Re: C&O 8000-9499 boxcar end diagram
Dennis Storzek
Thanks Ben. Since its not the car I was thinking of, I have nothing that will help you. However, I encourage you to order the N&W drawing David has identified. This is one level deeper than the typical General Arrangement drawing, and includes enough sectional views that a 3D model can be constructed entirely from the information on that drawing, provided you can read the dimensions. The N&WHS are a wonderful resource; fast and reasonably inexpensive for the value received.

The only one of the 1926, 28, 29, and 30 built cars I've been able to inspect is the 1929 car at the Illinois Railway Museum, where those pix were taken. Dennis Storzek

Re: Soo Line boxcar

Elliot,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I just found the instructions for the Sunshine kit, and now understand what you are referring to. Neither the instructions for the Speedwitch kit or Ted Culotta’s article on the cars showed this part, so I didn’t include it on the model. I don’t know
if this part was unique to the later cars that were modeled by the Sunshine kit, or if it was used on all series of Soo sawtooth boxcars. I also looked at a number of photos of Soo sawtooth boxcars. The few that showed the brake cylinder did not seem to
contain the mechanism shown on the Sunshine instructions. Hopefully one of our Soo Line experts can shed more light on this subject.
Sincerely,
Rich Remiarz

KCS boxcar
Richard Remiarz
Attached are photos of a KCS Interim AAR boxcar I just completed. It was built from a Speedwitch kit. The flat finish dried less than 2 hours before packing the car and bringing it to the Twin Cities Modeler’s Retreat. Nothing like a deadline to drive progress.
The photos were taken at the Modeler’s Retreat tonite on a module I will be using tomorrow for a scenery clinic.

Re: Help Identifying Boxcar Ends.

**** I must have mis transcribed the GN group. ****
Welcome to the group! (GRIN) I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve made that mistake in my life!
Yes, you did. It was late last night as I responded to those messages . . . . . .

**** Thanks Steve. You're right but I have ignored the treatment of the flat-bottom top major rib because EVERYONE in the hobby biz has ignored it (in HO scale) with one Accurail exception (I think; from memory). **** Your memory is pretty good - Accurail does make a rthin/3/3 end for some of it's reefer kits. Bill Welch posted a teaser shot a year or so ago ahead of one of his clinics. The pic did include a rthin/3/4 end. I queried him off list and he turned me on to the Accurail ends. I've got four sets here that I'm attempting to convert into a viable master suitable for casting enough in resin to cover my needs (Four dozen or so for GN, SP&S, and perhaps other cars). Unfortunately, my skills at removing ladders, brake housings, and tack boards from curve services is lacking . . . . . . ☹ **** There are dozens and dozens of examples where that feature is missing from our models. :-( **** Yep Almost 20K cars with the IDN-2 end. I'm doing some Excel work to see if I can't do a nice job of summarizing Ed's data by various IDN-2 configurations - maybe a nice summary might temp someone to consider marketing additional end options.

Re: pdf attachment errors
Paul Woods <paul@...>
Hi John and Group
Yes, I frequently get taken to the group home page instead of the attachment I had clicked on in an e-mail. This is primarily .jpg's in my case but I have also come across .pdf's that won't load. I have found that I can sometimes view the offending attachment by going into the list of messages on the groups.io site and clicking on the link there, but it is not always available. Regards Paul Woods
