I wonder how many cases of Ruppert disappeared that day? I’d wager a LOT OF THEM! Schuyler

Thanks Ed. Tim do you need to see a photo of the Southern with a 6 foot door? We might make a few mistakes but not a 6 foot door mistake. Also ORER’s information is dependent on the actual RRs

Tim, For about 7 years the ORER listed Southern’s quantity of 50 lot 5919-A PS-1 box cars (26487-26527, 262050-262055, 307023-327024, 330500) erroneously grouped with other box cars having 8’

If I follow your numbers correctly, I’d suggest that the railroad rebuilt the cars from 6’ doors to 8’ doors. Schuyler

Ah! Thanks Sam, I didn't know that. That's good. Too bad about the 10 foot cars though. :'( Tim -- Tim O'Connor Sterling, Massachusetts

Very interesting Gary! The 1950 ORER shows 262040-262055 with 8 foot doors. (16 cars) The 1953 ORER shows 262040-262059 with 8 foot doors. (16 cars) The 1955 ORER shows

According to Southern Railroad boxcar diagrams, Southern (CNO&TP) car numbers 262050 - 262055 had 6 ft. doors. Gary Bechdol Stone Mountain, Ga

Garth ?? Southern (CNO&TP) 262053 had 8 foot doors. Did Kadee make a mistake?? I see that Ed Hawkins' spreadsheet may also be mistaken. The 1953 ORER

Tim, we already are doing both the 6 and 7 foot door cars. As I mentioned we are only “considering” the 8 foot door cars. I really doubt that we’d consider the 10’ high cars as it would

Sam, Still hoping you will do the 50' Morton running board. I do appreciate the 40' Morton boards, and bought a mess to upgrade my WP cars. Yours Aye, Garth Groff 🦆

Sam I'm very surprised that you would consider 8 foot door cars, but not the 7 foot door cars. The New Haven had a large number of these cars - they would be

Thanks for the info, Garth! Elden Gatwood

Randy, much of the time for in service cars is a matter having “really good” photos that we can read all the small data and see the details of the car. There are many roads and paint schemes we

Great to hear Sam! While you look at that, you have also never done the CNJ/CRP scheme on the hoppers. It’s the correct version of that hopper, I can dig up road numbers from RPCyc later if that

Oops, I don’t know how my brain was going fast than my fingers. Chris the roofs cannot be made as a separate part. We might eventually do some of these cars as kits but not for a while. Because

Chris the roofs cannot be made as a separate part. We might eventually do some of these cars as kits but not for a while. Because of the virus we are actually we can’t even keep up with our present

There is a similar film showing harvesting of ice on Green Bay and transportation to ice house storage, for later use in rail and other industries. Don't think it could be done these days; many of
