Ayuh, that B&M car looks wicked old - needs a rehab. Nice work on both cars! Todd Sullivan

Well, not really. I've got a IM 37 mod that decorated for Erie. I was going to make a CNW PS1 out of it, but don't know when I'll ever get to a swap meet to pickup a cheap donor car for the ends. This

I have but a single picture of a large class (over 1300 in 1953) of 40' steel gondolas rostered by the Wabash RR. The picture credits list this scene at a 1954 PRR wreck. I am hoping that someone on

This one arrived only 5 hours after it was sent. But I have yet to receive my own reply. Please don't discuss this issue on the list, as I don't like jailhouse food, but I have contacted Earthlink,

Garth, These are the cars ( Shenandoah Valley MW boxcar ) that were out in Inyokern. 3 of them. I took quite a few slides and prints of them but would need to dig them out and scan them. One had

Andy, Definitely military, but I'm not sure which branch. I seem to remember Richard Hendrickson coming up with a builder's photo of this class, and it was Army. But it may have been another car. I

Hate to disappoint you, Schuyler, but I believe the regular routing for these boilers from Schenectady to Bath, Me. was up the D&H to the Canadian Pacific, east to Brookport,PQ, then down the Newport

Garth- This car you pictured seems to have maybe been a 8-9 foot door car converted to a single 6' door car. Look at the L side has 6 panels while the right side has 7. The lower door track extends

Andy, Are you thinking of something like this? Shenandoah Valley MW boxcar, still in service out of Staunton, Virginia. Yours Aye, Garth Groff 🦆

Elden, The Southern had some special flat cars with a sort of table that was rotated up at an angle using hydraulic pistons. Like your G26S, these were used for pre-assembled turnouts, but I suppose

The message arrived in my inbox yesterday afternoon at 1:30pm, though it was sent on April 4th when the list were having a discussion about the rerelease of the Rapido meat reefer I assumed Steve

Hello Steve, I am in a similar situation from time to time, as it was the case with exactly that Email. I got it yesterday. Please have a look at the exact date: -it has been sent FIFTEEN DAYS ago!

Here’s another PRR diagonal loader, the ex-PRR (now CR) G36H. Also, one of my favorites, the PRR’s F25E. To get every inch out of this well car, they removed the original floor supports and

I am currently getting my groups.io emails with a delay of 12 or more hours. This one wasn't received here until 3:04 AM today. By 1950 in the ORER, the 3300 series reefers extend from 3300 - 5199

I got it. I took a height measurement of the item and it was about 19' above the railhead stood straight up. Diagonal loading sounds like the best bet. Thanks, Randy
