That is gorgeous. I've always admired the tooling of the Front Range dreadnaught ends - he must have
pantographed the real thing to do them that well. The bodies

Re: Cotton bales
I'm going to have to figure out how to make those as my area of the US did lots of cotton.

Re: inside running rail of the curve will be accompanied by an addition guard rail
Hello,
I believe from the photos they are "self guarding frogs", the guard rails are built into the frogs , not needing a separate guard rails.

Re: Intermountain underframes
I think this is another case of Intermountain quality going to hell in a handbasket.
It seems to me that the key factor was the closing of the Hong Kong factory a year or so ago.
I just got 6 PFE

A bit more information from a Railway Maintenance And Maintenance Cyclopedia (1929) is attached. There’s a couple more pages of detail, if you’re interested in various rules, practices and vendors

Re: inside running rail of the curve will be accompanied by an addition guard rail
A railroad wheel is solid, but with a slight slope so that the outside of the wheel is smaller in circumference than the inside by the flange. A tight corner like this pulls the wheel to the outside

I've seen that in other places. It was probably more common in this era just because there were more industry tracks with very sharp curves.
It stands to reason that the back of the wheel flange

Hi List Members,
Sometimes when I am looking at images of steam era freight cars on sharp curves, I will see that the inside running rail of the curve will be accompanied by an addition guard rail.

Hi List Members,
Can anyone say what the freight car on the LEFT side of this image is? It appears to carry the reporting marks ARC 5
