Re: N&W Movie
Rob M.
Even though the opening credits don't say so, the N&W movie appears to have many similarities with Roger Wade Productions railroad promo films of the 40's and 50's.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
The theme of following a car of freight is the same as the 1948 CNJ promotional film, "The BIG little Railroad". The CNJ video doesn't include any shop footage, but has a goodly amount if in-cab videos (along with the same theme of maintenance and some "office" footage. The stock music in the N&W film from the 50's contains some of the same stock music as in the CNJ film. I know I've heard the same stock music on another RR video, possibly off of Prelinger IIRC. Like the N&W film, the CNJ film has many run-buys and is filled with good freight car shots in classic schemes, including quite a few Canadian cars on-line with the CNJ as well as a good number of non-east-coast roads.

Just a warning. Apparently the catalog program I have used for years is shut down. As a result the market basket cannot send an email to me with the order attached. If you have ordered something in the last week or are planning to order, please order in one of 3 ways: mail, phone or attach the order to a regular email. I'm trying to work around the problem but may have to create an entirely new web site. - Al Westerfield

Re: MKT "War Emergency" type boxcar body rebuilt on Fishbelly U/F Photos
Richard Hendrickson
Bill, this is a B/W print from a Dean Hale color slide, taken when
the car was close to retirement. I have a couple of other partial photos showing a car painted yellow with black stenciling, which is how they were painted when new. Richard Hendrickson  [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Re: Westerfield AC&F Builder's Photos and Lot List Question
S hed <shed999@...>
The AC&F CD is well worth the cost especially if you are planning to model from the 1890s to the 1930s. If you are going to model in that time frame then the CD is a must have.
I have the CD and I use it all the time when ever I am researching a project. And even though there is a large array of car photos, the CD provides the AC&F car lot listing for even more cars. - Steve Hedlund, Everett, WA To: STMFC@yahoogroups.com From: soccrdad525@yahoo.com Date: Sun, 28 Mar 2010 16:04:46 +0000 Subject: [STMFC] Westerfield AC&F Builder's Photos and Lot List Question Hello Everyone.

MKT "War Emergency" type boxcar body rebuilt on Fishbelly U/F Photos
Bill Welch
Are there any known photos available of the MKT rebuilds using the 10' 6" War Emergency boxcar superstructure design on a fishbelly type U/F? I have a vague memory of seeing a colour photo of one in a presentation on War Emergency cars years ago at Naperville.
