As far as which roads handle the traffic in and out of the paper company, that's something Tim and I can discuss with our club. But Tim does stimulate a few thoughts that are pertinent to this list.

Peter, It depends... - what cars did the railroad have available in their fleet? - what were the specs of the bridge? (weight, length, width) Certainly, many railroads reused bridges and for smaller

There are two products that come to mind. first is "white liquor" the caustic liquid that breaks down the wood fibers to make the pulp and a by-product, "black liquor" which is the liquid separated

tank cars. I'm supposing there are some used in the pulp to paper process that would arrive in tank cars. What is known about that ? Malcolm, "Standard Tank Car Journeys" ca. 1931 notes the

First, my apology to the group for a big misstatement that should have been obvious to me and was based on a calculation error. 3700 cubic feet of paper at 60# / cu.ft. is 111 tons. If you had

Aha, Denny I see you are adding a new requirement to the sets of quality issues of trucks and wheelsets. ;-) Since I have no layout to make my stuff roll only endplay is what I am looking for. OTOH

Just a quick note to let members know there is a Bridge list at <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BridgeModeling>. Also, When moving bridges on rail cars in the steam era, was it more common to move

George and Tom, I wasn't there when the SP and UC planned and implemented the Agricultural Demonstration Trains; I can only repeat what Richard Orsi said in his book "Sunset Limited." This is from

All I can say is that with the Tank Cars book example, the GNRHS Reference Sheet and the general appearance of the car, it looks like an approx. 12000 gallon AC&F type 11 tank car. What it is - that

For those interested, here is some reproducible data on which I rely on selecting Reboxx replacement wheelsets for selected Accurail and Tahoe trucks. My goal is an amalgam of maximum rollability,

I had a boss one time who would say "We're not making it up, only reporting it." I was only passing on what I read in "Sunset Limited." Time stopped in November 1941 Walter M. Clark Pullman,

That's right, Tony. I want all the errors in my models to be there because I didn't execute something correctly, not because I made the wrong choice in some part. Time stopped in November

Ok Guys, You have me confused. Is it a 12,000 gallon type 11 car built by ACF? Or something else? Sincerely, Rich Yoder 7 Edgedale Court Wyomissing PA 19610-1913 610-678-2834 after 6:00PM est until
