I'd like to see some SP G-50-9's, 10, 11, or 12 and G-50-3's or G-50-8's along with the previously mentioned SP F50-1,2,3s. Gary Ray _______________________________________ No viruses found in

Hear, hear!!! Actually, if there were a good set of scale drawings, I would be able to scratchbuild a few. Freight cars are so much less scary now that we have Archer rivets... :-) Tim O'Connor

Dave, I think that the majority of Milwaukee Road hoppers at that time were CTSE cars. I vaguely recall an article in the MRHS magazine about coal operations on the CTSE which were not staged out

I want/need two CNW stack cars. That's it. Clark Propst

Yes, the B&O owned very a similar boxcab; only one as I recall. I believe each locomotive was custom built during this period. On the same site there is a link to the locomotives used by the B&O

And until 1950, BR&P and later B&O hopper cars appeared in Eastern Ontario carrying loco coal for the GTR and later CN. They were ferried across Lake Ontario from near Rochester, NY to Cobourg,

Actually, after WWI, typically 60 percent of C&O and N&Ws coal went WEST . . . . not to Tidewater. Not unusual to see iron ore coming back EAST-erly in coal cars from the Great Lakes with their own

To which I will add that UP had a bunch of them as well, and on both RRs they lasted a long time in revenue service. Richard Hendrickson

Ben, Had a CRS moment and completely forgot about the F&C H25. Mea Culpa. Rich Orr

My recollections of Southern Railway trains on the Atlanta-Washington mainline do not agree, at least not toward the end of the period covered by this list. I remember seeing many B&O, PRR, CRR, C&O,

Andy,? I am compelled to take a different position.? While the bulk of hoppers were captive, photographic evidence abounds supporting foreign road hoppers on major coal hauling roads.? An extreme

While I model the Pennsy, it is impossible to do so without significant numbers of B&O, N&W, C&O, C&I, RDG, LV, D&H, DL&W and even VGN hoppers.? All of which are missing from the scene -- at least

Neville, Thank you for the information. Just ordered the issue, $6 plus $3 shipping. The back issues of The Sentinel are not identified by date. Should anyone else here wish to order the issue, here

Andy, The exceptions are not insignificant. Referencing the Delano photo in my Dirty reefer post, I count at least 77 cars loaded with coal of some form. The sides are visible for about 80% of these

I would make a fleet of P.E. MOW cars. eric ************** Make your summer sizzle with fast and easy recipes for the grill. (http://food.aol.com/grilling?ncid=emlcntusfood00000005)

Hi Allen, Thanks to you, Richard Hendrickson and the rest of you guys for the fast, accurate responses. Yesterday I built up a "test car" for this SAL flat car project. I fashioned a crude rotating
