In a joint venture, MAKIN' Tracks: http://makemytracks.com/ and myself have started producing exclusive RTR Virginia Midland boxcars. These boxcars are various modern Roundhouse ones that are double door, single door, plug door and combo doors at the moment.
These RTR VMID boxcars will include:
-Custom green paint and decals (silver roof)
-Intermountain metal wheels
-Kadee #5 couplers
-Kadee brake wheel
-A different number on every boxcar
-Weathered cars (eventually)
The cars are not ready for purchase yet and will only be when the first 6-10 are complete. I will post prices and shipping charges here on the blog soon.
Email me at virginiamidlandshops@gmail.com for info on the boxcars.
Here are some pics in the early stages:
Welcome!
This site is dedicated to my model railroad, the HO scale Virginia Midland Railroad. This layout comprises a 12X9 room with two levels. The upper level is complete and the lower level scenery has just begun.
I do a handful of train shows in the Virginia/Maryland region with Makin Tracks. I also can help you find that freight car/locomotive or other hard to find item.

Custom Virginia Midland boxcars interest?
I was thinking about doing some custom Virginia Midland boxcars to sell and wanted to see what the interest level is. These boxcars are going to be modern (late 1970's to the present) They would be green with silver roofs. They would have the Virginia Midland logo and the VMID reporting marks on them. I would be starting out with the older Roundhouse boxcars (single door and combo door). They would be would come with #5 Kadee couplers and Intermountain metal wheel sets. Each car will have a different number and will be ready to run! The price is looking between $22-$25 for each. I wanted to advertise them here first and wanted judge the interest in them. They will be a combination of the two cars below. So comment down below if your interested or email me at virginiamidlandshops@gmail.com to tell me if your interested and how many you would be interested in getting.
So please email at virginiamidlandshops@gmail.com and tell me you interest on these boxcars!

| This boxcar shows the logo I will use on the boxcars. The reporting marks are not correct. Should be VMID |

| This boxcar sports the correct reporting marks. Only thing is missing is the large logo. This "plain jane"paint scheme may possibly be done. Let me know! |
| This is the older Roundhouse shell I will used. This is a combo door model |
| This is the combo door kit again. All cars will be ready to run or RTR! |
So please email at virginiamidlandshops@gmail.com and tell me you interest on these boxcars!
