Ignorance is Patriotic
Rather than posting this in the Weekend Photo Fun, I decided to create a new post since there are so many large pictures and I didn't want to hijack the other thread.
I recently completed four new Construction and Demolition debris (C&D) cars for my modern-day New York Central System. Anybody who follows eastern railroading closely will be well aware of these cars, particularly as they export debris out of the New York City area. Most C&D cars are either old woodchip hoppers, thrall gons, bathtub gons, etc.
To meet rising demand for C&D out of the Big Apple, the NYCS recently took ownership of some 200 woodchip hoppers (4 HO scale hoppers) of various kinds; the NYCS purchased them second-hand from a number of western railroads, retrofitted them to handle the rigors of C&D service, and painted them with a new experimental anti-graffiti paint.
Without further ado, here they are, photographed on my friend Don Meeker's incredible layout. C&D loads will be coming soon!
