Re: The Freight Goes Through
Bill,
Thanks for the video link, starting at 17 37 a GN plywood car rolls by in the orange scheme. Jumped out at me. Lots of other standout cars right in my time period. As rob says, worth study. Dan Smith

Looks good Steve! My daughter says to re-use and re-purpose, not just re-cycle! I figured those Walthers cars fit the bill. :-)

Great video! That will be worth study. I’m immediately struck by the number of dark brown cars.

Is anyone working on rosters of Frisco freight & MOW cars? The Pacific Northwest Railroad Archive in September received some material transferred from St. Paul and this includes ledgers from the Frisco with cars listed individually.

Might be something useful here: https://www.irm.org/gallery/IC40285 This looks to be the same class of car with the door opening expanded, but I have no idea when.

Re: File /Lowering Intermountain Truck Bolsters.doc uploaded
#file-notice
Richard Remiarz
Tim,
As Andy Carlson already stated, the issue is that the height is incorrect with the trucks that come with the cars. It is a fundamental issue with the underframe casting. Since this underframe is used under many different Intermountain boxcars, it affects
a large number of cars. What I found interesting is that, as Andy stated, this has been a known problem for some time, but many modelers seem to forget about it (as I have at times). This started with me posting a description of how I built a 40' Postwar
AAR boxcar, including lowering the car, without even thinking about the significance of the issue, it is just something I do on Intermountain boxcars. Not only were there a number of posts asking for more information, but I received a number of private emails
from list members asking about how I lowered the car. I didn't expect my description was going to raise so many questions.
I agree that with some brands of trucks additional work is required to maintain the correct height. However, I have found that many (most) brands of trucks I use are very close in bolster height, requiring no extra efforts. On the other hand, I just spent
an hour making adjustments on an Atlas 1932 AAR boxcar to get the car to the correct height after putting on new trucks, including filing the metal bolster.
Again, thanks
to Jim Brewer for putting together the document from the various emails.
Sincerely,
Rich Remiarz

I always have to fuss with height when I'm using Kadee trucks, for example, on a non-Kadee model. On 11/24/2020 6:59 PM, main@RealSTMFC.groups.io Notification wrote:

Re: Search STMFC question

Al and Friends, Richard's had two articles on the 50' SS boxcars in the July 1995 RMJ. The first article covered the prototypes, and a second was on upgrading MDC cars. He followed this up with another pair of prototype and model articles in the July 1996 RMJ. Going a bit farther back, Richard Burg had three articles on prototype 50' SS auto and boxcars. I have parts two and three, which ran in the October and November 1989 RMJ. An unattributed addendum to Richard's series gives a list of the prototypes in the November 1989 RMJ. You can find all these RMJ articles on the Trainlife Magazine Library in PDF format. And let's not forget Ted Culotta's "Essential Freight Cars: 41" from RMC. I don't have the date for this one, as I clipped it off the bottom of my scans. In Ted's list of available models, he mainly lists resin kits, but also includes the MDC cars. He does not mention Walthers' cars at all. I don't have the correspondence from the old USENET group, but IIRC, the general feeling that the Walthers car was pretty much a complete kludge. I think that scared almost everybody away in favor of the more accurate MDC cars, which might explain why there weren't any articles on upgrading the Walthers offering. I bought one as soon as they came out and thought it was a nice car, then the comments came. Mine went up for sale when I cleaned house of my Athearn and similar cars. I just checked my parts box, and discovered I have two of the A-ends from these cars (you had a choice of a 3-3-3 Dreadnaught end or the end door, with the B-end being part of the main casting), so I must have bought two and installed the end doors. Yours Aye, Garth Groff 🦆

IC 50' double door single sheathed box car
Andy Carlson
Hi Al- Based on your mentioning of IC 50'ers, I went to Fallen Flag and found a 1968 shot of IC 34730, a 4 + 5 panel double door SS car. This car had 5-5-7 Murphy corrugated ends, a lower side sill fish belly attachment and similar Howe truss configuration. My board counts show + or - one wood board. The upper side sill on the IC car seems a bit taller than the Walthers side, but the diagonal braces on each end look close to exact. Hard to determine the IC roof. Door and half Wood doors lasting to the late 1960s. That may make the side panels a bit wider in dimension compared to the true double door Walthers car. All-in-all, I would say interesting! Thanks, -Andy Carlson Ojai CA
