Tim O'Connor says: Perhaps in matters not associated with frt cars but I will say that my knowledge...or interest...regarding frt cars after 1960 is nil. Yes, some will say that my knowledge about

Tim, There IS a difference between being on topic for the list but in a narrow time frame and being outside the period of the list and off- topic ;^) That said there were auto racks on flat cars

It has been brought up that the Sunshine version of this car may not be the best choice to copy. Yesterday I put the Accurail underframe I was going to use along side the Sunshine underframe to check

UP freight cars post-1951 have been poorly covered in books & magazines unfortunately. I can surmise from scattered data that UP 506000-506114 were renumbered from A-50-21 or A-50-22 automobile box

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE There wasn't a single "flat" car, on the PRR. Most of them were actually bent, bowed, had holes in them, either by design or by use... Elden Gatwood

Rob, UP 101600 - 105099 are, indeed, class B-50-41. The other two UP series post-date the research material I have available. Regards, -Jeff Sent: Thursday, June 30,

Ya know, folks, SOME of the people on this list cut off before 1920, but I don't hear them feigning ignorance when people talk about Dulux paints, diesels, World War II, and all of the other things

Tim In the universe I live in the odd sounding contraption you are referring to does not exist. Maybe in the future... Bill Welch

Actually this is one of several conventional PS-1 sill shapes, and has been produced by Kadee: http://www.kadee.com/ca/50ps1/jpg/6727l.jpg You can add small strip styrene to the underside showing

They don't exist in this timeframe, so there's no contradiction. 8^) Thanks! -- Brian P. Ehni From: Tim O'Connor <timboconnor@...> Reply-To: STMFC List <STMFC@...> Date:

Bill So fully enclosed autoracks never struck you as funny looking flat cars? :-) Tim O'

Dennis, this looks like a fairly straightforward build on a Kadee or IM car...anything odd about the ends I can't see? -- Craig Zeni - "Bother", said Pooh, as he chambered another round...

Tim, Dwight was a member of NSMRRC before he decided that he preferred to play with full size trains. But that's 25 years ago, at least. SGL Thanks George! I thought it might be something

Randy, The obvious answer is the correct one: put the photos in the PHOTOS section of the Yahoo!Group. The reason is that we have TONS of space in the PHOTOS section, but a more

That's OK, 'cause it sounds like Tom came up with a better photo than I did. Last things first. After more than fifty years of maintaining its three US subsidiaries as more or less separate

oops sorry that was meant to go off-list to Dennis Storzek. Tim O'

Thanks George! I thought it might be something like that (because of the location) but I'd never heard of Mr. Smith before. Tim O'Connor

Tim,  I don't think this is one of the DSS&A 50' double door cars. They had low mounted tack boards, 4 rivets on the side sill at the bolster, and the angle of the side sill is too steep.  The

I doubt it's a shortline's boxcar. Looks like a USRA single-sheath in MofW service. The caption says North Conway, NH in 1974, where the B&M dead-ended into the MEC's Mountain Division. Did either

Dennis, since you are the SOO go-to guy :-) I just noticed this SOO box car in this photo with a black end. But I have no info on any such SOO box car. Could this be an ex-DSS&A 50 foot double
