Wow those look nice. I now the second is the D Class 4-4-0, is the 2-6-0 a K-3 or K-4? I think it's a K-3, but can't quite tell.

Keep up the great work. Trainboi1, you make excellent trains in every area I love, West US, SP, LNER, etc.

Hint: K3s have a massive boiler, K4s look more or less like K1s.
And D class doesn't really say anything, all LNER 4-4-0s are D-something In this case it's a D41.

 

[Saturnr]

I really should have noticed the large boiler, and that if it were a K4 it would be 199x number. I knew the 4-4-0 was either D-40 or D-41, thanks for refreshing my memory.

Ah, that's a very nice looking stock car! Kudos!

On the subject of stock cars: I always thought a model of one of the dual-purpose stock/coke cars would make an interesting Trainz model.

Here (below) is a pic of a circa-1906 35-ton stock and coke car, with steel frame and drop bottoms, built by the American Car and Foundry Co. for the Santa Fe. Elevation drawings of this car can be downloaded from Google Books.

During the same era, American Car & Foundry also made drop-bottom coke cars for the C&O with what looks to be a wooden frames (pic below.) Looks like a stock car that's missing its roof, doesn't it?

In the 1800s through the early 1900s, great quantities of coke was still being made at coal mines, usually in old fashioned beehive coke ovens, then the finished product was shipped to the pig iron and steel foundries many miles away. Since labor was cheap and coke was much lighter than coal, the mines could turn a decent profit doing so, and it also gave the mines a way to dispose of the fine, powdery coal that was considered to be "useless" during the era when "lump coal" was about the only coal that was feasible to burn over old-fashioned grates. But since the old beehive ovens allowed much (valuable) by-products to literally "go up in smoke", by the early 1900s many iron/steel plants begin to produce coke "in house" and the by-products were captured and sold. Thus, the old fashioned methods of coke production at the mine site gradually died off, although a few beehive coking plants managed to stay in business until about the 1950s.
