NYC box car with a star on it
I just bought a Bachmann Silver Series (15009) box car, NYC 164613, stamped BLT 10-47. Under the oval “NEW YORK CENTRAL SYSTEM” logo is a 5-pointed star about 10 scale inches wide. Does anyone know what the star means? This is not an REA car with an attendant or anything. Just a regular 40’ box car.
Thanks, Doug Paasch |

Yes to both - I'd have to locate his e-mail - I owe him a
message. His catalog was, I think, $10 at the show - and, to
be honest, worth it in terms of matching with Eric's work to get a better
understanding.

Bob Webber
Bill, thanks. Steve Hile had been looking to
contact him and finally made the connection a month or so ago -
then suggested he might be interested in the Cocoa Beach show.
Keith said yes he would, and I was very happy to see him there.

I think the catalog was $7 at the event, more by mail I am sure. I do not know about his email situation.

Re: Photo: LV Boxcar 72286

I'm particularly intrigued by the location of this photo since I can trace my heritage to Hoboken. If I'm not mistaken, this is the southernmost end of the Hoboken Manufacturers Railroad, later known as the Hoboken Shore Line. The Holland-America piers were just a couple of blocks north of the Lackawanna's Hoboken Terminal but were served from the north end of Hoboken. http://hbs.railfan.net/ |

Bill In the may 2008 issue of RMC on pages 60-65 by James Kinkaid there are 3 pictures of G22b in container service with three different crown type trucks. One is very much like the trucks on our Railmaster car with the leaf springs in the center Don Ford Cameron MO

Requesting instructions for Wright Trak Seaboard V10
Clark Cooper
Hello,
I recently acquired a Wright Trak Seaboard V10 kit, and a note inside the box refers me to the no-longer-existent web site to download the instructions. I searched the RealSTMFC group files and messages, just in case, but did not see them. Nor could I find them on the Wayback Machine archives of the original Wright Trak web site. Would some kind soul be willing & able to email me a copy of the instructions? If so, please send to csc[at]mchsi[dot]com Thanks! -Clark Cooper |
