Bill,

Their two other trucks both share the same sideframe and have separate press-fit springs, either coils or leaf (caboose). The side frame is almost an exact copy of Accurail's. It's just missing the lettering and the journal boxes are slightly larger. Brian Leppert Carson City, NV

True Liune trucks
Bill Welch
I noticed while prowling around "True Line Trains" website that they offer 3 trucks that look like they are good for our era. I know they did a truck for their Fowler cars that requires major surgery on anybody else's U/F but I am wondering about the other two offering and what they are intended to represent and if they fill any gaps. (One is probably a caboose truck given the leaf springs.)
As with brake wheels, I cannot always recognize what is represented and was surprised to see the 3 truck styles they offer pictured w/o any description of what they are supposed to be. BTW they also have a line of paints. Bill Welch

Re: CP model to fit a paint scheme
Doug Rhodes
Clark, you can use the "stepped block" decals your friend likes on a "minibox" since these cars were
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
were seen with this scheme (as they were with the later "script" scheme.) The cars had a very long service life, and as result were repainted at various times with whatever lettering scheme was current at the time. The "Spans the World" scheme was actually only used for a few short years in the late 1940's, while the "stepped block" scheme was current from the late 1940s to the early 1960s. There is a photo of a "minibox" still in "stepped block" in 1983 (albeit in work service by that time) in the Morning Sun Canadian Pacific Colour Guide. As others have pointed out, pretty much any steel boxcar introduced to CPR service up to about 1961 could realistically have these decals applied, so depending on the modeled era there would be a wide variety of options to choose from. Hope this helps Doug Rhodes .

Hi Rob,
There is an excellent colour photo in book "Classic Freight Cars Volume 3" that provides a down-on view of a yard full of bright red Swift reefers. All the wood roofs are weathered. The original wood roof colour may have been bright red but after some use appears to be more like box car red, with a gray cast. Hope that helps. I hope the sand storm dust didn't get on your fine models. John Riddell

Tony, the first car on the third track from the left was once a LaBelle Woodworking kit. I built one when I was about 15, and it's the first time I've seen a photo of the model. Still have it, and it's held up well all these years. Nice to see if it had a real prototype and that it's pretty close.I'm no expert on LaBelle, but every kit of theirs that I've looked into was authentic.
