Re: Yeah, More Resin Coming

Donald B. Valentine
 

    Begging your pardon Charlie but you have made the same mistake that many of us often make of not reading all that is presented. The National Scale Car announcement makes it clear that their first intent is to produce HO Scale mini-kits to
enable modelers to use commonly available kits for conversion into more accurate National Steel Car prototypes built for the CNR and CPR with NSC III ends between 1954 and 1956. How much more clkear can they be?

My best, Don Valentine

I’ve seen the URTX and FGE cars. They’re yellow with a single milk can. The Athearn car is white with two milk cans.

I’ve also seen a photo of a Carnation reefer that looks nothing like any of the above. It’s in the Carnation corporate history from last century some time (I don’t have access to my copy at this time to describe it).

I have not been able to open the links Clause has shared. But here is a photo containing some Carnation Milk reefers. It is of the Pacific Coast Condensed Milk Co plant of Oregon ILL., with a string of dark colored reefers lettered Carnation. They don’t match the Athearn scheme, but are Carnation reefers.

Re: SEEKING HELP ON AUTO CAR UNDERFRAME

The cars may (probably?) have had the chain tubes like other SP A-50 class box cars, but other
than that I expect the underframes were of conventional AAR design.

This is one of the very few times that I have not received a reply.

I may get lucky if I expanded my search a bit.  This car was built in 1947 by Pressed Steel Car Co.  Possibly someone knows about a similar car built by Pressed Steel Co. at the same time that would probably have shared the same underframe.

Thanks in advance for any leads:

The paper is either lining paper folded around the door post and tacked as the recent flour load photos show or paper tacked over the door opening to make a dust tight seal. Either way the ends of the roll paper stuck out past the door when it was closed. I should think narrow strips of thin paper like cigarette paper attached with matte medium should model it well.

It says on the page their kits are HO scale.

Charlie the 2nd paragraph on their home page states their first release is HO scale. And if you bothered to read the “about” link you will learn their primary focus is HO scale, but they do plan to offer products in other scales.

See Burlington Bulletin 28 page 26

Carnation had six BREX cars, repainted in 1932, CMX 4201-4206 and 40 former FGE 36000 series cars (1933) CMX 6400-6439. They had a large red, white, green and black Carnation tin to the left of the doors. There were also Union Refrigerator Transit cars including URTX 23214 with a similar design.

I've yet to see a photo of any prototype "Carnation" billboard paint scheme. If they existed it would
have been most likely before the 1930's.

Hi Richard, Tony, and List Members,

 

I assume we are trying to compare the Athearn body and paint scheme shown at the link below...

 

 

with the Carnation wood reefers shown in the rediculously long link below...

 

 

 

Is that right?

  Certainly not on the Athearn body. There was a similar though not identical scheme on a pre-1934 billboard car. I suspect Athearn winged it on that one, possibly using current Carnation advertising.

Re: Scratchbuilding a car in styrene

Charlie Vlk
 

All-

My off-topic inquiry did reveal that lapped profile boards did make it into car interiors and floors for their intrinsic ability to provide a tighter car for grain and other loads.

And as somebody mentioned the term I was really thinking of was “lapstrake”.

I didn’t expect to see a website dedicated to Joanna’s not shiplap and I’m happy I asked.

Thanks,

Charlie Vlk
