looks good Lou
I see Lou. I’ll take a jar of #2. Now you need to build pickle processing factory.
Hmmm. Tank cars of vinegar, boxcars of pickles?
Here are some pics I took of the Musselman Plant in Arentsville PA while on and excursion trip via the Gettysburg RR

Lou, are you now contemplating as a further project, the factory that produces the pickles for the pickle cars. If so you will ideally need another pickle car to make these loading scene more enhanced. So, if you are I draw your attention to this matter.
For the record, the Birmingham mentioned here is the original one in central England.
"BIRMINGHAM’S HP Sauce factory has hit the headlines for many reasons over the years - and one of the most dramatic incidents was the great vinegar explosion of 1956.
The blast almost cost commissionaire Fred Eggison his life.
He was halfway through an inspection of the plant when a 15,000-gallon vat exploded.
The blast could be heard across Aston and sent a “waist-high wave of vinegar into nearby streets and through local homes”.
In a report in the Birmingham Mail, Mr Eggison, who witnessed the explosion and called the fire brigade, said he was lucky to escape alive.
“It was like a bomb,” he said. “Two minutes later and I should have been right by the vat on my inspection tour. I might have been killed.”
Nobody was hurt, but the incident on Friday, December 28, 1956, became part of local folklore.
The vinegar swept into homes, flooding cellars and carrying away furniture along Tower Road before pouring downhill into Aston Road, nearly a quarter of a mile away.
Armed with mops and brooms, householders joined emergency service crews in the clean-up operation.
Firemen hours pumped out local homes while children lined the streets, filling bottles and jugs with vinegar.
In the Mail’s report Violet Farmer, of Tower Road, said: “There was a roar and next minute there was something like a lava stream running through the house.”
Mr D Mackenzie, managing director of HP, told the Mail: “We intend to carry out a full inquiry. The strength of the vat will be examined.”
Compensation was later paid to homes in Tower Road, to replace damaged carpets and furniture.
Eric Row, aged 88, who worked as a delivery driver for 38 years, said: "The vats were huge, you could have fitted a bus inside. "All the houses along Tower Road had new carpets. I don’t know whether they all had carpets in the first place, but they all claimed for them!
“The smell of vinegar lingered for weeks.”
Neat story there Alan, I bet you can still smell it on a hot day. That story was like in Boaton way back when a molasses vat let go and flooded the streets.
Back to the pickles. If you do build “Lou Luczu’s Pickle Packing Plant” You could build a whimsical tank car in the shape of a giant pickle.
Hmmmmmm
Covered hoppers full of pickles!
and a Weinermobile in the parking lot. lol
I don’t think the WienerMobile is gonna make it…
Fascinating pic Ken, I love it. By the way a Wienermobile crashed through a wall of someones house in Milwaukee a few years ago.
Dat drat it! I can’t see picture at work!
I have seen it in person a few times on 95 and mainly in FL. Usually going in the opposite direction…
Where that partricular picture was taken I have no idea. I can say with some certainty that it wasn’t in Florida.
Ken
That pic was taken in Indiana …saw it on the news yesterday …I too saw the Weiner mobile with the boy heading to your place last year on 283 going the opposite direction.; Dang thing does make you look twice
Ken that pic. was 2/12/08 in pa. going to penn. state http://jalopnik.com/355441/wienermobile-temporarily-immobilized-permanently-a-giant-wheeled-phallus. In its 25 year history, the Wienermobile has suffered surprisingly few mishaps. But it does happen. One Wienermobile spun out on some ice and ended up immobilized in a ditch in Pennsylvania in 2008.
Richard
Oh NO the weeny mobile wiped out! Maybe they should have been driving this instead.

The LL Bean Bootmobile! I didn’t take this photo but did see it on a trip up to Freeport Maine last year then2 weeks later I saw it going down the road on Cape Cod! It followed me home!
I know I’m opening myself up for all sorts of quips. But seriously, how are these cars loaded and unloaded??? nick jr
Loading is usually done with a squeeze bottle and/or some utensils…
Unloading is usually done by mouth…
Didn’t want to disappoint you, Nick Jr… 
And believe me, Andy is an expert at loading and unloading food…
How are they loaded? The bootmobile uses a really large shoe horn. LOL
