Jeff,

 

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 – 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

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.
