My pleasure, Stic. No one does the G22B per se, it is up to you to dress it up like one! Here are the DB4 and HB1A containers. The Westy containers are HB1A and HB4. A nice shot in color, in SK

Is there a correct 100 ton truck available in HO? Bill Pardie Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

Here's the CNW stencil from 1929. Was for 3" letters so presumable for CAPY lettering and such. The CNW drew full size letters, 9", but only for the letters they needed, not a full alphabet. Curt

Thank you all! Much appreciate the information. And Elden, these photos are gold. I actually have a set of the Westerfield containers to build and would like to put them in a G22B, so no one will know

The Westerfield Data Sheet mentions the drop doors in the floor, and said that the G22 and G22B both had them. The kit floor had the drop doors molded in the closed position. I think the G22B class

Notice the boot scuff marks. This is a good detail for weathering Here is another example of scuff marks made by boots. https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2016873160/ Use the "View Larger" tab to

Guys; I believe PRR did a small number of G22B with mesh flooring to minimize the effects of cement build up, but they did not do this on most or all G22B. It is a cool look, but not necessary on

Stic; The G22 isn't a flat car, but the rest of what you mentioned seems like questions about the G22 gon, so here goes: Besides the trucks, which I know were upgraded, and the stencil indicating

Claus, I’ve never seen photographic confirmation of these openings. Elden does not mention them in the TKM (#6) article on these cars. I will note that my statement was a bit overly broad as the G22

Hi Bruce, Nelson, Stic, and List Members, I was under the impression that the G22b had openings in the gon floor to allow debris to fall to the tracks, making them more suitable for container

Stic, Correct. I believe that the only visible difference is are the 100 ton trucks on the G22B versus the 70 ton Crown trucks on the other subclasses, and, of course, the CAPY, LT WT, and LD LMT

The Westerfield kit builds either the G22 or G22B, but not the drop end G22A.Decals for both the G22 and G22B were in my kit. I’ll leave it to the PRR faithful to provide the differences, since my

Good morning smart freight car folk, I know we've had previous discussion on the PRR G22 flat cars, but I've been unable to find an answer to my question. Besides the trucks, which I know were

I admittedly haven't paid much attention. But... The Pullman library has complete sets of lettering or stenciling drawings for a lot of cars from 1890s on. As does the acf collection in st Louis. I

Charlie: I would be as happy as anybody to see a complete character set unearthed, but I remain dubious that one exists -- at least for the MCB/ARA years (the AAR is in the future for me). There are

Also a new ladder, the result of a classic "cornering" collision, I'm sure. https://www.flickr.com/photos/mit-libraries/3441330455/in/album-72157614966285159/ Dennis Storzek
