Re: some steam era work train equipment images

Both the IC and the Milwaukee Road had numerous tenders converted to sand cars. The Milwaukee also converted their old tenders to snowplows and flangers.

frame from a smaller steam loco with a home built bunker for sand added to it. A lot of
steamers went to scrap with perfectly good tenders or tender frames if the tank was shot.

Re: [Non-DoD Source] [RealSTMFC] Photo: Seamless Pipe Fitting Load On GN Flat Car 60031 (1956)
Gatwood, Elden J SAD
Bob, all;
These GN cars are very interesting. I know next to nothing about them, except what I can glean from photos. I believe it is a well flat, not a well HOLE flat, since it does not look like the floor supports are removable. I have wondered what GN needed these cars for, since it is usually an on-line customer that needed them. These shipments were just lucrative enough that RRs could be convinced the roster them, otherwise….not.
The side members are surprisingly slender for a more typical well flat, which generally had deep side sills, but there is that u/f, which indicates the well is not that deep….

By the time that the photo was taken, the Weber Wagon Company had become a subsidiary of International Harvester (purchased Weber in 1906). See:

The machinery has a lot of blocking, but does not appear to have tie-downs. Have I missed them? Or would the weight of the freight negate the need for tie-downs?

Re: Experimentation on modeling inside details of Youngstown doors

Those look great Andy. I am sure they would attract the guys who like to leave a door open with a partial load inside. I know at train shows (when we have them again!) it would be an attention getter. Rich Christie

Updating my own post --
After looking at the Branchline truck, I'm going to go with the Tahoe 213 Barber S-2. Not only is it a better truck, but the coil spacing looks more like this one. Ron Merrick
