MKT War Emergency boxcar built on General American Reefer Underframe


Bill Welch
 

Having secured two InterMountain unbuilt Undec War Emergency kits I am intending to build one as a Wabash version w/a straight sill and many gusset plates and the MKT's version that was built on retired General American refrigerator car underframes. I have a photo of one of these in MOW service that will help me do the underframe but wondering if there may drawings of this underframe somewhere. Unfortunately I do not have a built date for the underframe but it has a fishbelly center sill with a pair of triangular cross bearers on each side. I cannot see the cross tie arrangement in the photo I have. Hoping the MKT people on this list may have resources I am not aware of for these cars. Please contact me off list at fgexbill(AT)tampabay.rr.com if you can help me.

Thank you,
Bill Welch
