Re: GM&O 4670
Ben, My database coughs up 639 single-sheathed series, new or renumbered, that are either spot on or an inch or so off from one or more inside dimensions of either ARA 1932, or AAR 1937, or as modified 1941, or AAR 1942 (50 ft car). Some are single door, some are double door, especially the 50 ft 1942 dimensions. I was surprised by the count!

Re: Funaro & Camerlengo T-24 Buckeye Cushion Resin trucks
Brent Greer
Here is some supplemental information I shared with Pierre for the pending N&W B5 boxcar project, regarding the trucks that were applied to these cars. Bud Jeffries from the N&W Historical Society has a drawing from the N&W archives that describes the various
classes of trucks for N&W equipment. There were six classes of trucks used in "High Speed Freight" service.
They were:
Class Type Used on
T-74 Young, Buckeye B-4 Box cars
T-75 Barrett Whitehead B-5 "
T-76 Nat'l Malleable Type B B-5 "
T-77 Buckeye All Service B-5 "
T-78 Allied Full Cushion B-5 "
T-79 Young, Buckeye G-3 Mill type Gondola
Of the six classes, four were used under the B5
The drawing's last revision date is 11-11-53 and it lists only two other classes of trucks being used under the B5 boxcars, they are the T-41b and T-71 as of that date.
B5 series 48000-48999 were built with N&W class T-41b, T-71, T-75, T-76, T-77. (Some cars appear to have received the T-78 trucks later on)
B5 series 49500-49999 all had N&W T-71 class trucks.

Hi- I have 24 roofs which I was holding for a buyer who informed me that he needs less than originally ordered. That frees up 24 roofs which can be purchased for $2.50/each. Contact me off-list for purchase/shipping details at <midcentury@...> Thanks, -Andy Carlson Ojai CA

Bill, I imagine this is one.
Have in my photo captions the 20000-20249 series were 1936 so I guess they 'anticipated' the 1937 AAR. Was the GM&O the only railroad with composite side knock-off versions of 1932 AAR, 1937 AAR and Modified 1937 AAR (War Emergency) boxcars? -- Ben Scanlon Tottenham, England

Funaro & Camerlengo T-24 Buckeye Cushion Resin trucks
Bill Welch
Alerted here recently about these trucks—I think it was Bruce Smith—I ordered a pair from an eBay vender as I could not find them on F&C's website. I think they look pretty good. It is easy to tell that the pattern for these was 3D printed but to me the striations are not objectionable. They will go a long way to further uglyfying the N&W B-5 they are destined for once Yarmouth is able to introduce their kits.

Re: GM&O 4670
Benjamin Scanlon
Hi, is it though, Tim?
6470 (sorry for wrong number in title of email) looks to have 4-4 ends, the 20188 has 4-5. Also if you count the horizontal corrugations on the door, 6470 has 16 and 20188 has 18. Further, look at where the diagonal brace ends on the car end, on the two cars. I am wondering if 20188 may be a composite sided version of a 1937 AAR? -- Ben Scanlon Tottenham, England

It was great to see everyone at Cocoa Beach this year. It is currently 15 degrees and snowing in Buffalo. As I mentioned during my clinic, I am sharing my handout here.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rscctah7pt73urw/AADoQaw_kr2KdNSftQcKb6yba?dl=0
The shared link should take everyone to a dropbox folder with 2 files, a PDF of my Presentation without the Photos, and a Excel spreadsheet containing the data I have compiled over the past 10-12 years. I didn’t edit the spreadsheet so there are some tabs that contain information on the rolling stock I own or want, don’t judge me, lol. The Spreadsheet contains original data from Tim Gilbert and additional railroad data I have added from the 1957 and some 1950 ORER data.
I enjoyed giving the clinic and I received many compliments on it. Therefore, I volunteered to give it at RPM East in March. Therefore, I have set the dropbox link to expire in a month, and then I will update the presentation for RPM East. Any questions, you can ask on list or directly at prrk41361_AT_yahoo_DOT_com
