NP War Emergency Boxcar Underframe Measurements
railsnw1 <railsnw@...>
All,
Had a request on the NP Modellers Yahoo site for the spacing of the cross members under NP 28417 at the Northwest Railway Museum. Well climbed under the car and can provide the following. Starting at the vertical "Z" post at the doors a cross member is attached at this point but these are the only ones that line up with a vertical. From the center line of the member at the door vertical, heading towards the ends, the centers between the members are 48" then 45" and funally the bolster at 53". If you look at a photo of the side sill you will see a single rivet that attaches the cross member to the sill. This is based on NP 28417 which is a Pullman-Standard car and this is verified by a Pullman plate on the frame. The other car we have is NP 28129 which is also Pullman. Hope this helps. Richard Wilkens

David Sieber
David,
Love those ACF welded 70T gons, and since I could use a number of your ASF A3 70T trucks, I appreciate you offering them at bulk pricing. However, I am among the increasing number of modelers who greatly prefer 0.088 semi-scale tread wheelsets - especially for open end frame hoppers, etc., where the wheels are easily seen. When might we hope to see Tangent trucks with even better looking semi-scale wheelsets?

ORER Help Needed - Dec 1950 - AW 103
Andy Laurent
Gents,
I am searching for information on a flatcar owned by the Ahnapee & Western Railway...AW 103. It was put in service in 1949 or '50, and is referenced in an ICC report as being "in use in interchange service at the end of 1950." The car was converted from an ex-MDT refrigerator car (and ex-AW 3000 series), and was equipped with cradles for carrying boats built in Sturgeon Bay, Wisc. If someone has a late 1950 or early 1951 ORER and can check the A&W listing, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Andy Laurent South Bend, IN

Re: odd L&N boxcar

Hi Marty--Ah, but it is terribly easy if the width of the ends is correctly done. Just center the ends on the flat ends of the IM box and those very noticeable insets are in place.

Actually what I did was remove from the Tichy end the upper peaked and flat part, then cut the remaining lower part more or less down the middle, then glue in place one half so that the proper inset was visible. A styrene filler strip of appropriate width was than added, then the other half of the end glued in place. After cannibalizing the top three corrugations and the end peak from a donor end, the piece was split and attached in similar fashion. Now all that remains is to carve/file/sand matching contours into the styrene spacer. Far easier than carving the ladders off the end of a Bowser round roof boxcar! Takes a lot longer to write about than do, once the parts are gathered. Resin kits are great, but I would rather work with the very high quality castings from IM and Tichy. And, at least in this case, I didn't have to wait six months from project inception to actual hands on. Steve Hoxie Pensacola FL

Re: odd L&N boxcar
Marty McGuirk
Sunshine Kit #64.11 has the Murphy ends and 1951 lettering. (It happens to be the last Sunshine kit I built before starting layout construction, so the box is easy to find!)
Prototype Data sheet also states 46900-46999 had 12 foot side door openings. Some of the cars had Dreadnaught ends and 5-foot striker spacing including: 95499-503; 95513-518; 93261-275; 93308-327 and 97086-087. In addition to the characteristic visible framework along the sidesill, the Murphy-end cars on the L&N has a noticeable "inset" corner on the ends. I don't think it would be terribly easy to model that spotting feature using an Intermountain car and Tichy ends. Marty

L&N had a lot of them. I can supply number series and other info if you're interested. Richard Hendrickson

Interesting to model: Intermountain 1937 AAR box on a Tichy SS frame. The ends have to be pieced together, including widening them a bit by adding a strip in the center. Steve Hoxie Pensacola FL --- In STMFC@yahoogroups.com, "Schuyler Larrabee" <schuyler.larrabee@...> wrote: ivirus/

I don't mean to be cynical, Al, but that is likely to be happening sooner or later as these alternative-to-the-NMRA meets happen. It is simply impossible to avoid conflicting dates. People will have to make choices.

East Stroudsburg, no date. But I'm curious about the end on the L&N car: from the top, a 3/7/8 rib end? At a glance, the side seems more modern than that. What is that beast??
