Re: Boiler Load On Flat Car
Bruce,
With your partial read on the # it has to be 907x5 which would make it a Ft-P. A 50 foot car built by AC&F in 1930. All ATSF revenue flats in 1945 were in the 9xxxx series with the Ft-P

Re: Early Mechanical Reefer: NPMX 500
There is an interior photo of this car that I thought was the Armour reefer. The last two initials "MX" and road number 500 make it the NP mechanical

Re: Steam Era Freight Cars Reference Manual
No, Volume 3 is the first new volume in 10 years. Of course we can hope that Ted has more in the pipeline. Personally I don't want them coming too fast, my Speedwitch expenses have gotten pretty

Re: Armour Refrigerator Cars
Actually it is not, as the ending initials are "MX" with RD# 500 and the Armour initials end with"AX" in the 12000 series. The photo is labeled PC&F.
Did this photo of a string of new MILW insulated

From all the discussions it appears that when modeling the Branchline Blueprint X43B boxcar kits we should leave the roof as comes with the kit and then weather the roof to represent asphaltum which

Re: Boiler Load On Flat Car
Bruce, the first digit is definitely a 9 -because that is the only
possibility for a Santa Fe flat car at this time.
So 907x5 means that it is anFt-P in series 90701-90850.These
were 50 foot flat

Re: Early Mechanical Reefer: NPMX 500
I agree that there was more than one of them. I used to see them occasionally in Portland OR on the NPTCo when I clerked there in 1961-62. One of my earliest kitbashes was modifying a Revell 40 ice

I don't know about this particular car, but the NP bought 25 cars NPMX501-525 that appear
to be more or less identical.
