Andy, Definitely military, but I'm not sure which branch. I seem to remember Richard Hendrickson coming up with a builder's photo of this class, and it was Army. But it may have been another car. I

Hate to disappoint you, Schuyler, but I believe the regular routing for these boilers from Schenectady to Bath, Me. was up the D&H to the Canadian Pacific, east to Brookport,PQ, then down the Newport

Garth- This car you pictured seems to have maybe been a 8-9 foot door car converted to a single 6' door car. Look at the L side has 6 panels while the right side has 7. The lower door track extends

Yes, that is what I remember. Is the car pictured a former Navy car? Did many former Navy cars go into private RR's revenue use? -Andy Carlson Ojai CA Andy, Are you thinking of

Forwarding to the STMFC list as I have only 9 attendee responses. Steve, I'm including you directly given your io issues. John John Barry ATSF North Bay Lines Golden Gates & Fast Freights

Andy, Are you thinking of something like this? Shenandoah Valley MW boxcar, still in service out of Staunton, Virginia. Yours Aye, Garth Groff 🦆

Elden, The Southern had some special flat cars with a sort of table that was rotated up at an angle using hydraulic pistons. Like your G26S, these were used for pre-assembled turnouts, but I suppose

The message arrived in my inbox yesterday afternoon at 1:30pm, though it was sent on April 4th when the list were having a discussion about the rerelease of the Rapido meat reefer I assumed Steve

Hello Steve, I am in a similar situation from time to time, as it was the case with exactly that Email. I got it yesterday. Please have a look at the exact date: -it has been sent FIFTEEN DAYS ago!

Here’s another PRR diagonal loader, the ex-PRR (now CR) G36H. Also, one of my favorites, the PRR’s F25E. To get every inch out of this well car, they removed the original floor supports and

I am currently getting my groups.io emails with a delay of 12 or more hours. This one wasn't received here until 3:04 AM today. By 1950 in the ORER, the 3300 series reefers extend from 3300 - 5199

I got it. I took a height measurement of the item and it was about 19' above the railhead stood straight up. Diagonal loading sounds like the best bet. Thanks, Randy

Hello folks- I have 2 new Sunshine HO resin kits which I am offering for sale. These are new, unbuilt. Free Shipping 1) Sunshine #36.1 ACF 8,000 gal. Insulated Tankcar Shippers Car Line $55 2)

If you were shipping it on the ERIE, you’d have a chance, but even so that’s pretty wide. The ERIE was originally built to 6’-0” gauge, so the clearances were set early on very wide.

John is correct. I modified a Chooch boiler by taking a slice out of the center and adding a wrapper, rivets, tie down points, loading pads, and created an "AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVE Co." decal for it. I

Hudson; Yes. This is another diagonal loader on the PRR, this one a MW version, the PRR G26S, converted from a standard G26. The G26 was a 65-footer, so it was specifically converted to

Yes, that is the kit I was thinking of. Andy Cich

Andy, folks, This Sunshine kit? 😉 (F10 Ship Plate Loads) Regards Bruce

This looks like a variation of the type of load modeled by a Sunshine kit. I’m not sure who the model builder is for the photos I attached. I’m sure I saved them from one of the email lists.

This is also how the RRs ship prefabbed switches. -Hudson
