Tim, Pacific Car & Foundry built 600 ice-bunker reefers in 1954 for ART that were leased to Armour with TRAX reporting marks and numbered 12000-12599. These cars were regularly loaded at Armour

Tim, Recall the overhead photo of MILW 21520 on page 55 of RP CYC Vol. 13. It had an Apex longitudinal running board and the latitudinals were wood. The 21520 was built in 7-44 while the #7065 photo

Dave Sunshine and Speedwitch now offer 50' resin kits, so that helps. And most 50' cars in your era were composite wood, and there are even more kits for that. The SP fleet of 50' steel cars in WWII

Tim, Excellant point on availability - over analysis is a risk - but the analysis shows that, for a WWII fleet, steel 50 foot box car models are a fleet "gap". Bowser has some of the PRR fleet

I have Undec ACF covered hoppers at $16.00 each, plus postage. -Andy Carlson Ojai CA ________________________________ To: Steam Freight Cars Group <STMFC@...> Sent: Tuesday, February

Might one of you fellow STMFC denizens know where I can obtain one of the new Intermountain 1958 cu ft Covered Hopper car kits. I urgently need an Undec version to facilitate completing a historical

Can you make out the car numbers on these? They are brand new, built by PC&F in 1956. I never heard of them before.. I don't think they are type RB because I can't find a listing for

Dennis: It's good to know these other distinctions because I hadn't noticed them myself. I have several of each of yours and Tichy's and I put down a lot of the differences in the models to just

Being loaded w/ paper bags. I kinda doubt this is a transcontinental shipment... http://search.tacomapubliclibrary.org/images2/15/t4/22389.jpg

I've been sifting through the 1,512 hits on "car". :-)

I now agree with Scott... the second car is -not- the same; but a look at 400% still shows the "weird ones" on MILW 7065... and I can't see any obvious planks. -------------------- Richard B

Hmmmm... I dunno. Some of the Milwaukee cars built during the war received wooden laterals, with Apex longitudinals. I wonder if this could be one of those?

I'm finding this subject very useful and I'm still fairly new at this but I thought I'd toss in my two cents; Like some others, I've prioritized my roster-biulding as follows; 1. First the home road

They also model different prototypes. The Tichy panel side cars have nice interiors, but because Tichy decided to re-use the programing for the side stakes, his kit models only the three original

How about this, shipping canned beer in a box car? http://search.tacomapubliclibrary.org/images2/95/t4/23063.jpg Tim O'

Let us know what you find out about "Turning Trix" cars into other prototypes! Scott Pitzer

Were these cars built in Seattle? Is that why there are so many in this shot? http://search.tacomapubliclibrary.org/images/dt6n.asp?un=37&pg=2&krequest=car&stemming=On&phonic=&fuzzy=&maxfiles=5000 Tim

OK kids, lets try "freight car" as a search term. Way cool!! Ed Edward Sutorik
