I have a photo of Georgia 19663 from Bob's with black ladders & background, doors and ends w/a reweigh of 6-45 Also GA 29345, another rebuilt type with Murphy paneled roof, 5 panels to each side

Dear Ben... The only car numbers visible were the Maine Central numbers. The B&O numbers were painted over in black paint and the MEC car number was applied over this black patch, so finding the

I was looking at an article in the July 1988 Mainline Modeler written by Mark Feddersen about his kitbash of GATX 25994. I am interested in tackling the same project. After some comparison with a

Ed, I have a 1938 shot of GA 19668 (reweigh stencil 4-1938) and it is most definitely a box car red car. When were the cars rebuilt? Tim O'Connor

Richard, There are flying pigs in Cincinnati (concrete ones all over the river walk areas). Crazy looking things! :) Cincinnati was known for its pork

Dear Group... I've gone through my files and here is what I found on the ex-B&O hoppers that the Maine Central picked up. Almost all had heavily rusted sides: CAR # Location

Bruce and Jack, I know I'm a little late to this party, but before responding I wanted to get some facts and figures together. I have come across just one photo of a GA USRA steel rebuild painted

sorry - I didn't express myself clearly. My thought was not that left-over USRA composite boxcars were sold to the CPR - as you say, Richard, there is no doubt the cars were built for the CPR new in

just fyi -- http://www.kadee.com/html/568.jpg I wish they'd done the 70 ton B-1, though! could use it on some gondolas and hoppers. Tim O'Connor

Tony, That's what I drew. Uhh, jacketed and insulated are more or less synonymous, right? I believe I've already mentioned this earlier but the tank car I drew was to be cut up for scrap to feed a

Thanks for the info Bruce. Guess the information in "Railway Prototype Cyclopedia on the aluminum painted cars is bogus and the Tichy instruction sheet correct for circa 1950. Now I guess I have a
