Re: Missing Significant Frt Cars
I think the GATC 6-dome tanks would be good sellers -- they
went all over the country, and wore a number of paint schemes.

Re: Baltimore and Ohio hopper cars...
The B&O hopper car at North Conway, marked 829839, is a curious aberration.
During 1965-66, B&O leased some offset side twin hoppers from Maine Central, all painted in B&O Billboard lettering scheme.

My top 6 list
Speaking of missing significant cars I have a top 6 list of cars and 1 engine that would be great to have but is not available in HO-scale. And this list is not in any kind of order.
- Pennsylvania

M-15 coversions, was: M-53 ends
Some thoughts:
Chris Barkan termed the M-15 as the boxcar that would not die.
M-15 (wood) subclass to M-15k wagontop (1935-6) to M-15na (1955) to M-15pd. Three rebuildings.
Note that the M-15k

Re: Missing Significant Frt Cars
I would like a good (accurate) 2 ,3, or 6 dome tank
(injected). While I realize they were rare I think they
would sell. The manufacture (or importer) could paint
them with granny goose for all

Re: Tank car question
Is there any record out there as to how the prewar ACF Type 27 USQX cars were painted and lettered after they became USAX cars in the postwar era?

Nope. You can't make an H10 out of an H2a, if you could I'd already have a bunch of

the late '40s and early '50s. As for your color photo showing a

Re: MP hoppers California to West Virginia
From my observations in Lala land, I've seen high sided MP gondolas (usually singles) with coke but full strings of hoppers were coal.

Re: MP hoppers in California
The Kaiser steel plant in Fontana, CA, built during World War II,
consumed large quantities of coal. At first, the coal came from
Utah, mostly in UP, D&RGW hoppers, and UCR drop bottom gondolas
