Re: Spokane, Portland & Seattle box cars
No single-sheathed boxcars on the SP&S; it went directly from the 1918 USRA DS to steel boxcars in 1945. Even its MOW boxcars were DS trussrod boxcars from its parents GN and NP.

Spokane, Portland & Seattle box cars
Does anyone know if the SP&S ever had single-sheathed box cars? I have not been able to find other than double-sheathed wood box cars in my photo resources. I ask because Accurail is just releasing

Re: gondolas w/ cement cannisters
Tim - Unless you're doing a partial load you would never see them. If the air-activated containers it's 2 semicircles of wood per container. If rectangular ones it's just wood blocking appropriate

I have a Sunshine GATX Type 30 kit that has Clinton Company decals. The only photo I have shows K brakes. Does anyone know if these cars made it to the AB era?

Re: TLT Slab Side Hoppers
I think Don is confusing two different groups of CN covered hoppers. The 1948-built cars were a smaller two-bay 2000 cu. ft. design -- most were converted to open-top ballast hoppers in 1982, with
