Sent: Friday, May 15, 2020 2:28 PM To: RealSTMFC@groups.io Subject: [RealSTMFC] ACL O-17 Ventilation Box Car - "Watermelon Car"
I am trying to scratch build the ACL Watermelon Car starting with an Ambroid Kit from the 50s [One of my Cars for my NMRA AP Cars certificate]. This kit has all the wood pieces but no car details like the brakes, wheels, etc., nor are they described in the brief kit instructions
From my research, I have some pictures and have an idea of which details I need. But I don’t have specific types or sizes of the following:
I need pictures or drawings or parts lists showing these items in order to scratchbuild or purchase these parts. I found the ACL/SAL Historical Society and the NC Transportation Museum web sites devoid of rolling stock details.
Does anybody have any links or information that I can use?
Thank you in advance,
Bill Lyders

Caption calls it an X29, but methinks it's an X25. (Door opens left.)

Friends, The building the background made me very curious. What was Alabastine? Apparently a gypsum-based tinted plaster. Here is a Wikipedia link to the Alabastine Mine, now a secure underground storage facility: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alabastine_Mine Yours Aye, Garth Groff 🦆

Re: Ore car help
The plans for this car are also in the 1895 & 1898 Car Builders Dictionary along with a photo of an apparently identical LS&MS car.
These were reproduced in Newton Gregg's Train Shed Cyclopedia #55 (for the photo) & #57 (for the plan). Tom

SOLD: HO Western Pacific 42' 1916 blt BoxCar

Hi everyone- This single set of castings for the WP box car has been spoken for. Thanks, -Andy Carlson Ojai CA

Hello- I have made a few castings for a WP 42' single sheathed box car, the real one was built in 1916. Many of these cars reached a few years after the War, but most were rebuilt from the years of 1937 and on for cabooses and stock cars, so not many received AB brakes, with the exception of the gypsum top hatch loading cars which served from Gerlick to the Bay Area. I have set of castings which will do a single box car. No decals, trucks, couplers brake sets, just the hard parts for this venerable WP box car. These parts have some small flaws which make them unsuitable for a sell at full price. I think that a modeler with some experience fixing some small voids with putty should be able to make a first class looking box car. I don't recommend anyone who has no experience with resin kit building for this car has no instructions.
