Re: Three freight car portraits

Thanks Schuyler! Two of these three portraits feature the same car with different exposures. I was just discussing the DL&W box car fleet of the 1900-1930 era with a few friends the other day. Here

Re: Southern 40' Flat Cars

Re: Southern 40' Flat Cars

David, Thanks for the link. Now I see that the 115850 series are the cars with the shallow fishbelly sides. The drawing is rather misleading. I really like these cars as they are

Re: Three freight car portraits

Actually only two but great to have. Thanks for the reference Schuyler. Two cars 99 years old and has anyone ever seen such Plain Jane cars, especially the "vehicle car". Presumably for either wagons

Re: Fascia & Industry

Bob and Bill, Interesting concepts. Here's another take. How about a flat wall of the fascia material, no interior detail, but with windows and maybe an open freight door allowing the
