Re: CofG ventilated boxcars

While looking through some information this past weekend It was noted that the C of G vent car roster outnumbered all other Southeastern roads fleets except SAL in 1948. There's a definite interest in the cars with the later roofs as there was still 13 cars on the C of G in 1957. Hopefully more information will surface to help with an updated kit. Todd Horton

I don't if any drawing exist, but I think there are enough photos of these would provide enough info. to get the roof correct for this refit.

I appreciate the constructive criticism on the kit. The Central of Georgia Railway Historical Society's goal is to be as accurate as possible on a project of this type. Do you, or anyone else know if a drawing exist for the Murphy roof as applied to these cars? It's highly possible that if the information can be located that a future run of these cars could incorporate the changes discussed here. Thanks for your help. Todd Horton unless we are willing to overlook the fact that these cars were rebuilt bythat many cars built in the same era had. Yahoo! Groups Links |
