Not sure if it was posted yet as where you can purchase Albion Metals, but I have seen them at CRM Hobbies in St louis. CRM had them on display at the 2015 RPM meet in Collinsville

Re: seeking reference: original specs: USRA 50 ton SS boxcar
riverman_vt@...
Rod,
The best suggestion I can offer to you is to find a copy of the 1922 Car Builders Cyclopedia and invest in it. In doing so you will have drawings and specification for the USRA 40 ton double-sheathed boxcars, the 40 and 50 ton USRA single-sheathed cars that you seek, the 50 ton USRA all steel boxcar AND A BONUS in the CPR variation of the USRA single-sheathed car with the grain hopper that initiated your current research, I am fortunate to have eight Car Builders Cyclopedias spaced out from 1919 to 1961 and believe I would be absolutely lost without them. I would love to fill out what I have with one from 1925 or 1928 but expect one will be found sooner or later. I use them far more often than my half dozen Locobuilders Cycs. The Carbuilders Cycs. are worth their weight in gold, in my opinion, especially for the era that folks like you and I model. My best, Don Valentine

Stocklist??? Perhaps it is a Left Coast term, Tony, as I'd never heard it before either.

Hi Rob,

You asked about "original specifications", that could mean a lot of different things. TSC #9 "War and Standard Locomotives and Cars (1919)" has drawings for the underframe, side, end, and cross-section. Does that help any? Claus Schlund

Re: Albion alloys
Albion...another name for England.... The English and the Americans, people divided by a common language. Stockists are people who stock things and sell them there, just like suppliers supply things they warehouse here in the US. If someone from England comes round to knock you up about carriages, don't buy infant formula, just open the door and talk to them about [steam era on this list] rail cars. Sent from Dave Bott's iPad

Re: DT&I gon - a perspective
Schuyler Larrabee
I think this has been established but . . . Greg, you wrote:
and the cars were delivered in freight car red
But they were painted black later on, right? Has anybody established WHEN that color change happened?? And, if/when they were painted black, did the lettering remain the same, or was it changed?

Mark,
I need an extra set as wells so that makes six... LOL Not sure that will get the job done. We'll see what we can get done, Singer is a good dude and I might just have to pay for a piggy back on his next run.
My first car is awaiting decals. We had a little controversy over the original car color, some believed it to be Black and not freight car color like the 52'6" Greenville car. John Greedy did a little more research beyond what has been done and the cars were delivered in freight car red just as Mont and I had painted our. Whew!
I still have to reproduce a maters for the car end as I had promised..., "all in good time my little pretty..."

Eventually all things merge into one and a river runs through it.
