What is the association if any to the NYO&W or did they just "borrow" their logo?

Re: Westerfield kit #1503

Paul – The 1501 kit had correct spacing of side braces but the cross bearers were incorrect (as were all the original Fowler kits). I don’t remember when we revised it but for sure if it has the Elk Grove Village address it’s an original. – Al Westerfield

Re: new decals
Thomas Baker
Clark,
You had better luck than I with Micro-Scale decals. I had an S-scale set of Micro-Scale for a Wescott & WInks refrigerator car. True, I had purchased the decals a few years ago. I put one segment after another into the water only to see them disintegrate. Not very far into theprocess I stopped and managed to salvage enough for one side. I hope I can use that side to make a copy onto decal copy paper. Tom ________________________________________ From: STMFC@...

I'm trying to get information on the fittings and mounting bracketsFrom the earliest application of AB brakes in the mid-1930s through the Santa Fe's adoption of Shock Control underframes ca. 1958, it was standard Santa Fe practice to mount the air brake reservoirs crosswise rather than lengthwise, as was most common in the railroad industry. This practice applied not only to box and auto/furniture cars but to reefers, solid-bottom gondolas, etc. (A few other railroads also mounted reservoirs crosswise, at least for several years; Canadian National and Grand Trunk Western come to mind.) I have never heard a satisfactory explanation for this practice, but it was followed by the Santa Fe whenever possible. The only exceptions, during the period covered by this list, were cars like the Bx-26 and Bx-34 classes which had Duryea underframes and early cars with Shock Control underframes, both of which had center sills located far enough apart to preclude transverse mounting of the reservoir - as well as, of course, drop bottom gondolas, where transverse air reservoirs would have interfered with the drop doors. When reservoirs were mounted crosswise, the inner ends were mounted to brackets attached to the center sill and the outer ends were supported by simple pressed steel supports attached to the side sill, whose inward facing flanges were positioned under the outer ends of the reservoirs (always with the two-mounting-bolt ends of the reservoirs facing outward). These supports had the effect of protecting the reservoirs from accidental damage, so no other protective devices were applied. Does anyone know of a drawing or close-up photo of this mounting?I'm sending you a photo off-list which should be helpful. Richard Hendrickson

Transverse air reservoir ATSF Bx-37 boxcars
I'm trying to get information on the fittings and mounting brackets used to mount the air reservoirs on the Santa Fe's Bx-37 class of boxcars. Specifically, I need to know what the mounting arrangement looked like as opposed to other types of mounts. Also, was there some sort of protective plate on the outboard end of the mounting?
I've searched through Dobyne III's ATSF boxcar book, and Dr. Hendrickson's Painting and Lettering Guide for photos, but there are none that really show the detail that I need. Does anyone know of a drawing or close-up photo of this mounting? Thanks, Jim Wolf Belen, NM
