The N&W cars were 49200-49299, class B2 built by Magor in 1936. You also could conside the DT&I series 12000-12399(Greenville 1937) or if you model the 1960's these cars were sold to the NP as

Guys, The National Archive collection is very wide ranging in terms of dates. There are a lot of pre 1900 shots, especially of passenger cars. I recall one box contained dozens of LS&MS truss

David Turner wrote: That was the standard design at the time, although 40-ft. cars were more common. The company name, incidentally, was Rodgers, not Rogers, as Jack spelled it. It's interesting

Back in November, Jack Burgess inquired about some 36 foot, 40 ton, wooden Hart Convertible Ballast cars with both side and bottom dump doors that the Yosemite Valley RR owned. (See his detailed

About what range of dates do these photos cover? Cyril Durrenberger

Jason, another possibility you should consider is one of the Red Caboose 42' flat cars, which - though most of the multitude of RC P/L schemes are bogus - are dead-on accurate for the NYC lot

Thank you for the information on the flats and the boxes.  I was going to add a couple of PRR FM flats to the roster for some mine machinery and some lumber but might need to rethink that.   Jason

Group I would as usual need help with this brass car. I'm looking for pictures of the x-31-b cars in either N&W or Wabash or a number series for either road. PRR could be a option but for me PRR is

Jason, The X31B cars were either be in assigned service for autoparts, or in general service. In 1942, the car would likely have been labeled "AUTOMOBILES" regardless, but would not have had the

Does anyone have an up-to-date list of the Merreles (sp?) photo collection at the Nat'l Archives of Canada. I had one from Richard Burg years ago but cannot find it and I have to believe some

I model a small Utah branchline set in 1942 and I am trying to get an idea if I should have 50' flat cars and automobile boxcars in my freight car fleet. I assume a lot of the larger 50' flats were

I just saw Frank at O Scale West last weekend. He has moved to Georgetown Texas. Gene Deimling

The name of the film is "Sundown Limited" by Hal Roach. Did you see this film as a kid Larry or were you in it? Ed

circa 1930 with the kids inadvertantly starting an ATSF loco and their adventures. Plenty of steam, lots of trackage, some freight. Worth a watch. Great mines think alike. I think I saw this film

I met Stan Grace, the last owner of Grace Tank Car Lines, and copied his photo album. The cars you list are not in the album. As the cars owned by Grace were mostly used/rebuilt cars it is not safe

Steve, I found the photo folder, but it was empty! regards, Andy Miller
