Re: Munshaw Canada slide Canadian Pacific CPR dock yard scene
Glen,
That's a little too absolutist. In fact, the practice of treating with lime was not as widespread in the US as it was in Canada, where it was required, as has been noted earlier in this thread, and most US stock cars did not show this off white band. On the
Canadian stock cars in question the off-white was painted on the car. While it may, or may not, have been designed to "hide" the effects of lime treatment, it certainly wasn't caused by it. I will also remind you that typically, the inside of the car was the
concern, not the outside, and so profligate use of lime so that it coated the exterior bottom half of the car would have been grossly wasteful.
Regards,
Bruce Smith

The bottom of stock card is treated by lime when cleaning so the colour disappears very quickly and becomes a chalky white colour

Hi, I cannot recall the type of trucks that are on this car. Can anyone provide that information and, OBTW does anyone make this truck in HO? (I'm wondering if it was made by Red Ball or Cape Line at one time.) Thank You Mike Bradley Sharpsville, PA

Re: AAR 40' Boxcar ID
Ed has produced MANY box car rosters so the one that you want is Ed's compilation of AAR Postwar R+3-4 IDN (1948-1954) tabloid format, or Excel spreadsheet format. Modelers and railfans love to make lists and tables! :-) I just checked and I have 1,338 PDF files and 167 Excel spreadsheets in my data folder. :-D The PRR X43B is perfect for the first car, 7ft door 10p DP roof R+3/4 On 8/4/2022 6:30 PM, Gary McMills wrote:

AAR 40' Boxcar ID
Gary McMills
Hi All, I recently pickup some HO scale C&BT 1944 AAR 40' Boxcar kits at an estate sale and I am at a loss for identifying which railroad(s) owned them. They are one with a 7' door and 10 panel sides with Angle roof and 4-3-1 ends. Also a 7'door 12 panel sides with a flat roof and is Tuscan red (perhaps PRR?) and a 8' door 12 panel sides car , 10 panel sides, flat roof, and 4-3-1 ends. I have Ed Hawkins Steam Era Freight car list but I am still having difficulties ID ing these cars. I would like to find the prototype railroad for these cars. They are undecorated. thanks, Gary McMills Vicksburg,Miss.

1939 timetable. I don’t have a more recent one without doing some digging. The picture must be 1951 given the combination of a red-white-blue boxcar and steam.

Bob, perhaps you should read my post again. I wrote; You wrote; "Other than the blocking the crawlers don’t seem to be secured by and cables or chains." I responded by writing; "The blocking on the dozers featured within the photo is spot on for the period...chocked only...NO chain, NO cable or wire." Again, chain was not used at all to secure loads (other than logs) and cable was used for a minimum of applications during the time frame of this list. The requirements for securing crawler type tractors didn't include wire securement until the revisions issued (via supplement) in May of 1947. You see, I am quite aware that wire was used to secure open top loads prior to 1961.

Northeastern Scale Lumber Siding
Ray Hutchison
I was looking to order Northeastern Scale Lumber HO car siding from our local hobby shop, but was not able to locate specific information at the Northeastern website. I am hoping that someone would be able to send along information as to stock number of this (usual packet is two pieces I think 6" x 2').

Cool. What year is that timetable for ? I think the trip is much shorter for birds. But I could beat the train on my bicycle. :-D On 8/4/2022 9:41 AM, Rich Gibson via groups.io wrote:
