And Accurail kits have always been a step up from Athearn and more accurate. They may not be craftsman kits but with just a little work can be darn good looking. Jim Hayes Portland Oregon www.sunshinekits.com On Wed, Nov 18, 2009 at 2:57 PM, Francis A. Pehowic, Jr. < rdgbuff56@yahoo.com> wrote:

Re: Accurail Offset Twin

Dennis,
I have a question. Is it worth the chance and expense to put another car on the market that has been done more than a couple of times before. It is already known that some shortcuts (leeway) have been taken to put this in production. Can you really make enough to have money to invest in future products? The Athearn car is fairly inexpensive and readily works for modelers who operate. If you need a well detailed car that might be different. I would think most modelers are looking for something new, not a rehash. Francis A.

Re: New Accurail Offset twin hopper
Dennis Storzek
Well, glad someone finally noticed we are releasing a twin hopper.
The prototype is basically the AAR standard car as illustrated in the 1940 Car Builder's Cyclopedia, although we actually used several P-S drawings from the Pullman Library of the Illinois Railway Museum for data. This car has a 33'-0" IL. One difference is the Z bar end posts as opposed to the pressed channel sections only below the slope sheet. The car does have the angled end sections on the side sills, as Ed Hawkins mentioned, same as our 70 ton triple hopper. In fact, the entire end of the car as far in as the bolsters is the same as the 70 ton car, because as Ed surmised, we are re-using the cavity inserts from the 70 ton car tooling. We are also using the same detail parts: brake equipment, rugged sill steps, slope sheet braces, and hopper doors that are used in that kit. All this short / long taper stuff is getting confusing, because most offset cars have a taper from the bolster to the corner post, no matter how they look from the side. Ed worked out what I think is a better terminology in his article in RP Cyc No.1; AAR Standard, Alternate Standard, and non-standard offset twin hoppers. What we are doing follows the AAR standard design. The end panels taper from the bolster to the corner post, but the line where this taper meets the inward slope of the top of the side sheet terminates about 18" from the corner; because of this the top chord of the sides have a bend at that point, giving the car somewhat of a bowl shape in plan view. The Alt. Standard cars have a completely straight top chord, and therefore the line where the two angles meet runs all the way to the corner, and this line is not parallel to the slope sheet. These cars also use hat section stakes, so the rivet pattern differes from the AAR Standard car. I was willing to tool the new inserts to model the hat section stakes, until I realized that this always goes along with the "long" taper line on the end panel; since the budget was based on using the existing tooling parts, I abandoned that idea and did the standard car. What Ed calls "non-standard" cars typically have a double bend offset in the last panel, and again have a straight top chord, I think. I don't actually have any fabrication drawings for a car of this type, so haven't actually studied the geometry. This is one problem with thinking that one can just change the end panels of the side to produce the different versions. When one actually looks at the situation in 3-D, one finds that the shape of that end panel also affects the shape of both the inside of the car and the area under the slope sheet, and necessitates re-doing a lot more of the tool than is at first evident. This is not a case where modular design is going to be effective. Maybe someone will tool one of these minor variations someday, but the lure of thirty-some roadnames on nearly identical cars is hard to resist. We'll leave those versions for companies that like to do $42 cars. Our kits will be one third that price. The tooling is complete and we had test shots and a built up kit at the show in Milwaukee. At Accurail test shots are done to check cavity finish and venting issues, not to see if the geometry was correct so we can build it right the second time. The tool is presently back together and waiting it's turn after the parts for the new autorack with side panels to finish molding, and they should start showing up in the shops before Christmas. Now to tool a coal load, since the load we do to fit Athearn cars is too wide. Dennis Storzek Accurail, Inc.

Outside of the taper, and the number of ribs, it seems like theDave, When looking at the various 50-ton AAR hopper cars that were built, one of the key features I look at to distinguish one version from another is the shape of the side sills. The earliest version (used from 1934 to 1949) had side sills that angled upward from the bolsters to the corners and were straight between the bolsters. A later version (used from 1940-1960) had side sills that were level with the track from the bolsters to the corners and had a shallow fish-belly between the bolsters. Note there's a 10-year overlap from 1940-1949 where new cars could have either version. By the way, the same side sill variations were present on 70-ton AAR offset-side hoppers. The Atlas model has side sills representing the early version while the Athearn and Kadee models have side sills representing the later version. The image of the model on the Accurail web site shows a side sill of the early version. Then, of course, there are the differences in how the side sheets nearest the ends were formed as well as a variety of different end arrangements. The combinations of all of these variations are practically endless, not to mention other more subtle differences and specialty items. Some ends with flat tops used angles extending from the top of the end to the end sills, others used channels extending from the bottom of the end sheets to the end sills, and some used closely spaced Z-sections. Further variations include ends having extensions (i.e., peaked ends/heap shields) of various shapes. All of these combinations add to the complexity and cost of tooling. It's my understanding that Accurail is using the same end configuration for their 50-ton model as they used on their 70-ton model. It represents (poorly in my opinion) an end arrangement having Z-section vertical supports that are closely spaced near the middle. The Z-sections on the model aren't Z-sections, and instead are rectangular cross sections, because otherwise the body could not be ejected from the mold. Unfortunately, combining this end with the side arrangement creates a very rare prototype 50-ton AAR hopper car. There are other end arrangements that would be a better choice for more road names. It comes down to the tooling cost involved with making other variants. Since Accurail already had the end tooled from their 70-ton model, they chose economy by reusing the end despite the relative rarity of the car that will be offered. Depending on sales once the models are released, perhaps Accurail might be open to offering other end variations that were more commonly found on prototype 50-ton AAR Standard hopper cars. My intent is NOT to hurt Accurail sales, but rather to help educate consumers in making an informed decision on what they buy. To that end I will be happy to assist any manufacturer interested in producing accurate models of AAR hopper cars. Regards, Ed Hawkins

