You guys are pretty slow, eh? It's a billboard car  :trollface:

Hoping for a tank car, but it's not a sulphuric acid car.

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

I hope it's that one too. It would make financial sense because they run in sets, sometimes in unit trains so the market is bigger than cars that someone might only buy 1 or 2. My sons have been asking for these so I'll be in for a few, if they are made.

It's riding too high, and the trucks are wrong.  The couplers are too big.  The color is off.  It's also obviously a foobie!  "Freight Car" never had a #330 on their roster.

In all seriousness, I hope it's not a "too modern" car (and it will be), but always looking forward to a new BLMA product!


It doesn't sit even on the frame. No reporting marks. Wing shade of blue paint too.  :RUEffinKiddingMe:

Looks like a commemorative April 1st sw1500 car from what I can see. It isn't prototypical though because it is riding on roller bearing trucks instead of friction bearing trucks!  Sorry, couldn't resist.

A 70 ton car?  Those look like 70 ton trucks, judging by the springs.  I could be wrong.

The trucks are what has me guessing it is some sort of auto parts car.

Yeah, I'd love a tanker also - but the air pipe shut off valve (!) is light gray or white, so the car probably is also...another reefer?

It looks like a sill mounted angle cock, don't reefers have either end cushions or sliding centersills?

Long draft gear means long brake pipe hoses usually.

Could be a white tank car.


Hmm... or an albino
flat car...

I hope they are modern cars too. I like that it's undec and has airhoses. Tank cars would be fine.

If its a modern tank car that would fit perfect into a crude oil unit train, my wallet will cease to exist...
