is this a top chord reinforcement
Claus Schlund \(HGM\)
Hi List Members,
The link below shows a RDG gondola. Along the top chord, I see an area that
has been altered - is this a top chord reinforcement, or is this damage that has
not yet been repaired?

Re: Who manufactured this car?
Similar seam-caps were offered in several kit lines, and they were available as separate detail parts. Some were made of brass and some from thin sheet steel.

The general constuction is simialr to both Silver Streak and Ulrich kits of the period, but the car’s proportions don’t look like either. There were many other companies offering similar kits too. The riveted corner posts are unusual. Dan Mitchell ==========

I built a Silver Streak kit years ago with similar seam caps on the roof.

Re: Who manufactured this car?
Could that be an old Ulrich kit?

Who manufactured this car?
Chuck Cover
Hi,
Looking for some help identifying the manufacturer of this model. The model has wood sides and ends, has white metal bolsters, and has brass pieces that act as roof cross braces (not sure what to call them) and brass z-braces for vertical and diagonal side supports. I purchased this model many years ago and it has been operating on my layout. I would like to learn something about it. Thanks Chuck Cover Santa Fe, NM

Atlas Powder tank car built 9-15 (with a raised walkway) and an AC&&Y hopper car built 10-19 APCX 1058 is one of those high-walkway cars (probably) built by Pennsylvania Tank Car with the underframe later used by Standard Tank Car. AC&Y 7042 is probably ex-Clinchfield. David Thompson

Hi List Members,
Thanks to everyone for the great information. I had seen cars of this
unique construction type in images before, but I could never make out the
reporting marks.
See image below for one such example taken on the DL&W - in the
string of hoppers third car from the left

100-ton Andrews trucks in HO
David
The PA&McKR 90-ton Andrews trucks were used under PSCX 1091, a sample battleship gondola built by Pressed Steel Car in 1921 that shows up in the '20s CBCs. This car was leased to Virginian for most of the 1920s. Pittsburgh Allegheny & McKees Rocks ended up with a number of PSC sample cars over the years.

RDG 12343 / Reading 12870
Ray Hutchison
So Reading has a variety of cocao cars... 22870 has different roof hatches and different hopper doors than 12343. 12343 does appear to be repurposed drop-bottom box car, with the regular hopper doors 22870 appears to be built for dedicated service. When I first saw the car I was wondering how they would be cleaned (maybe just steam cleaning through the hatches?) Cocao husks are sold by our local botanical garden as mulch; would they have been used for same or different purpose pre-WWII period?
