AvoidsoutH Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 just one of those conversation starters... i think it says alot about someone's personality and itll make us more aware of whats out there. my personal favorite would have to be the white ns hoppers or yellow ttx gondolas. both are smooth and light and allow for maximum coverage and bright ass colors. not much traffic on those types, but its the best of what i have to choose from. just wondering... avoidsouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cheesecurd Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 I stick to the barnum and bailey's circus world train. it's all about the lion's cages and the cars for the giraffes, they got a real nice panel. nah...nothing says hit me like ANY car hittable in the day. I did 40 CP and GONX gondolas this year so far...I also like baex flats, although I've never hit one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelofdeath Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 damn damn thats cool as shit to see dudes that want to paint hoppers, gondolas and grainers and coalies...... i should hook up with you guys. there is a yard about 45 minutes from me that is MOSTLY hoppers, grainers etc... but it is probably the chillest spot i have ever seen for a yard. and no one will paint them with me cause "its hoppers and grainers." but i reality i like to hit golden west flats the best, or any UP, golden west... etc.. fridgie car. those cars travel the farthest from me, are nice and i generally can find them pretty easy around here at a few spots. i also like those double long flat cars i have seen CN's and CV's they were insulated and real nice. White flats rock the best though Tropicanas are my fav to paint, but they get buffed, Cryotrans rock too... but tropicanas are hard as shit to find. around here they only stop for 15 minutes at a time then keep on getting it. but overall like someone said any old boxcar daytime preferably, that moves.

Southern kid Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 GT's...anything flat especially CR's, NYC's and GVSR's. reefers too..probably because i've never have one in a hittable position down here. and for some reason i'm fond of those wisconsin central boxes. ooooh yeah..and cant forget any short lines...ex..SOO. butttttter.

Guest TrustEvil Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 i like to paint Camaros....cuz the dude inside with the mullet and his girlfriend with bon jovi teazed bangs get a real kick out of it. as far as fr8s are concerned...the BNSF extended white reefers (the ones with the ice on top) and the UP Chilled Express (the ones that never had ice on top) extended white reefers are truly a thing of pure beauty....if not i'll take the Conrail extended car-parts carrier slicks...butter. daewoo's are cool too....also a ford focus or anything by Lada.

Cracked Ass Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Reefers...flat boxcars...green boxcars... So yeah, flat green BNFEs rank high... Really any flat or baby ridge (insulated) boxes are the best...especially rare or old crusty ones...GVSR, ICG, LNAC, DRGW, CHTT, anything ending in "Pacific". Lately though I'm on a "paint it if it moves" kick...regardless of previous biases, they're all trains, they all need love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
