How could a car be weighed two years before it was built? It
seems to me that in general, the steam era ended when your
principal railroad ended steam.

Hi
The CN version has a build date of "12-55" and a weigh date of

"FM 12-53". ?? It come in two number "11059" and "11065".
These dates may not be steam era for some but for me modeling
the GTW anything up to 1960 is ok.

Hi Everyone,

Just got in a new boxcar kit from a new supplier into the shop.

The 40'

box with 8' door and riveted side is a model of National Steel

Car from

Canada. The model has "NSC-3 ends and NSC roof and roof

walk". it is

produced by Trains Canada of Calgary, Alberta, and in this

country seems to

be sold through Herpa.

The PGE lettered car has a build date of 1/58. the hand holds

on the right

side and end are molded on, but the 8 rung ladder seems to be

a separate

part. The Bettendorf style trucks seem to have been converted

to roller

bearings and the journal dust covers are missing. The model

has a KD

compatible coupler.

The model also comes in several later PGE/BCR, CN and CP

schemes.

Anyone seen the model and can comment on its accuracy?

Ted
