Thanks, I assumed as such but just checking. -- Charlie Duckworth Omaha, Ne.

To add to Todd's comments, the Milwaukee used trackage rights on the PCRR from Maple Valley through Renton (think Boeing and PC&F) to reach Black River Junction and strung catenary. So at one time I

I have 18 different photos of Frisco stock cars, ranging in dates from 1904 to 1956. None have yellow doors. Ray Breyer Elgin, IL

Pacific Coast gons were around in numbers in the mid 60's. I have several photos from my Navy days ion the Seattle area. Merged in the the BN merger. Howard Garner

Colin and David, Thanks for the suggestions.  I could not find that IC car (by that number at least) in either my 1943 or 1953 ORERs.  I found lots of GS and GB IC cars but no GRA.  The IC car

On a side note, I noticed an ad in that same listing for an N scale 1962 Turbo Encabulator. Also available in HO. Sorry, I can't help it, being an Engineer, things like that are too funny to pass

In a 1917 ORER, T&NO 40900-40999 are listed as both MWB and HD – Gond. Convertible St’l In fact, here is the next slide in the deck Steve Hile

I wonder if the PGE modified the cars to give the hoper bottoms in place of side dump doors.

Richard, The Pacific Coast Railroad (different from the 3' n.g. PC Rys of Calif and Wash) was a steam powered short line just south of Seattle that hauled coal from a few mines in the western slopes

Illinois Central 122038 is a likely candidate. David Thompson

That's an interesting gondola Greg. The Pre-Depression Era Railroad Modellers on FB might be able to help you on this one. Colin Meikle

There are not one, but two versions of this crankshaft available in HO. There is the AMB Laserkit version already mentioned and this one, from Bitter Creek Models.
