Good question. Photos of other CNW cars show defect car holders in the same place, so Ithink that's the best guess. The Gerstley collection shot of CNW 70351 shows astrange casting (?) on the right

I've acquired several pairs of Proto 2k B-1 National and 50-ton Plankless, did either of these serve a special purpose?

Drew – I’ve built dozens of them, mostly flat kits. In fact, theunibody kits used masters from the flat kits. So just look at the unibodyto determine how the flat castings were assembled. You

If one looks at photos of the CNW/CMO AAR recommended practice and related "11-panel" gondolas of 1945-1956, there is a distinctive detail at the lower right corner of the far left panel (adjacent to

Greetings, I asked Andrew Dahm at Westerfield for his experiences and he suggested I ask the groups. Background: I have numerous Westerfield 2400 and 7400 series hoppers as I model an anthracite

Tim, based on the stories I heard from a former ERIE/EL freight sales agent, those “three-star meals” generally involved four-star “beverages.” Plus a case or two to take

Thanks, Ben, good to know I am more than half right! But Larry surmised that the cars in question would have been “transferred to the C&O in Canada and brought south on C&O.“ Assuming

Schuyler Larrabee asked: "Larry, I have always been under the impression that the TH&B was owned by the NYC? Is that not correct? And if that’s so, does a TH&B car count as a 'Canadian Freight

I remember distinctly TH&B cars sitting at the International Nickle Company's plant in Huntington, WV in the 1950s. This seems logical as INCO was a Canadian firm. These cars probably were
