Drop Brake Staff For Flat Cars

I was preping  a Red Caboose Southern Pacific flat car kit this morning.  I was very impressed with their version of the drop brake staff detail.  I had been pondering how to do this deail.  I have a built.car but had overlooked this feature.  I would sure like to find more.  Combined with the square brake shaft thar Bill Welch passed out a few years ago it will make a striking feature.

Looks like the STMFC fine print only allows two attached photos. Here are a couple more that Gregg has sent.

On the Mac, press Shift, Command, and 4 keys together, drag the crosshair to select the desired area, and release. The image is saved on the desktop.

I opened the largest of the large choices, did Print Screen, opened the file in PE, cropped the image, enhanced focus and contrast, and saved it to disk. Sharpening and adding contrast enable me to read the lettering, and the file is only 2.18 MB.

You can open a Word document, click on Screen Capture and capture the image that way, then save the Word document.

No, but you can adjust the zoom to fill the screen, do a screen capture to the clipboard (PrtScn), paste the image into any number of programs (Powerpoint, Photoshop, etc), and save it as a JPEG, PNG, or whatever.  EZ-PZ.

Who Manufactured This Model?

Who Manufactured This Model?

I recently acquired this HO scale model at a swap meet. Nobody seemed to know who manufactured it.

The model has a wood body with printed sides, brass door hinges and wire grab irons and sill steps. It represents a pre-SFRD Santa Fe Hanrahan reefer, probably built in1892.

Does anyone know who manufactured this model?

Thanks.

Very nice photos, thanks for sharing. It appears to be one of the many ACF cars that URTX had. My notes show this series were the earlier 1922 design so I question the 1920 build date. The 5.jpg clearly shows the 2 but the last digit appears to be hidden under the piece of wood. January 1923 would fit the delivery of the second lot of ACF cars.

Gregg Condon forwarded these recent photos of this URTX/Milw wooden reefer in Winona, Minn., serving as a storage shed, and until recently hidden under falsework siding. 
 
Here's the backstory, In Gregg's words:
 
"Railfanning is wayyy fun, especially when you discover the wayyy unexpected. Pat and I were driving down a street in Winona. We passed an old business building just as a couple guys finished tearing the end off an old shed and I saw it was lettered "URTX." I sez to Pat in a frenzy, "Go around the block!" We went back and she shot the attached pix with her phone. Dark cloudy day, but you can see that perhaps 80 to 90 years ago somebody had nailed two-by-two batts to a wooden refrigerator car and nailed siding over that. Built date is 1920. Interesting to see the preserved true paint colors from that era."

Clamps, Gary.  Specially cast clamps to hold the ladder stiles close to the car at the midpoint.  There are similar clamps at the top and bottom of the ladders, particularly noticeable at the end ladder.
