Re: Westerfield NB box car
Some NB cars lasted to the 1970's and in THOSE days they could appear just about anywhere. I have pictures from way out west. Here's the only HC photo that I've seen.

I remember when these cars came out that my friend Leo Landry figured out how to cut them up to make 40 foot cars for some road or other. So the kits have their uses! :-) Tim O'Connor

Re: Intermountain Deco end XM'x and others For Sale
I'd forgotten about the Branchline cars! Yes, they did the scheme, and yes, those also were incorrect because of the ends. Tim O'Connor

The "S" and "W" both refer to the shape of interior corner POSTS applied to the cars. They also happen to be reflected in the shape of the overlap on the ends - a "square" shape and a "round" shape respectively. As I wrote, IRC does not make the correct end. Early "1937 AAR" standard box cars built for the Southern, Southern Pacific, and others, had the S corner posts. Tim O'Connor

Bill, that is a splendid model. Please tell us more about how you built the rest of it.
Doug Polinder Poquoson VA Thank you for your kind words Doug and for possibly overlooking my attempt at peeling paint on the roof that looks to me more like bird droppings. The superstructure is a set of resin casting I purchased from Andy Carlson in the mid-1990's and are patterns done by a very good friend of his using pieces of C&BT Car Shops 40-foot boxcars to make the parts. It represents a steel re-build of one of the GN's 50-ft SS boxcars. I am pretty sure it was inspired by a photo in an early RMJ article. I believe the decals are Champ. I do remember having to use pieces or bits of green decal material to come up with the correct looking "DF" symbol. Paint is either Badger's "Modelflex" or predessor Accuflex paint. I built it over 20 years ago so am a little foggy on the details but I am certain about the highlight I have written here. Hope this answers your question Doug. Bill Welch

That's very optimistic of him. I hope he's right. Personally, I think 2020 is over. Plan to have fun in 2021 instead! Think of all the fresh models we'll see in 2021 ! Tim O'

Des Plaines did the A&EC scheme with tobacco leaf scheme on a Viking roof car and Branchline also offered same on a Yardmaster series kit.

David, Des Plaines Hobbies offered the special run of A&EC models that were made by Innovative Model Works (IMWX). The kit I purchased is catalogue no. DPH193, A&EC 1045, having square-corner 4-5 Dreadnaught ends and HE. 3-54 reweigh stencils. It was formerly a Southern car built in 1938. The model came with a wood running board, whereas the A&EC cars received replacement Morton running boards. The IMWX tooling was later sold to Red Caboose ca. 1996, however, I have found no evidence from Red Caboose product lists that the company ever offered the A&EC model. Regards, Ed Hawkins

You're a year too early. Southern sent 100 of their AAR '37 boxes to A&EC in 1954. This may be the first time Intermountain has run the A&EC scheme, but I know it's been done before in HO (probably by Red Caboose, or maybe Des Plaines?).

The book still has a place on my bookshelf next to later and dare I say better resources. John White's historical writing is simply excellent, and in TGYF the text, at least prior to 1930, is entirely reliable.(For later years, Duke even added text.) But Duke added a lot of the photos throughout the book and wrote the captions, so unfortunately you cannot necessarily trust ANY figure caption in the book. It's too bad, as this book would be a great resource if done as John White intended. OTOH, as Duke perceived, it would have had lesser sales appeal if it tapered off in the 1920s, which is where White's personal interests tapered off. Tony Thompson
