Re: SOO Line prewar 50 foot double door box car

Bob,
Frank purchased the General Arrangement drawing from IRM
Pullman Library to create his masters. Copies of that drawing are
available for purchase by anyone, just as Frank did. The drawings at IRM
are still the property of Bombardier and they do not allow them to be posted on
line. Each purchaser must agree to a license created by Bombardier
stipulating this.
I have seen the drawing. The inside length is 50'0" and
the length over the underframe end sills is 50'2-1/4". The side lining
boards are 25/32 thick by 3-1/4 inches wide. The side linings are nailed
to 3 by 3 posts. The 3x3's are recessed into the dreadnaught ends. I
don't see a dimensions on the end lining, but it is certainly thin, like the
side lining.
Hope this helps.
Steve Hile

I am curious what do the drawings show? Bob Witt
