Re: Wooden Box Cars with Peaked End Sheathing
Ray Breyer
Pick a prototype, and modify the model to match. Virtually all wood-roofed boxcars had a fascia, which was there to cover and protect the roof carlines (it's not decorative). Adding end fascia boards shouldn't take more than couple of minutes. I just breezed through about 1,000 double sheathed boxcar builder photos, and didn't find ANY without end fascias (if you head to the LoC website and look up Civil War railroad photos you'll find a few cars there without fascias).

I've attached a photo of a kit drawing that illustrates this type of construction. From research I've done so far, such cars may have been built in the late 19th century. I'd like to decal the model I'm assembling with a historically-correct road name consistent with the period when such cars were built. -Chuck

Dennis Storzek <dennis@...>
Need more info. From the drawing, it appears to be a truss rod underframe car, that correct? 36' or 40'? What kit? What is A.C.? I don't recall anyone that made a kit for an Algoma Central boxcar.

Re: Wooden Box Cars with Peaked End Sheathing

I should have been a little clearer in my description. As you can see in the drawing, the sheathing actually forms a peak just under the actual peak of the roof. Fascia board follows that peak shape, as you can see in the drawing.

Re: Manifest of lading

Thats right Tony, by manifest I meant non professional lists of what would in actuality be waybills. Looking forward to your blog! Thanks, Bob

Manifest of lading
Robert G P
Hello all, One of my hobbies within this hobby is creating manifest of freight trains where I imagine lading and origin/destination of the car. Is there anyone who can point me where I can find original manifest with lading included or could add photos to the group? Always looking for inspiration. Thanks, Bob

The Class Fe-P cars were built in 1923 by Pullman-Standard. These were door-and-a-half cars. There were several number series for these cars and due to modifications, those equipped with auto racks were reclassified to Fe-T. Bob Chaparro Hemet, CA

Re: Photo: ATSF Boxcar 126439 (Bx-12)
Robert kirkham
I wish they were larger format images. In any eve, the photos allow some zooming in - and it makes me ask a question: do the car ends of the two cars look different? To my eye, the corrugation pattern is not the same. I’m curious to see a clearer view of the end of that more distant car. Or the end of another car from the same purchase.

That last paragraph answers a longtime Q of mine. I wonder what cars were left down there, and if any survive today? Thanks again, Bob

Ted Cullotta offers a kit for the Erie cars you mentioned and there's a photo of one of these cars with WIF markings in one of his books. |
