Re: PRR X37 and X38 box cars (and some more)
Doug Brown <brown194@...>
From the diagram sheets and photos, as well as the time period, it
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
appears that X29d, X29e and X46 share the same car body with different underframes. The X29d doesn't have the door reinforcements due to the narrower underframe. It also looks like the X29e reused the X29 side sills upside down with a full sill reinforcement like the X46. The clue to this is the location of the poling pockets relative to the end sill. PRR diagrams are mostly accurate in representing most details. The X29b diagram is a big exception. It is a modified copy of the X26c diagram including the modified Murphy end! The X45 looks like an AAR 50" car like Branchlines with side sheets spanning three side posts instead of the usual two. Removing the seam lines on each odd side post locations will yield an accurate model. Doug Brown

If Sunshine still offers the X37, X37A, and X37B, isn't that class pretty much covered, or am I missing some subclass? I agree the X38 is the biggest missing hole in PRR boxcar kits, but there are those that would argue a number of others. The real challenge would be doing all those unique rebuilds, many of which do not seem to have photographic coverage. I'll be the first to buy a kit if someone does them. BTW, doesn't Al offer the X23? And you have pretty good kits in the Branchline versions of X43B and C, X44 and X53. Oriental and Rail Classics did the X40 and X40B. Railworks and Bowser did the X33.

Subject: RE: [STMFC] X29 NYC USRA Box Cars Don't forget Bowser's X32 family. The different subclasses of X37 would be really great to have. Different subclasses had different IH by having different height transitions from the side sheets to the roof. All had 9'-7 1/2" high door openings with a 4" range of overall height. Look at the corner caps of the different subclasses. Almost everything else used a Z-bar to connect the two. The X38 and X41 had the same transition as the X37B. The X37 and X38 are also unusual in that the sides were made with one steel sheet spanning two panels. There are no lap seams between the first and second panels, third and fourth panels, etc. The diagram sheets also show this. The X38 diagram shows two sheets on the left and three on the right. Most of the roof sheets also spanned two panels. Only the end roof sheets and the center one on the X38 spanned only one panel.

Box Car Populations/Frt Train Consists
Mike Brock <brockm@...>
Dave Nelson says:
"It was from that set of data that prompted me to go looking for wheel reports to verify at the detail level what aggregate numbers were showing, which both Tim Gilbert and I have done, and then to form the obvious conclusion useful to modelers: plan your roster of non-home house cars using the percentages of each roads contribution to the national fleet." As I have said in the past, I don't believe this conclusion is completely correct. Note that I say..."completely". Here's why. 1. The evidence in my frt UP conductor book does not match Tim's...particularly for SP box cars....the number of SP box cars in mine being about double Tim's. It doesn't matter why...the result is what counts...if one is modeling the yr of the data. 2. We know from the evidence in my book and from video tape that frt trains were definitely NOT random receivers of box cars on the RR. Instead, they were grouped into particular trains assigned specific roles. This eliminates the opportunity to select randomly from the pool of box cars developed according to the per cent data. IOW, why worry about matching one's box car population to that on the entire RR if one is really concerned only with matching actual frt train consists..albeit compressed ones? My point is that I really don't want to maintain a fleet of box cars that matches that which resided on the RR during a yr. I DO want to maintain a fleet that allows me to reconstruct frt trains as they existed [ with compression ]. 3. The 1949 data that I have contains the consists of 35 frt trains over a period that equates to about 1/35 of the total frt trains during the period. This amount of data...given the non randomness of frt train consists...is so small and incomplete that, IMO, conclusions are subject to great error. As I have mentioned before, I also have data from 4 or 5 frt trains from 1953 which shows such complete disagreement with the population info as to make using that info for frt train consists very missleading. 5. The population information is useful to demonstrate long term box car appearances. It seems to me, however, that if one is going to try to simulate actual frt train consists, one needs frt conductor books or otherwise information containing such consists. That, regretfully, is not easy to come by. Nevertheless, that which is available warns me at least that long term box car populations don't reflect well the consist of UP frt trains on the Overland Route....at least in the spring of 1949 and the fall of 1953. How other RRs are effected is beyond my scope. I will again attempt to find the time to make my data available to Tim and Dave Nelson. The goal, of course, is to arrive at the best answer regarding box car...and other cars...presence in actual frt trains. Mike Brock

Re: Coming in June - Athearn 40' Ribside Boxcars
Richard Hendrickson
Responding to Shawn Beckert's alert regarding MILW rib-side models from
Athearn, Ted Culotta observes: Ted is doubtless correct, since the broadside illustrations on the Athearn website, though they don't show the ends, do show rectangular panel roofs, as on the old MDC models, rather than the double-panel roofs on the prototype cars and the Rib Side models. Of course, the Athearn/MDC models will be RTR, and though they are radically inaccurate representations of the MILW prototype cars, they will doubtless appeal to those trainset bozos who wouldn't consider actually building a freight car model - a description that fits no subscriber to this list, needless to say.

