    So after owning these in N Scale for almost a year, I think I just got the "Boxcar" Logo. The Brackets are the boxcar shape and the 4 Dots are Wheels/Trucks. If so I feel kind of stupid cause I was wondering forever why the name?

    Am I correct or sadly wrong?

    To my eyes, this color never looked good. As it got dirty or weathered some, was even worse.

    For some reason a lot of your images are not loading for me? Also on the other previous pages too! I want to see them, but can't? Others images are not a problem.

    Strange, some are linked from off site while many are hosted here on Trainboard.

    Russell, some of your images don't convert, aren't viewable. :(

    That worked. It's not only an A-B-A it's a P-E-P.

    If Alcos were honorary steamers, does that make this mixed power?

    I'm having the same problem with his images, but if I right-click on the icon where the image is supposed to be and click "Open image in new tab" that works for me.
