Re: Foobies

I like to think of model railroading as a tree. We all grow out of the same roots but we tend to branch off. One branch may be close to ground and provide for a swing, another branch might tower toward the sun and another shade the house. One branch is not better in value than another, but if you choose to be a swing branch then it's better to be close to the ground.

Posted by: "gary laakso" vasa0vasa@earthlink.net ky123leThis has been discussed on the Earlyrail group. According to the 1905 ORER Box & Stock, series 77000-77998 and 79000-79498 both even numbers only so number 77448 would be correct. EM Ry is Eastern Minnesota Railway IL 44-0, IW 8-4 1/4, IH 8-1 1/2 6994 cu ft, 60000 cpy 730 cars in both series. Howard Garner modeling 1905 in southern Minnesota

What is more frustrating (to me!) is when cars are produced that have a fundamental flaw that renders them inaccurate for anything (eg the infamous Tichy tank car).The infamous Tichy tank car....... Well, I love this model for what it is; I love it because it simply looks great; I love it for what it aspires to be; and I love it especially because something so small and harmless continues to cause so much consternation.... just by existing!

Re: Foobies

Clark - and isn't that the point of it all? To me the reason to model as accurately as I can is to please myself. I don't care if anyone else likes the result... and similarly I don't expect anyone to care if I approve of their work or not.

The 1917 Great Northern Freight Car diagram books shows the car to be a 44 ft stock car, numbers 5500 to 55651 built by H&B in 1898 but the diagram notes that the car was "changed to a stock car at St. Cloud 1906".

For some reason I have it in my mind that the unusual GN car with roof hatches is a barrel car. I have nothing authoritative on the matter, however.

I believe there was a drawing in Mainline Modeler by Bob Hundman done expressly to show that there was such a car.Since the drawings for the USRA tank car design (not ever built) were in the Cyc in 1919, Hundman doing a drawing confirmed NOTHING. What should have happened in the aftermath of the Tichy (then Gould) kit release was articles showing how to correct the minor differences in the model. Hundman could have taken the lead in getting such articles into print. But unfortunately Gould (and Hundman) took the position that it was a widely built car, with "many prototypes," as the kit directions and other materials stated. My own view is that, in addition to being a superb kit to build, it is a fairly close stand-in for early 1920s AC&F cars, and the underframe in particular (available as a separate kit) can be used for AC&F underframes during succeeding years. No, it's not exact, and no, it was never a physical USRA car, but that doesn't mean it's a total loss.

NYC or New Haven 90 ton flat car
Bill Lane
All,
I am looking for photos preferably showing the data etc for this NYC or New Haven 90 ton depressed center transformer flat car as show here. http://www.btsrr.com/bts9209.htm A clear dead side shot would be awesome Any additional info you may have (roster number range, built dates etc) would be appreciated as well. I am leaning towards making it New York Central as the scheme mostly because New Haven decals in S Scale are probably non-existent. But I could possibly do New Haven from an alphabet set if needed. If there is a passable HO decal set I would not be that picky about it as well. I would just like to get the car done and on the track - so to speak. Please reply directly to bill@lanestrains.com <mailto:bill@lanestrians.com> with what you have. Thank You, Bill Lane Modeling the Mighty Pennsy & PRSL in 1957 in S Scale since 1988 See my finished models at: <http://www.lanestrains.com/>; http://www.lanestrains.com Look at what has been made in PRR in S Scale!
