I believe I have photographic evidence of the captive NYO&W hopper car in the coaling tower at Harriman, taken the last time I visited Sherman Hill. The car was pointed out to me by one of those

Dose anyone have any ideas on modeling a Peabody Caboose in HO scale. David

Good Evening, I'm starting another "do with what's on hand" weathering project and the subject is an NP 70000-70048 hopper. I've got an Accurail model of a USRA twin hopper that's lettered for this

That SP&S engine was on it's way back from Livingston, MT after a major overhaul in the NP shops. Looking at a larger printed image of the same picture, there appears to be large numbers on the right

Max, I looked it up. The L&NE doodlebugs 90 and 91 were Brill model 250's, modified with streetcar steps. This information is not in the small L&NE roster in "Doodlebug Country" as I had supposed,

There is a Little America on the west side of Cheyenne. It is just west of I-25 off US 30. You can see and hear the railroad from the gas station /truck stop. The hotel-motel has around six buildings.

Wagontops in 1915? Not true. The B&O rebuilt M-15 double sheathed boxcars of about 1915 vintage into M-15k wagontops around 1935, with RFC government funding. When the funding rules were changed to

John Franz of Mount Vernon Shops produces decal sets for the B&O N-34 wagontop covered hopper car. link: http://www.mountvernonshops.com/ I thought he also produces B&O M-53 wagontop boxcar decals

Funny thing is, not knowing a thing about SP&S vs NP, or SP or UP or Buford or wherever, when I looked at the photo I thought NP <G>. I had noticed the spillage around the dome and one reason I

This was functioning as an auxiliary oil tender for the oil burning SP&S locomotive on this move across non-oil-burning NP territory (to or from NP Livingston shops, I believe). If it was an NP

Yeah, but there are NO GS gon models that are even remotely accurate for the UCR cars (or their UP counterparts). Well, more or less. The UP cars had corrugated ends, which the Ulrich models do

I would not give too much weight to the SP&S 4-8-4 suggesting a possible SP&S tankcar (though the SP&S did roster some MoW high walkway tank cars), as the photo was taken in Paradise, MT. on the

We could change it to Billford... "Pilfered from Billford" has a nice ring to it.

Not a bad guess, Bruce, but apparently wrong, as the car in the (not very clear) image lacks AC&F style stub sills between the bolsters and the end sills. Other builders besides AC&F built high

Well there is a Bruceton SW of Pittsburgh on (at the time of this list) P&WV tracks. Does this mean we should be on the lookout for P&WV hoppers on Sherman Hill? Rich Orr
