I don't have a date but here's a in service photo of Rutland 7999 Jeff Coleman

Hi Folks, Further to what I wrote for Bill Welch too late for me last evening, the color I have used for all Rutland house cars is Accu-paint AP-59, Iron Oxide. While I cannot find my Tru-Color

Brian, The trucks tooled by InterMountain for the ACF 70-ton covered hoppers are not National C-1. They are a relatively uncommon 70-ton AAR spring-plank design that I’ve only seen on L&N and NC&StL

According to the HO truck guide put together by Richard Hendrickson, Intermountain has a 70 ton National C-1 truck. They don’t list this as a separate model on their website but I think it is what

I was putting an order together when Stan passed away and I have been looking for a suitable core to use to create at least one of the NWX 1955 ""Renton rebuilds" but have yet to find anything closer

The original color? From the as-built appearance in the Teens? I doubt that. Let’s be careful with general statements. That’s how hobby myths are created, like all PRR freight cars are Tuscan

That's true Dennis but it's darn close to the original color that it was repainted with. I used to pass that car several times each Sat. and Sun while working for the Green Mountain Rwy. and/or

Bill, From what I have read on some of the Rutland sites, including RPI (NEB&W), they were painted Rutland Cherry Red, which is 50% Box Car Red and 50% Caboose Red Rich Christie

Could the Fox trucks just be shop trucks? They were pretty much gone by 1946, and were not being used in new construction. -Hudson

Bill, Will this attached photo help? Car was grounded by the Chester depot for many years. I shot this circa 2000. Yours Aye, Garth Groff 🦆

I would guess it is a in-plant car purchased secondhand from some dealer. The car doesn't have a pressed or fabricated end sill reinforcement, so it is likely from the 1903-early '04 production
