It's what amounts to a covered hopper, converted from a tank car by adding slope sheets internally, bottom discharge gates, and hatches on top. Used for hauling roofing gravel. I have a copy of a

Hello everyone, I'm making a shopping list of detail parts to model a pair of Erie 1958 cu ft covered hoppers, using Bowser 55600 kits as the basis. From what I can tell, these cars were part of

No. As Bruce Smith posted, most were single compartment 8K and 10K gal. cars (the Sunset models were 8K). The Champ Mid-Continent D-X set is good for the late steam era. Other owners included Gulf

I just posted a picture of a Barrett tankcar taken in 1961. It surely is an odd duck. This crop of a larger photo is the best I can do at present. Would anyone out there have any information on this

Re:Roller Bearing Models. As some of you may have noticed, RBM advertized in the last RMC. Speifically the LHR/CNJ ore cars. I have seen a built up model at Jerry Dziedzic's and it looks very nice.

Dean; I upgraded a Sunset single-dome "TM8" (Type 11) a while ago. I added styrene strip as an overlay to the poor-relief tank straps to make them stand out better; I added brake piping, and I

I have received more NYC information, especially from the west end (in particular the Toledo & Ohio Central and Zanesville & Western, and to a lesser extent the Big Four), on the PennsyWest list than
