Bob and friends,
Well . . . the Hershey car is a lot easier to see if you flip it because Artstore has presented it backwards (see attached). The car (HERX 2215) was leased from North American and came from series 2124-2239. It was an RB bunkerless refrigerator built in 1960, with 8' doors and roller bearing trucks. Like many North American cars, the color was orange.
There is a photo of sister car HERX 2205 on page 57 of John Henderson's CLASSIC FREIGHT CARS, THE SERIES, VOL. 3. This photo was taken in 1976, and shows that a Hershey Foods banner had been added to the right of the door where the small assignment letter is on 2215. It was from this photo that I was able to glean the information on HERX 2215.
Yours Aye,
Garth Groff 🦆

Guys;
We had a lengthy discussion on this photo in another forum, and none of the talented photo manipulators could do much better. Maybe you can?
The presence of so many PRR cars is a treat, as are the WP and CNW box cars.
This scene is so modelable, I am surprised I haven’t seen it done. Just look at the great details both in and around the yard. Fabulous.

Schuyler,
I played around with the image in Photoshop but was unable to determine a car number. The first letter in the reporting marks seems to be a G, so it might be a GARX car.

James Brewer
My copy of Ted's latest journal arrived last week and I had some time during the Hindsight breaks yesterday and today to review; another excellent work by a superb modeler. Loads of prototype and modeling information and details; there are projects for all levels from beginner to advanced modeler. Want to try a resin kit or kitbash? There is something here for you. Ted describes many of his techniques in a clear and concise manner. If you haven't already gotten your copy you can find it here: Jim Brewer

Re: Photo: Scrap Loads In Gondolas (1955)

One of the very last things I did before retiring from EMD was to wander out back in the yard with a coffee can and scoop up some machining turnings or chips, as they were called, for my scrap loads. They were pre-weathered with rust and I use them as loose loads in my gons. Repeated pouring and dumping them out of the gons also has the benefit nicely weathering the gon interiors. Bill Darnaby

Absolutely. There were many grades of scrap, and value depended on grade. Particularly post-production scrap was easy to segregate and many loads depict that. (Not the modeler's favorite load with a complete automobile on top.)
