The "C.S." stands for cast steel, which describes most trucks. I've felt these are late versions of Bettendorf T Section trucks, where instead of the upper chords terminating at the upper inboard

Could be Cast Steel, also. Could the be, literally, Bettendorf trucks with Simplex bolsters. Steve Hile

Bill and Paul, The side frames are "C.S. Integral Box" design, or so says the data on these cars in Million and Paton's PERE MARQUETTE REVENUE FREIGHT CARS. I presume that

Bill Thank you I have not seen any like them but no doubt someone will recognise them. Paul Doggett

Some form of T-section I think. My model is not that car as that car has Hutchins ends. It merely illustrates the scheme I will use. My model will have USRA Andrews from Tahoe. Bill Welch

FYI just in case, but Great Decals has decals for these cars: https://www.greatdecals.com/ scroll down to about mid page. Curt Fortenberry PS: I did the artwork and he printed them.

Hello Everyone, The 26th Chicago RPM is coming up 10/24 through the 26th. Hard to believe this show has been going for 26 years and started when the term "RPM" was unknown. I will again host an

Nice to see those ends become available but I'd be a lot more interested in seeing the Yuma Car & Foundry Seaboard Airline CLass B-3 boxcar offered in HO that they offer in TT and S gauge. Cordially,

Thanks guys! I've ordered a few sets. -Fritz Milhaupt Pere Marquette Historical Society

IIRC, Ld Limit was not a required stencil until 1925-26. The Wt stencil signified light weight but was not presented as Lt Wt until the about same time period. I’m not certain how the OR&W and W&W
