I have two of the PSC 65-foot mill gons. #16034-2 Painted and lettered for P&LE's 49300-49499 series cars.. 21 side stakes. Compares well to photo in Freight Car Equipment of the Pittsburgh & Lake

I suspect those are Squire Dingee cars: see Leider, "Pickle and Vinegar Makers of the Midwest", pp 60-61. Al Brown, Melbourne, Fla.

Hi List Members, I count five (5) pickle cars in this image. The name emblazoned on their sides eludes me thought! https://www.flickr.com/photos/barrigerlibrary/12294908846/sizes/o/ Claus Schlund

And they managed to offer 15474 in at least one incorrect paint scheme (B&O). I appreciate everyone's help with this car. I am looking forward to getting it layout-presentable. Thanks, Ed Edward

PSC produced multiple 65 foot gondolas 15474 = CRP/CNJ (23 ribs) 15472 = PRR G26 (same prototype as ECW plastic kit, also ALCOimports) 16034 = NYC 623-G (21 ribs) Tim O'

Guys - PSC imported the same cars in O scale. PSC #15499 is an O scale CNJ 67' mill gondola built by Bethlehem Steel. A photo of the prototype car appears in the 1937 CBC. The car has somewhat

I do indeed plan to start selling the CRPMG ends, roofs, doors and other details just as soon as I can figure it all out and get it on the website. Pierre

As other have already stated, it is a "coaling station". I believe that is the proper term. I do not believe that locomotives were coaled directly from gons here. It looks like a very long throw

Hi Tim, Yes, I believe you are correct and I was in error. Claus Schlund

they look like ordinary stock cars - a poultry car has a "man door" for the rider

With all of the discussion recently about Canadian freight car presence in the US, I decided to build a CN car that has been on my list of todo's for some time. CN 473056 appears in one of my

Hi List Members, There appears to be a trio of poultry cars in this image, hiding in the distance by the trees. Too bad the resolution is not better than it

Hi List Members, Some may enjoy this image of GN double sheathed boxcar 14013 and a CP friend on the C&NW. https://www.flickr.com/photos/barrigerlibrary/12294699533/sizes/o/ I note that GN 14013 is

Hi Claus, This is, most likely, a simple type of coal dock where coalcan be dumped from GS gondolas (mostly) into pockets and then discharged intothe waiting tender of the engine on the mainline.

Claus Schlund asked: >What type of industry is this, at the inclined ramp, being served by steam era freight cars on the C&NW? https://www.flickr.com/photos/barrigerlibrary/12294845895/sizes/o/ I
