Looks like the same molds as Menards, nice though. What's up with the lobster? Are they now land creatures? Dave

Nice boxcars, Joe.

I had to dig these guys out. The top two photos are original Williams, the bottom two photos are Williams by Bachmann. I have a couple of Williams Amtrak passenger cars too.
The Lackawanna PA is original Williams as well.
The photos didn't post right.

Those are Menards cars I have one of them. If you put that lobster on a rock it could be a rock lobster. I'll show myself out.

The only example of Williams I have is this TX Special B unit - originally a (fantasy scheme) dummy but with ERR sound added and a completely new Lionel E7 frame and trucks. I was never able to modify the couplers and the height of the unit to match the 3Rd Rail E7 A units it runs between; I might have another shot at the height because that should be a simple fix. Still, as is they rumble along very nicely with sound from all three units.

They are very nice!

I only have one Williams locomotive. They put out a nice GG1 in Penn Central. I hope to add a command control system to it eventually. The details are nice, not quite the same as the Lionel version, but at one fifth the cost, the Williams GG1 fit the bill… Tom

Pardon me - I completely forgot about these Williams boxcars I sourced many years ago. The UP Greyhound railway express car is part of a set of 3; the Red Caboose Texas Wineries car is a special run from somewhere I don't remember. True quality, all of them:
