Make a Rail Cleaning Car

You got that backwards, David: Few people in the US would know that "Masonite" is actually hardboard.

Nope, just looked at that car at an online dealer. The Tomix car (Model# TO-6421) and the Atlas car (Model# 32550/32551) are identical except for the paint job. Roco's N-scale cleaning car (Model# T15500) looks a bit like the one that Model Power sold at one time...

BTW, since the Tomix car is not self powered, you would need something to tow it around - maybe as a baggage car hooked to a doodlebug or a piece of MOW equipment being towed around by a small steam engine?

Ok, so Atlas is buying wider than just Roco these days.

Roco will sell to anyone!

Greg Procter spake thus:

Actually, you're both wrong: most woodworkers would know that they're the same thing. Pick up a copy of /Fine Woodworking/ someday and take a look.

I guess it depends on what part of the US you're in. I know it as both, but then I'm more likely to be covered with sawdust than oil.

For the record, I'm in the "Lake Michigan" part of the midwest.
