MWG2, how cool! I never knew anyone with their own train car.
My dad started in the train yards and worked his way up to the accounting department. He has tons of pictures like what RUDEINC posted above. Of course, he also took pictures of every ham radio antenna he ever owned, the three boats and two houses he built, and each and every car he ever drove. He's a little eccentric!

My brother has been a modeler for many years and is a real true certified train-nut (his words, not mine). He has always been an "N" scale guy and will spend months on just one addition to one of his mini-layouts. I supply him with much of the tech data and detail info on the automotive end of his pursuit. I spent three weeks once just tracking down the correct detailed photo for a GM Stepvan that he was doing for his stuff. He builds from scratch mostly and the details have to be perfect to suit him.
