Re: Erie Boxcars 71xxx series
ed_mines
I think the series started with 70,000. There are good photos of the ends on the Fallen flags site (Erie-> box cars). There is a second, similar series of cars with a different end (4 vertical braces?) and different roof (roof on this second series is like the old AHM double sheathed, double door box). If I'm not mistaken I wrote the referenced ELHS article. I've seen many photos, most in MOW service taken by John LaRue. My recollection is you can barely see any side panels (see side shot on the Fallen flags site). The original cars were single sheathed auto box cars. I've seen one good photo of an original car from the NMRA. Much of my information came from a photocopy of a page from the Erie employees magazine. Ted located a drawing of the original double sheathed car; he sent me a copy which I misplaced.

Re--ERIE 70000-70999 and 71000-71567 Boxcars The sides were six panels of welded sheet steel. Work was done in the mid-1930s. The vertical seams and diagonal brace patterns are visible due to the welding process. Cars were well described with good photo illustrations in Volume 3, Number 1 of The Diamond (1984) published by Erie Lackawanna Historical Society. I think there was another issue with a drawing of the car but I would have to dig deeper to find it. End sheathing was one piece of steel sheeting with outside structure somewhat like B&O's
"indestructible end." These cars have an appealing simplicity ripe for scratch-building. There is a car at the Salamanca, New York RR museum. Regards--Mike

Re: Roco M-47 tanks
Al,
That is, of course, because the M18 Hellcat was an open topped tank destroyer. Highly detailed M18 models in HO can be had from Trident Models. I have 2 in the to build pile to go on a flat car.

Re: Erie Boxcars 71xxx series
That would be great Bill, we appreciate that. Even though we will buy the Speedwitch model ..when it comes, our little group is anxious to build and we have most of the parts so we will go with our own then wait for Ted. Any idea when he will release? Thanks Fenton

Rich, Try German eBay. www dot ebay dot de In the past I've bought lots of Roco and earlier Umex construction equipment at a fraction of the US eBay cost. Just be aware of the higher shipping costs and take that into consideration. I usually buy 'junk boxes' which the Germans often label as 'convolut.' PS: If you don't read German I can help if you like. Gene Green Out in the Badlands of New Mexico where seldom is heard a German word.
