Atlas Powder tank car built 9-15 (with a raised walkway) and an AC&&Y hopper car built 10-19 APCX 1058 is one of those high-walkway cars (probably) built by Pennsylvania Tank Car with the underframe later used by Standard Tank Car. AC&Y 7042 is probably ex-Clinchfield. David Thompson

Hi List Members,
Thanks to everyone for the great information. I had seen cars of this
unique construction type in images before, but I could never make out the
reporting marks.
See image below for one such example taken on the DL&W - in the
string of hoppers third car from the left

100-ton Andrews trucks in HO
David
The PA&McKR 90-ton Andrews trucks were used under PSCX 1091, a sample battleship gondola built by Pressed Steel Car in 1921 that shows up in the '20s CBCs. This car was leased to Virginian for most of the 1920s. Pittsburgh Allegheny & McKees Rocks ended up with a number of PSC sample cars over the years.

RDG 12343 / Reading 12870
Ray Hutchison
So Reading has a variety of cocao cars... 22870 has different roof hatches and different hopper doors than 12343. 12343 does appear to be repurposed drop-bottom box car, with the regular hopper doors 22870 appears to be built for dedicated service. When I first saw the car I was wondering how they would be cleaned (maybe just steam cleaning through the hatches?) Cocao husks are sold by our local botanical garden as mulch; would they have been used for same or different purpose pre-WWII period?

Re: 100-ton Andrews trucks in HO

Dave and Richard,
The familiar US Navy Helium tank cars rode on 100-ton trucks. The earliest versions were Andrews. There's a decent photo in the FSA/OWI collection at loc.gov. https://www.loc.gov/resource/fsa.8d26369/ I'd like to cook up a set in 3D to accurately model the helium cars. In a pinch though, others have adapted the old MDC heavy duty truck with outside hung brake beams by sawing off the roller bearings and transplanting plain bearing journal boxes. Apparently the trickiest part is gluing the slippery deleon plastic. As info, -Jeff Ford Sanger, TX

In the ERIE sequence there are quite a few cars that were built in the early times (20s or so) and in the 30s and 40s, even into the 50s. The collection covers a long range.

Fro those who worry that all of this is beyond the group's 12-31-59 cut-off date, I did a quick perusal of the "A" section, and found an Atlas Powder tank car built 9-15 (with a raised walkway) and an AC&&Y hopper car built 10-19, plus a smattering of cars built in the 1950's.
Seek and ye shall find.

Re: RDG 12343 -- not what I expected
Schuyler Larrabee
Well, this IS a double sheathed car, and I would surmise that if you removed the exterior sheathing, you’d see the bolts holding the framing for the slope sheets there in the interior sheathing . . .

I wonder if they had internal slope sheets. There's no exterior sign of them but it seems they would be necessary in order to clear the car. Maybe the roof hatches, or at least a roof hatch, was big enough for a person to get in to clear the car interior . . . but no external sign of that, either, that I can see.

Friends, I had some trouble finding this collection, but once I had one page I was able to work out the catalog page: https://pullman-lib.smugmug.com . Someone commented that there was no "A" list, but that's because the URL gives this as "As" Yours Aye, Garth Groff 🦆
