Modern Equipment in American OO Gauge

With travels in the summer I see a number of trains and always get itching to operate and work with some of the more modern OO gauge equipment I own, as I frequently see big trains out west.

Within American OO Today there are a number of articles on modern (70s and later) OO gauge models, but judging from the stats many of those are pretty low traffic articles. With that thought, I offer the links below which offer a bit of inspiration toward what can be done in modeling more recent equipment in American OO. Click on any link for more information.

• A SW-8 diesel in brass
• A simple approach to modern diesels
• A big hopper and a boxcar
• Two modern ATSF boxcars by Bill Johann
• Grain hopper, HO conversion
• Reefer, PFE
• A great Railbox
• Ortner 43’ three bay hopper
• Short TOFC flat
• More TOFC flat
• Containers in OO
• Well car and spine car
• Two pulpwood flats
• A bulkhead flat
• Three more freight cars
• Johann roller bearing trucks
• Simple roller bearing conversion
• Another roller bearing conversion

The photo is from the well car and spine car article. I will mention here as well, the red one is an orphan the yellow one I can run with other cars but it seems that the sets they were a part of were broken up. If you have part of these sets, let me know, perhaps we can work out a trade.
