Thanks very much, Ben. Unfortunately that is not the piece I was refering to, but it is of interest enough that I have printed and filed it. What is nagging me is that I thought I had printed off

Hello folks, These cars look super and are just the ticket for me time-wise. The question that always troubles me with regard to C&O hoppers, however, is that with a number of file cabinets loaded

Hi All, Is someone looking for a USRA style triple hopper photo with clam shell center doors? Contact me off the list. Sincerely, Rich Yoder 7 Edgedale Court Wyomissing PA 19610-1913 Call between

I have a set of Resin coupler pockets (10 Total, 5 pair) that I picked up someplace along the line. I think they were a hand out. They are sized for Kadee 5 couplers from the look of them. I'll never

Ed, Richard, Tim and Ben thanks for the information. The trucks seemed to vary slightly as I have seen two different bolster configurations. Does anyone know if the Morton RB's were painted ?

Roger, Please contact me off list. Thank you, Greg Martin Eventually all things merge into one and a river runs through it. Norman Maclean

Agreed; very helpful.  We are fortunate to have access to Mr. Hendrickson and other very knowledgeable folks willing to share the fruits of their hard work and long experience.  Thanks much.

I am sending Richard the photo I have of A&EC 1019, which definitely has the open bolster ends. Clearly these cars had more than one type of truck by the 1950's! Tim O'Connor

There is a mistake in this document. The truck labeled "Walthers Proto 2000 Spring Plankless" is not the P2K truck. It looks like the old Walthers truck, which in turn I think is a 1-piece version

Brian, I have the Joe Collias photo on which that model was based, and I'm sending you a scan off-list. On the basis of that photo, I don't agree with Tim O'Connor's truck recommendation, as the

Brian, According to photos with reweigh stencil dates of 2-3/1954 the A&EC received 100 ex-Southern 1937 AAR box cars with a mix of square-corner and round-corner ends in series 1000-1099.

Don, You are wrong in your supposition. Following up on what Ben has said, the car (definitely an X25) in the photos is clearly sporting patch panels. That is not a "crease". Careful examination

Tom, it looks pretty scrambled to me! I used to use the Yahoo browser interface at work, but I guess I won't ever use it again for replies. Tim O'Connor pages.) Another double line break now<>

Tahoe ARA Buckeye is the closest in appearance to A&EC prototype. Appears to be a Miner handbrake but I'm not certain of that. Tim O'Connor

My cleanup continues and I find this old IMWX kit on the shelf. Atlantic & east Carolina 1038. A little research revealed these were Ex Southern Cars received in 1953-1954 (online sources differ)
