Re: DT&I 41' Gon was GM&O Gon

Just another thought on this coversion job. Might there be any value
in trying to use an Athearn mid section with Proto 2000 ends??? Haven't really looked but just wondering. Perhaps the two won't mate well enough. Cordially, Don Valentine

new file - trains 60,61
Clark Propst
A friend acquired a conductors log of train he was on from the middle of
June into July of 1953 and lent to me to transcribe. The trains ran N/S from
west of the Twin Cities through SW Minnesota and a little ways into NW Iowa.
It’s interesting that all but a handful of railroads have representatives in
these little trains running in the middle of nowhere.

Re: DT&I gon - a perpsective
riverman_vt@...
Hopefully someone will take up the project of these DT&I decals.
These DT&I gons should be of interest to many modelers, especially if located along a route between Detroit/Dearborn, MI and a Ford assembly plant. That is my case here in Northern Vermont. These cars are known to have made it onto the CPR at Lambton, ON and to have traveled by the CPR's Canadian Differential routing through Montreal, thence Farnham and Brookport, QC and over the CPR's Lyndonville Sub. to the B&M at Wells River, VT. Prior to Oct. 1954 they had a choice of routes between Wells River and the Ford assembly plant in Somerville, MA but from photos that Phil Hastings kindly provided me with years ago it appears that most were routed via White River Jct. I cannot recall when in the late 1950's that Ford Assembly plant shut down but the traffic to it was good money for the B&M for years. Thus my interest in these DT&I gons. and my appreciation of this discussion of them. Cordially, Don Valentine

Dan and all,
This is not a "my dog is bigger than your dog" note.
The Athearn is a dirty little bash to be quite honest. However, it was well
researched by Richard Hendrickson and I did my homework as well by
converting the builders photos to scale to acquire the dimensions and verify
them. No need to defend the results.
If you want to do the project from the P2K car be my guest and the
instructions from the SHAKE N TAKE project will certainly help with things like
a better representation of the drop end casting.
Regardless, keep modeling and make compromises when you have to.
Greg Martin

it. Norman Maclean Dan writes:

Re: DT&I gon - a perpsective
Greg Martin
Mark and all,
I know Jim Singer said after Cocoa Beach that he was planning on
rerunning several sets of the Shake N Take decals this one included, but, I
don't want to put word in his mouth, simply call him. If he is not at home leave
a message along the lines of, "hey Jim, I need a set (or several) of XXX decals
for this project (interject any SHAKE N TAKE or other decal set) call me
back I am writing out the check now..." Jim won't take your
money and not provide like some others, but I would still get the details
from him.

Re: Ambroid Phosphate Cars
Already looked into that. They have the latter issue without photos, but not the 1994 issue. Tried e-bay too -- no joy.

Re: DT&I gon - a perpsective
It has been whispered that at one time 5th Avenue Car Shops had decals for DT&I. I went to the website they are not listed and there is no email address. If someone knows how to reach Jim I'm in for 2 sets on top of Pierre's 3. Thanks Mark Mark P Stamm Mark at Euphoriatt dot Com

That was indeed very helpful. What's really needed now is more decals for this project. Anybody? I would love 3 sets. Thanks Pierre Oliver www.elgincarshops.com www.yarmouthmodelworks.com On 2/19/16 5:42 PM, Ted Culotta

Like Dan, I had looked strongly at the Proto 2000 route. I mocked it up digitally. You can see the layout here: I hope this helps some in their efforts.
