Hi everyone,

Just joined the group, thought I'd give a little bit of intro

getting to a question.

Though born and raised in North America, I've only recently taken

serious interest in our railroads, and have been learning all I

having taken a special interest in electric operations, the

of British Columbia (where I live), and especially, railroading in

Piedmont Carolinas, and even more specifically, the Piedmont &
Northern (and the railways with which it interchanged). And this

in 1950 or so, because that way I can accurately model electric,
diesel and steam in the Piedmont.

I have a friend locally who introduced me to the STMFC website and

been teaching me about all manner of detail of North American
railroading. Freight-specifically, I've been discovering my

to be especially centred on boxcars. Still learning a lot, but I've
already found a few early favourites.

Modelling-wise, I work in TT scale - that was my scale when

European prototypes, and since my interests on this side of the

are mainly those that would require scratchbuilding in any scale,
staying with TT doesn't make things any more difficult (an aside on
scratchbuilding: I like it, because that way I can do things

to the standards that I want!)

As a first question, I would ask whether anyone might be able to

me in the direction of photos of Piedmont & Northern freight cars -
specifically the 1100-series boxcars, as well as photos of freight
cars taken in Greenville, Greenwood and Spartanburg, SC, taken in

Cheers,