Re: Pre-Trip Inspection
OK that is an easy one. I am employed as a Carman for Kansas City Southern Railroad in Jackson, MS. As to the difference for than and now, I can say that there is probably very little.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Basically when the yard switcher gets the cut of cars ready in a track the yard office, assistant train master, will call us Carman and tell us something like I have 50 cars in track 8 for the train number. We will go out and lock out and blue flag the track. If there are motors on the cut of cars we will put a blue light on the lead motor, and use the motor for the air process. If not we have ground air going to the middle of every two tracks at the end of the track. We will begin by tying at least three hand brakes on the beginning of every cut. We will procede by going through inspecting for mechanical defects ie.. loose hand holds, low couplers, wheels defects basically anything that was missed on an inbound inspection, or has since been messed up. We will be lacing the air hoses all the way down the cars and proced till we get to the end. There we will make sure that it has the proper air pressure on the last car. When that is achevied we will go back to the head end and begin to test the air brakes. Will will bleed the cars down the 20 lbs. of air pressure to suffeciently set the brakes up. We will than go back through. This time a little faster because all we are looking at it the brake pistons. They have to be all set up. One of us would have stayed at the head end to than release the brakes. That person will than release the air brakes and we will go back though looking to make sure all were released. When this is accomplished we will than go back to the head end and remove the air and test device from the head car and unlock removing blue flags and lock and go back to our office to tell the yard office about any bad orders that they need to kick out before the train leaves. We will leave a EOT at the head end so that the train crew can hang it and arm it to the motor. This is just about the only step that would have been different back in the steam era. We average about a minute a car for the entire process unless we run into some air charging process or repairs that we carman need to make, I am talking about things that are bad but not bad enough to go to the rip track.

ARA/AAR transitional end side-panels being used: AAR Kiesel)? ARA licensed by Wine)?
The descriptive terms of "tapered" and "step" have been used to described how the off-set side returns to the end panel. Most examples I have seen would be "short " with a "stepped" or "taper" return to the end panel. The "stepped" end panel is the one I associate with Enterprise and the earlier ARA designs also use on the quad and triple hoppers of that period. For the B&O it was the class W-2, which were built with "Hat" braces for the off-set side rather than the angles used on the later AAR designs. The articles in the RP Cyc clearly describe all the differences in the ARA/AAR twin off-set side hoppers. As Ed Hawkins has pointed out many time on this list, the type of end braces and their locations determine if a model is appropriate for a given railroad. From many photos, he also has documented which way the angles face on the sides. Of the current offerings, the Atlas model has press steel ends and model the earlier version of the AAR standard twin hopper built beginning in the mid-1930s. The Athearn and Kadee model have widely spaced angle end braces, which appeared later. The B&O and ACL and some other railroads had angled ends, but spaced closer together. Of course the B&O hoppers had Duryea underframes just to add another variation. From the "technical drawing" of the new off-set side hopper from Accurail, it appears to follow the AAR standard with an IL of 33'-0". We don't know what end bracing they have used on the model. May be Dennis will provide more details about this new model. Also in the tradition of Accurail hopefully they will substitute different "sides" and produce the AAR "alternate" off-set twin hopper as a future release. Regards, Bob Witt

Long-taper = top panel break goes all the way to the corner post (1931 AAR Kiesel)? Short-taper = top panel break goes to edge of the "ladder-flat" (1928 ARA licensed by Wine)? The Enterprise design has more panel breaks. Al Kresse

Thanks, Chet and Ed. Your answers solve a number of small mysteries that had been bothering me, and confirm what I had come to conclude shortly after my posting, that this was a nonuniform series. It both explains why some of this series were 8-panel cars and made clear what should have occurred to me before-- for a model of the 8-panel car I am going to have to find an appropriate underframe, which won't be the AAR standard.

Re: Bieber 1947 4th quarter *02 cars (GN, WP Interchange At Bieber)
Allen Rueter
Al,
Actually my interests lie a little further north, the OT, if you have a GN time table, does it not show the ruling grades?, the one steam era one I saw once did. GN was known for trying to run trains at maximum tonnage. If you look at Austin & Dill's book, you will see double headed N-3s. As someone else pointed out, it's fairly flat K-Falls to Bieber. It may of been that GN only shows the local on its scheduled , all through trains could extras. ETTs are only a clue. I know from talking to a conductor of my other favorite, the Wabash, that an extra ran seven days a week for years, yet it doesn't show up in any timetable, making it look like there were more east bounds then west bounds, when it really was closer to equal, but tonnage wise it was more west bound (got to love that coal). -- Allen Rueter StLouis MO ________________________________ From: Al Daumann <sp-blackwidow@sbcglobal.net> To: STMFC@yahoogroups.com Sent: Mon, November 16, 2009 10:37:42 PM Subject: Re: [STMFC] Bieber 1947 4th quarter *02 cars (GN, WP Interchange At Bieber) Allen, Thanks for the reply.