After reading thoroughly the interesting data (much in previous posts and years) from Tim, Bruce, Ben, and others, I went back and looked closely at my area and era, and the photos available to me of same. What struck me again was the differences. As expected, my area (Pgh) was replete with hoppers, flats, and gondolas. There also seemed to be a disproportionate number of 50' double door box cars as compared to plain old 40-footers. But, this was the nature of the era and the area, which was dominated by coal, iron and steel, and auto parts manufacture. And, the almost complete absence of reefers and stock cars. But, what made an even bigger impression on me was Tim's data on unserviceable cars on the PRR. I always wondered about the huge strings of rusting X29's, H21's, and round roofs, found in many of the major yards. IF you are modeling a big yard, you ought to model a feature like this. And, what a cool feature it would be! But, it also seemed that there were always a few cars (mostly gons, but also buckled or holed hoppers, deck-less flats, and contaminated or door-less box cars) around in each seldom-used siding. Whether these were the result of a continuous conveyor belt of forced set-outs, or otherwise, I will never know. But, some of these cars sat in under-used sidings for YEARS. They collected dirt, garbage, and gradually a small forest of vegetation. When I read Richard's description about the "time machine" at La Mesa, I was brought back to this issue. I need DOZENS of bad order, or NEARLY bad order cars, on my layout. Non-revenue cars are as much a part of this time machine we are trying to re-create, as the revenue cars are.

Re: speaking of distinctive Pennsy cars..... the H33
Greg Martin
Scott Chattworth write...
"I've had an itch to kitbash a Pennsy H33 out of a Bowser or Kato 1,958cf covered hopper ever since the "paint schemes of the Pennsy's covered hoppers" issue of "The Keystone" came out. These were basically copies of the 1,958cf design except they were welded and had evenly spaced hatches, etc. Built circa 1953 just before P-S intruduced the all-welded PS-2/2003 in 1954, of which Pennsy was one of the first buyers, their H34 class. I gather they were among the first general-service covered hopper fleets to come with roller bearing trucks. Is this correct?" As a matter of fact the first PRR car to have been equiped with roller bearing trucks. I did the car years ago in Mainline Modeler. I used the old ECW car and I was never really happy with it. Since then I Richard Burg printed up a couple of great shots of the cars for me and lectured me on the fact that the car was built with "Zee" braces not REFC (round edged flanged channels)... YIKES! So I am going to start a second car in the future and would like to use the Bowser car as well. I have the information (in my article) on the correct hatch spacing and now know the spacing on the ribs on the top of the car as well. So starting over is no big deal now that I have done it before. The ECW car has a strange pitch to the roof and the Bowser car is a better starting point. I will share what I know. Great car! "Anyone built one of these yet? My abuilding H30 will need company. Seems to be fairly straightfoward: Make a new roof using DA square hatches. Slap a comparitively tall end sheet over the end bracing. What is the size of the side stakes? Am I going to have to shave off all the stakes on a Bowser body? Sit it on Athearn-Genesis's "70-ton" roller bearing trucks with the rotating bearing caps. Paint it Freight Car Color (probably the more brownish shade, not iron oxide), and weather to taste. Not much here, since the layout it will run on is set in western Pennsylvania in 1954-55. Thoughts? Scott C" The stakes are the correct spacing so my thought are to sheath over the top with .005" just slightly wider than the ribs so the eyes pereceive the edge and resheath the roof (that's a given) as it has a lip edge eve like a boxcar of the era. Paint it a PRR FCC and yes wweather to taste... There is a paint and lettering diagram for the car when painted gray (SP Lettering Gray... 3^)...) but in a long discussion with Richard Burg he doesn't believe enough cars were repainted in this scheme to warrent it, at least there is a lack of photo documentation to support it...

Hello Shawn,

Yes, we plan on doing several of the private roads, it's just a matter of time. It's a very slow process of getting to all the requests with only one road name a month. Sam Clarke Kadee Quality Products
