Good to hear they were around in 1953. The decals for tank capacity are wrong – A 3227 and B 3198. I may be able to piece the correct numbers from other numbers on the decal sheet if it comes to

I can’t help with how the car was lettered, but for what it’s worth, GATX 1638 appears in the 1955 Tank Car Capacities Tariff – capacities are given as 3928 gallons/compartment, total 7856

Thanks for dating the photo. Yes, earlier, circa 1953. Decals support reporting marks with and without lines, and I’m guessing that late 1940s repaints would not have lines – is that correct?

That thought had occurred to me – just model what you see, weathering and all. The uncertainty is on the side and ends I can’t see. Nelson Moyer

The Soo Line RBL in the background is in the paint scheme in use in the mid sixties (I'm not near my research material or I'd look up the built date). I suspect Nelson wants his model to represent the

As I remember it, Sea Train got its start (about 100 years ago) by shipping railcars (mainly between USA and Cuba) and their original ships were specially built cargo ships where the rail cars were

Funny, I just spotted the C&O Deco end car. I already have 6 of them or I would bid on it. Dave Wetterstroem

Over the next few weeks I’ll be listing several HO freight cars on eBay. Just too many cars on the layout for a obscure Missouri branchline. Search for ‘cduckworth’ as the seller if

Folks, I was watching a TV program that included an old newsreel segment of a box car being loaded into the hold of a cargo ship. The program, History Channel's new series about the Bermuda Triangle,

One of my favorite photos from WWII is my dad standing in line to get on a Pullman troop sleeper which was taking him from Wendover, Utah to the west coast to get on the Cape Victory to take him to

Sorry. I do know when WWII ended. I wrongly assumed everyone would understand I was speaking of the past. Another example of why “write so as not to be misunderstood” is good advice. Sorry
