Re: UP and subisderary lines

But new equipment continued to be delivered with OSL, and OWR&N reporting marks for some time after 1936. And cars were repainted with these marks as late as 1956 and perhaps later. Any idea

References regarding tariffs

Hi all, I have an ERIE publication, part of a training course for men who were going into the world of traffic tariffs. It's dated September 1, 1947. Does anyone know what "the Hill book" might

Re: UP and subisderary lines

True, but it should be added that all were controlled by the UP before 1936 and in the 1920s through '40s all of their freight cars were folded into the UP's ORER entries, though with separate

old AHM welded tankcar

A while back I picked up an old AHM tankcar that seems to represent a post-1950 design of ICC105 tank. Welded tank body, very rounded ends, pressure bonnet (so yes, it's an ICC105), and a full frame

pencil weathering

This sounds great. How about an article with photos in one of the modeling magazines? The classic article in RMC about weathering freight cars with oil paints was weak on weathering wood side

Kurt, Your statement above is not correct. MP's 40' AAR box cars built 1955-1959 all had 8' door openings. MoPac's 40' AAR box cars built 1950-1954 all had 6' door openings. MoPac had no 40' AAR

Are NG couplers the same size as Sandard Gauge?

I'm modeling a (mythical but plausible) NG line circa 1940. Would the couplers have been identical to standard gauge ones? TIA Norm

Kurt, The 19000-19999 series cars were built late 1952 to early 1953. I-GN was assigned 19000-19499 and StLB&M got 19500-19999. All cars were built by MP at their DeSoto, Mo. shops. The cars had

I know Sunshine made a mini-kit that served as a door prize at Naperville a few years ago. If I recall, it was for a IGN 10-6 car, and included the parts needed to modify an InterMountain 10-6
