I'm looking for photos of the 42' flatcars owned by the AC&Y, numbered 175 to 194. Is there an accurate model of these cars in HO? Richard Townsend Lincoln City, OR

Tim, Any idea where and when this photo was taken? The car clearly has a worn NORTH AMERICAN logo, but freshly stenciled NWX 6834 as if it was part of the original series. If I had to guess, I would

Fenton, That's great! That's exactly the scheme I'm looking for. Regards, Bruce Bruce Smith Auburn, AL

I grew up along one of the C&NW suburban lines in Chicago during the fifties and sixties, and remember seeing the yellow and green reefers, sometimes seeing them with a suburban train passing on an

You are correct it is SRLX. I had sent a second message that corrected the typo. Blamed it on my mouse. As for the paint color… That has been bothering me since I pulled the slide out of the file

This is the only NWX photo I have from 1957, Al Chione but it is not the number series you are looking for. Hope it helps Fenton -- Fenton Wells 250 Frye Rd Pinehurst NC

Scott, For all the other NWX cars, the grey side scheme is perfect for my era (and I have at least one). However, for these specific cars, which are the SnT project car, that scheme is clearly not
