When Dan approached me with the idea, one of the first things I told him is it would make great storage (if water tight). I think it is worth exploring the idea. Right now that is what Dan has started here.

Thanks, Mike. The photo of the MEC boxcar is from a magazine (Trains) from 1965. That magazine from a large collection donated by Kenton Harrison of Massachusetts.

I read the Narrow Gauge Giscussion Forum on a regular basis and the idea of having a standard gauge box car next to a narrow gauge car has been suggested several times. but to the best of my knowledge it has never been done. I think it would be a great idea; especially the difference between
the two-foot gauge and standard gauge.
