Message 59648, of 31 Jan 2007. A bit hard to find, but it's the message I remember. Do today's messages add anything not in that one? I happily threw together, er, assembled, the ACL and GM&O ones. Don't remember why I didn't go for the CNW one -- maybe the LHS didn't have one or it wasn't out yet at the time I bought these. Anyway, I'm not here to build one of everything, I only need stuff that came to Kansas on the MoPac so probably the CNW would still be worthwhile. Ron Merrick

And no for MP. The T&P cars would not be quite right either, as the prototype was built 1925-28 and had Murphy ends.

Re: New Freight Car Model from Spring Mills Depot
Bob
From the spacing of the center sill beams, it appears to be a sliding center-sill (cushion underframe) box car -- so it seems likely to be a post-1960 box car.

SP Modoc Line Conductors train book 1936-37
sp1930s
Dear List,
I recently borrowed a SP Freight Conductor's Train Book from Tom Dill and want to share it. The conductor's name was Partridge, the location is on the S.P.'s Modoc Line mostly between Alturas and Wendel during 1936 and 1937. This is the line connecting S.P.'s Oregon operations to the Overland route at Fernley Nevada. This is the same conductor as the 1938 to 1939 book I added earlier. You can find it in the photo section at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/STMFC/photos/album/624993677/pic/list This is the last of the three books I had access to. If more become available I will add them. Enjoy Larry Castle - Seattle |

Add Georgia RR to the list of correct prototypes. ACL ordered 500 cars and diverted 100 cars of Lot 3618 to Georgia. The cars were built in September of 1951 to the ACL K-17 class specifications. Jerry Glow has a decal set too boot, albeit the cars were painted brown instead of black.

New Freight Car Model from Spring Mills Depot
rwitt_2000
Another "teaser" this time from Spring Mils Depot. I believe it will be
a freight car. I am not sure if it will be pre- or post-1960 era. I am unfamiliar with the brake cylinder as illustrated in the partial drawing posted on their web site: http://www.smd.cc/ "The time is near! SMD's very own first signature car is becoming a reality. Starting on 5/9/2011, we will be posting a new picture each day of our car that is currently on the way. Will you be able to tell what the car is from just one photo? Highly unlikely. We encourage you to visit our site each day to obtain a new clue as to what it might be. We can say the car has never been produced in brass, plastic, or resin before. We can say it will be available in HO scale and will be an RTR plastic car. Price is TBD. When the test shots of the car arrive (soon), we will post actual photos. The test shots of the car should be available for viewing at the next Great Scale Model Train Show in Timonium, MD on June 25-26, 2011. We aren't sure where our tables will be at the show as we don't know if the show will be in the Exhibition Hall or the Four H Building." Bob Witt |

I knew the ribs in the center area were different but I didn't have a clue about the ends. I can overlook a difference or two but the ends were the tipping point. So I'll dig out a tray of water and use the PRR decals. I do have several other PRR cars and I didn't want to overpower my roster with these speciality cars. Back in the 60's a similar mill gondola kit (wooden sticks mostly) was made by Regal Kits with the choice of several road name decals--PRR, Eric, MILW etc. which lead me to ponder the possibilities.

Caveats: NONE It is very good for the series P&WV had, 300 cars, numbers 7501-7799; 50-ton cars. In fact, this car has the (unusual) correct end. Equipco handbrakes on all. Be aware, P&WV mixed wood floors with steel floors, in the series. Check your ORERs. The cars also had odd stepped bottom end grabs, and some had yellow-painted grabs and stirrups. Match to a photo!
