Norfolk and Western H2a split side triples

Photographs show 24589 (1/53), 25200 (5/53), and 28500 (5/56), so it is likely the N&W-built groups in 24561-25499 (1953) and 28500-29999 (1956). David Thompson

Re: Westerfield NB box car

Re: To quote Robert Duvall from "Apocalypse Now," . . .

Do you put the chain and rod from the hand brake on after you paint it so the chain doesn't get clogged up with paint? How do you glue back there? Scott McDonald

Re: Westerfield NB box car

Clark, To turn the car into the standard NYC car you’d need to replace the N&B’s 3-panel door with the reinforcement plate with the standard NYC three panel door or an appropriate NYC Youngstown

Re: Westerfield NB box car

Clark, Both the HC and the N&B were chiefly cement carriers, so having their cars on your Iowa railroad would be like sending the proverbial "coals to Newcastle". I won't say it couldn't happen, but
