought the designation applied to the whole car design, apparently a polular misconception. Regards, Otto K.
