Thank you, Elden. Many of the improvements to my modeling (still a ways to go) are a result of reading posts on this site. I'm finding satisfaction in making and installing loads in cars. I have a

Of course I am if you look at it that way. What I was looking for and have received is a couple or useful responses from people with some direct knowledge of D&RGW equipment who contacted me off

Tim, Then usual rodding to the hand brake must have interfered with truck swing where it passed over the B-end truck. Yours Aye, Garth Groff 🦆

RJ, I found no indication in Tony's book that the stock cars had the tight-curve brakes. There were only 10 cars, PE 8500-8509. These were class S-40-4 built in 1914, which is about 10 years before

Garth Excellent photos thank you. I have only a photo of 00119 from the OTHER side ! :-D And 00119 has AB brakes! So evidently this problem was entirely

Tim, Interesting question. Tony would be the one to comment on that. Most of the surviving PE cars were transferred to the SP circa 1951-1952, and any that were worthy of continued service would have

Johannes, Were you aware that Funero & Camerlengo have kits for carbon black cars? See http://fandckits.com/HOFreight/6310.html Yours Aye, Garth Gorff 🦆

I was really into the PE in the early 1970's (having been born in SoCal), Let me see if I can find my ETT from the 1930's that contained the restrictions. I also purchased photos form the Huntington

Garth, I wonder if that rigging (ref for the 1,300-1,900 #'s?) disappeared on cars that received AB brakes. Any idea? Every single PE freight car photo I've seen is the right

Here’s the Soo version of this truck and the major car type with which it was used. These Soo cars were discussed by Ted Cullotta in his Essential Freight Car series. 1000 of these cars were built

I forgot to include this photo of a JMHX 3600 cuft rebuild. All of the JMHX 3000 cuft cars were rebuilt as 3600 cuft between 1959 and 1963. -- Tim O'Connor Sterling,

From the many photos I have seen over the years, there are enormous variations in capacities. The users had varied needs, so did the tank cars. I like the cars that had the tank capacities

I think all of the models (brass - resin - plastic) represent one design - I am not certain which one! It's either the 2850 cuft or the 3000 cuft car. But it's not the 3480 cuft

Fenton- Yes, but I have no way to shrink them about 55 percent to N Scale!!! Charlie

Guys; I measured the OVL tank cars back in ~2009, and put this in my tank car presentation to the WPM. Builder & Type Frame Length over run Boards Truck Center Tank Length (O/L) Tank

I may be wrong (and often are) but I think the Cabot car is closest to your time frame needs (car is stenciled "NEW 8-49"). These cars are still used to haul carbon black from the refineries along
