Overland also made a brass model in HO. Having seen the real thing in St. Louis and having studied a lot of photos, the models don’t do them justice. It is very difficult to model all of the internal racks that support the individual cages of birds.

Ed Ambroid did have a wood kit ( a box of sticks as the RTR crowd calls them ) for a combination reefer poultry car which in ORER had a class of SPR. The combination reefer, one side reefer and one side poultry cages, used to carry cheese and eggs to community or pick-up eggs and poultry for market. YE Old Huff and Puff had a wood kit for a poultry car, poultry cages on both sides of the attendant area. I have built one for a friend. I have built the Ambroid combination reefer and have it in service on my railroad. I could post a quick photo on "resinfreightcars" website or send you a photo of it if you are interested. Otherwise if you google poulty cars you can find images of the built Ambroid. Finally if there was a Mainline kit I have never seen one. Lester Breuer

Many years ago MR had plans for a poultry car. I'm thinking it was in the 1960s, maybe 1950s. have spent the last couple of hours looking for my copy of it, to no avail.

I checked the 1916 CBD, and it also has a builder's image of Live Poultry Transportation 732. I checked the 1912 CBD, and it also has a builder's image of Live Poultry Transportation 732, also Live Poultry Transportation 500 (a 36ft car without truss rods), American Poultry Car Co 101 (a 36ft car with truss rods), and a car built by Milwaukee Refrigerator Transit & Car Co. I checked the 1895 CBD, and it has a builder's image of Live Poultry Transportation 121 (a 33ft 10in car with truss rods) that looks like it might be similar to the type represented in the drawing but not an exact match. I'm wondering if the drawing might be from a trade periodical of the time, and not from a CBD. Claus Schlund ----- Original Message ----- From: "riverman_vt@...

There is a great broadside of PPKX 5064 on page 59 of the new Focus on Freight Cars Volume 10. The photo is not dated and I don’t see a clear reweigh date, but the car was built in 1924.

We really, REALLY need an upgraded, modern version of these cars. Yes, I know about the brass model, but I'm thinking resin. Anyone who models urban areas in the 1900-1940 period needs one or two of these cars. Plus, they're just plain cool. Ray Breyer
