Re: Helium Cars
Bruce, thanks for the info on the HO PRB car.
I have the O scale PRB car. The tanks on it are
separate pieces, and IMHO it is a nice model. Very
heavy BTW which I attribute to all those

Re: Helium Cars
Rod,
No offense to you or the person selling this car, but the Pecos River car
is just AWFUL! A close look will show you that the tanks are a single
stamping. Heck, the Ambroid car looks better!

Re: Wabash hoppers...
Matt,
As built photos of hopper cars from 1912 display Wabash in 18"
letters. According to the WRHS these were changed to 33" letters in
April, 1955.

Don't know if there are any "Wabash Gurus" in the Group, but was
curious if anyone had any info on Wabash hopper lettering.
In what year did the WAB go to the jumbo W A B A S H on the side

Re: Helium Cars
The last word I heard, Speedwich was going to offer these once the masters were made. Jay Miller was spearheading the project and had a quality clinic about them at the Santa Fe convention in 2007.

Richard -
Thanks very much! If they were around in the 1930's and during WWII,
I am going to assume they are good for me. I cannot identify them
from the photo, either. Unfortunately, they are

"... but it's long hual to northwest Canada for most of us."
Agreed. However, "northwest Canada" i.e. the Yukon territory beside Alaska, is about 2500 miles from where these archives are
