I have a mystery car I picked up at the show, post comments if you have any information (I know its circa 1993 and from Al's Kustom Train Cars, more interested in the roadname and origin):

I believe it's a convention car.

It is a Micro-Trains car, check the door and the roofwalk.....Roadname is definitely fictitious.

Most likely is a model railroad club special run. Possibly done in conjunction with a train show the club sponsored.

It is a product of Al's Kustom.  The P&W was his private road.  IIRC he produced a set of three different road numbers, plus an car with no number.  I have them (in storage); if you need more info I'll dig them out this weekend.  Al Taublib produced a number of custom edition freight cars.  I have a lot of 'em - especially Virginian and Pere Marquette, plus billboards.  I continue to haunt shows and auctions looking for others. Last time I saw him, maybe 12-18 months ago, he was getting out of the business.  I think job and family limited his hobby time.  Al was a great dealer and model railroader.  I considered him a friend; and I miss seeing him at shows.

Mark,
Think you could provide more info on his fictitious road? I'm somewhat a fan of the fictitious roads around Maryland.

I'd appreciate it!
