This is great to look at . . . . but it ain't usable in an InDesign layout. The finished models are gorgeous! Not many coal cars were purchased in 1921 and then completely re-trucked in 1924 . . . only four years later . . . . and then they were kept in Tidewater Test Service so folks could monitor their performance regularly. Prior to 1910 the C&O had more flat-bottom coal cars than hopper cars. These went to Toledo for low-level Brownhoist dumping at the Hocking Valley docks first on the west side and later (1915-1930) at Starr Avenue side near Tony Packos. These were clamped, lifted-up and tipped/rotated, and dumped into a tapered pan and chute. Al Kresse ----- Original Message -----

Subject: Re: [STMFC] C&O 100-ton Gondola article on eBay Al – You don’t need to spend big bucks on the article. I drew model railroad plans from the article, had the photos from the article and a how to build the car in the 12/89 issue of Railmodel Journal. It was the project that got me into the business. – Al Westerfield From: al.kresse Sent: Friday, July 27, 2012 1:53 PM To: STMFC@...<mailto:STMFC%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: [STMFC] C&O 100-ton Gondola article on eBay By any chance did anyone on this group get the winning bid on the 1922 Railway Review 4-page article about the C&O 91-ton capy 6-wheel trucked gondola cars? I thought I had somebody seriously bidding on it for me for scanning of drawins for use in a C&O History magazine article on those cars. Any leads to the purchaser would be appreciated.
