In the catalog they're announced. The closest I can find for CPR is the Dominion Express Reefers that are 45'. Refer to readytrain's scratchbuilt models of them.

Where did you see the announcement Marc? Was there a photo? Rob

I see that Bachmann has announced a 50' wood express reefer in CP, NYC, PFE and REA schemes. Does anyone know if these are based on a specific prototype? I'm curioius what the wheelbase on the

Yes, the x 29 or 1923 ARA would be a good next step. Let's hope Pierre's idea catches on.-- Fenton Wells 250 Frye Rd Pinehurst NC 28374 910-420-8106 srrfan1401@...

Canada remained the primary source of newsprint in North America into this century. So yes, almost every city or printing plant received Canadian box cars. Conrail in the

Thomas, Thank you for sharing your research and bringing the subject of pulp to hobbyists' attention. Here's some quick comparative statistics to help put this CND-US traffic into perspective:

Why is it anyone's calling it a "Cambre" roof anyhow? When it first appeared in the 1916 CBC, and through the '31 edition at least, Hutchins called their radial roof offering a "Camber All-Steel"
