Tim O'Connor #195119 This photo was reported to be from 1950, but it could be as late as 1953 I think, assuming that the car's reweigh interval was not violated (1949->1953) Someone once offered cast resin loads almost identical to these, but I only have a single stack example. I sure wish I had been able to find more of the castings, because it's beautiful as well as very light in weight.

Also, does anyone have any Pics of early steel banding on flatcars they could possibly share? Late 1950s. I have SP photos of experiments at a lumber mill but they are from 1963.
