A Contest: Union Pacific 150 years timeline but wait . . .

Union Pacific, as you may know, is celebrating their 150 years.  We applaud their milestone.  

However, there is a mistake on their history timeline.  The first person who correctly states what the specific mistake is that we are referring to will get 25% on their next net order from Wheels of Time with one exception, "Wheels of Time Limited" are excluded from this offer.  (Sorry Sea-Land fans.)Union Pacific 150 Years timeline

Amtrak U.S. Mail?

Amtrak still carries United States Mail?  Amtrak #1720 baggage car on the westbound Calif. Zephyr #5. Noticed the lettering on the letterboard of this converted Budd car.

Amtrak P42 #156 Red Bird at hand

I got lucky and caught Amtrak Train No. 713 "The San Joaquin" being headed up by P42 #156 in the "Special Anniversary Phase 1 livery" near Martinez, CA on June 9th.  I like that classic "pointless arrow" on the flank.  Enjoy.

Sea-Land Containers!

Sea-Land Service is one of the pioneers in containerized freight.   These containers were around 1960s to the late 1980s, and perhaps even in the 1990.  

We are really happy to announce that we are taking Pre-Orders for our new 35-ft containers and chassis kits in both HO and N scales!  In additon, be sure to check out our new never done before Sea-Land decals for 35-ft, 40-ft, 40-ft double post cans c. 1960s - 1980s.  

Sea-Land containers will only be available directly from Wheels of Time. (click on link to web)

You may also read about the history, equipment and operations including railroad coordinated "Land-Bridge" that Sea-Land instituted.

Be sure to tell your friends in HO scale too.  Let's make this a hit so we can do more early container pioneers!  Enjoy!
