Re: Evemodel HO flat cars

I couldn’t find that car, but old Norwegian boxcars used by the military (collapsible benches) had the marking “40 men or 8 horses” like this car built in 1899 and in traffic until 1960.

Looking at their other cars, they appear to be European in prototype, there is a small 4 wheel box car in Norwegian livery which is somewhat odd!. ( I am not sure that the Norwegians marked their cars "40 men and 8 horses" as well) The brake gear under the cars also looks odd and I wonder if the models are of a European or Chinese flat car.

I access the list via E-Mail, and, recently, when double-clicking on any attachment, it goes directly to the website, and doesn’t display the jpeg or png. How can I find the specific phot that I have selected on the website?

Hi Sam, I had the same problem. When I clicked on the attachment I went directly to the RealSTMFC homepage and could not find the notes. If someone could send me the correct URL I’d really appreciate it as I have some Archer decals to try. Cheers Dave

More likely a USRA clone from the mid-1920's constructed with 7 over 8 rib ends that was rebuilt in the 1930's with a 3 rib extension added to the top to increase the cubic capacity. My best, Don Valentine

Re: Evemodel HO flat cars
Richard Townsend
These cars appear to be improved versions of the old AHM/Tyco/Model Power 50' flats (not 52'6"). Same side configuration, same number of stake pockets, same length. Detail on the sides seems to be somewhat better, and there are endsills and buffers, which were lacking on the old model. That is a vast improvement. The underframe and brake system are completely different and IMHO somewhat imaginary, though maybe there are Chinese or other cars with brake systems like that..
The Roco cars Tony refers to are longer. They essentially are stretched versions of the 50" (not 52'6") flats. The Roco flats are good starting points for the US Army 6-axle flats, as Tony has pointed out elsewhere. The 50' flats have no prototype that I am aware of.
So my bottom line, at least for now, is they are better versions of a car with no prototype. Richard Townsend

But that car doesn’t have the right 5/5/5 Murphy end for a USRA car. It’s possibly a USRA clone rebuilt with steel sides since a 7/8 Murphy end was used on some of those cars.

Re: Barriger Library AC&F Photos

Interesting to see a 1943 build date on that USOX tank car. I did not know that design was used after the 1920s. I’m not used to seeing an AB brake system under a tank car like this.

Re: Photo: PRR Boxcar
Anyone recognize the car with the dark murphy end (black?) and light colored side that the PRR X26 is coupled to? It could be a USRA double sheathed rebuild. http://www.idaillinois.org/utils/ajaxhelper/?CISOROOT=p16614coll41&CISOPTR=23&action=2&DMSCALE=200&DMWIDTH=1000&DMHEIGHT=1018&DMX=2500 Tim O'

I think the cars may be Chinese prototype but lettered for "everything"?

I’m not sure if it’s a problem on my end or not, but I’m no longer able to open the PDF file that was attached to Bill’s message. Now when I click on the attachment I’m sent directly to the RealSTMFC homepage. I can open other message attachments (such as attached photos), but not Bill’s. Anyone else having this problem?

The link wasn't correct. You had to add a letter to the front of the link and paste it into your browser. When correct id did take you to the STMFC site Not sure I explained this correctly Fenton

My Yahoo Account
Schleigh Mike
Hello Friends!
I have had a problem with my Yahoo account and thought I might terminate it to deal with the issue. It has been hacked and an extortionist is looking for money. It is serious enough that I have contacted the local police and FBI. I trust this will not cause any problems for any of you. If so, I am very sorry for this. Please accept my apology in advance. Some of you may know my alternative email so contact me there or phone or write via USPS if you wish. Please, for the time being do not use my Yahoo address.
If you find anything suspicious from me, please delete it.
It has been a pleasure being here with you. I hope we can catch up somewhere in the near term but for now, I will be quiet.
I have taken some protective steps but, if these fail, I will likely terminate.
Kind regards----Mike Schleigh

I have tried a couple of times to correct misinformation and been ignored. I suspect they didn't know me from Adam, and didn't want to take the time verifying my corrections.You've hit the nail on the head. The libraries that hold these images really know very little about them, and cataloging is typically work for interns. The caption is really just a description for the catalog, and should only be a general description of what the image shows, plus any information that was written on the print or negative... and that's where the problem comes in... if someone has written erroneous information on the photo, it is treated as primary source information. The person writing the descriptions really isn't competent to make a judgement. The descriptions aren't intended to educate, but simply allow the image to be found by scholars (and authors) who can then include it in a better researched work. The danger in allowing the description to be changed is that some of the primary source data may be lost and replaced with information that is also erroneous. Trying to get an institution to change a catalog description is like trying to correct erroneous information on the internet. There are better uses for one's time. Dennis Storzek
