I looked at the ARA lettering diagram presented in the 1931 CBC, but at that time the arrangement only included EW and EH, which are the width and height of the eaves, with a not explaining that if

In my experience, if you look at multiple ORERs over the years, the outside dimensions are often inconsistent, especially the various heights. I'm not really sure what changed -- conventions,

Thanks guys, but I’m still puzzled. Now it appears that I don’t understand the ORER. The ORER has a column labeled, “Dimensions – Outside – Height from rail – To Extreme Width”.

 Hi Josh and List Members, It is available in RTR form in N scale... https://www.ebay.com/itm/333667435813 This also provides one manufacturers interpretation of the color scheme. No

Is it the width at those heights? Rob

Victor asks: I know this has been covered in the past (I looked), but in the more recent time period has anyone come with a accurate car either RTR or as a kit, other than brass?

Mill gondolas had drop-door ends to haul loads that were longer than the car. These may extend onto another car with a bearing plate for the load to ride upon. The chains are a safety to keep the cars

Eastern seaboard models will do their XIH in HO too. Brian J. Carlson

well considering that it has an espee herald on the car, fair assumption that it is a t&no car ;-) mel perry

Jeff: The EXW is, as you say, the extreme width of the car. But EXH is not the highest point of the car, but rather the height at which the EXW occurs. EW and EH are the relevant dimensions at the

would anyone have a color photo of this car? ;-) thanks mel perry

Yes, check out the kits page for Yarmouth Models; you will need to scroll down a bit: http://www.yarmouthmodelworks.com/index.php/ResinModelKits/Index Jim Brewer

I can’t say anything about Star brand paint as I’ve never seen it or used it but I think you’re all wet when it comes to Tru-Color. As I’ve stated on this list before, I knew Accu-Paints

TJ’s Hobbies is Teresa Prantle and her family. Can’t remember her husbands name but from my experience I’d say they ship fairly quickly. YMMV Cordially, Don Valentine

Thanks for sharing, but I would prefer to see more steam era 40 ft. gons rather the mill and 50 ft. gons. I believe the 40 ft. cars were more common in the steam/transition era weren't they? Victor

The Northern Utah Division NMRA did a custom run of this paint scheme through Accurail a few years ago. Every once in a while they show up on ebay. One of these photos I've never seen before so I
