Thanks for the answer, Ian. The photo in Canadian Railway & Marine World, January 1917 issue, shows a build date of November 1916 for this car. Frank Valoczy Vancouver, BC Frank Valoczy Vancouver,

It did. When the Canadian Northern system (including the DW&P) was amalgamated with others to form the Canadian National Railways in 1918, the new system moved to rationalize the numbering systems

Alan; I am in the middle of a PS-5 bash, and found when looking at photos that PS-5's seem to have varied a lot, depending on built dates and customer preferences, so some have a side very much

There was an ad in the 1961 Car Builders' Cyclopedia with a drawing of the side and end of a PS-5. No underframe drawing and not the usual CBC detail type drawing. Many years ago National Car Cast of

Did DW&P freight cars ever undergo a renumbering? I found a builder's photo of DW&P 30426, a 36' double-sheathed truss-rod boxcar built in November, 1916, and am wondering if this might not later have

U-Bolts were used where the pipe runs directly along side a surface. A Pipe Clamp and "Standoff" is used where support is not adjacent to the pipe. Pipe Clamps and Standoffs are a welded assembly with

Utah Pacific GE lift rings are small. Another use would be fine soft brass wire and just wrap through one hole capturing the pipe... I have peeked under the skirts of many boxcars and air line pipes

OK - thanks for that. I used the word in conversation last weekend with a friend and got a strange look, so thought there must be a disconnect... Rob

I'm not sure what lift ring product you have in mind Andy. Would it have the appearance of the prototype? If not, why use such a part with a fine scale detail part? Rob

Looking closely at the new Hi-Tech air brake hose, I don't see a need for the PSC airhose bracket. The Hi-Tech part has a length of train air line of about 26 inches molded as part of the hose, and

I have received a large order of rubber HO freight car hoses from Hi-Tech models, # 6036. There are 5 pairs of hoses per package, enough for 5 freight cars. I am offering these for sale for $4.00

Mr. Green, I haven't seen the cars "in the flesh", but if the photos of the car on John Golden PBase page are any indication, I won't be getting rid of my Sunshine cars anytime soon. I just think

Hi All, This came up recently on the Rutland list and I am looking for more information. Does anyone know of photos or plans or even a kit of the Pullman Standard PS-5 Gondola. I am looking to build

Intermountain is now advertising two GN plywood panel boxcars. No. 46051 BLT 9-45 is labeled "original" & is green with orange sides. No. 46052 BLT 9-45 labeled "mineral red" is apparently all box car

Unfortunately, sometimes Yahoo's archive system cannot find message posts on various topics. More than a few times I've searched for items I know were discussed on this and other groups and they
