Hi, I'm looking for information as to when the following cars were built: CNJ 33781 D&H 22962 ELS 7000 and 7096 I've uploaded photos that I have of these to the "Frank's Randomness" folder in the File

I've found a bunch scattered throughout the site - though a lot of them are post-1960 photos of STMFCs. Frank Valoczy Vancouver, BC ----- http://hydrorail.hostwq.net/index.html - Rails along the Frase

I looked through "Revenue Freight Cars of the Pere Marquette" and found a few things relevant to this. Firstly - the PM's three-panel Hutchins cars were rebuilt from double-sheathed ends. Secondly, as

Nothing to thank. Unfortunately I have no idea anymore as to where I found it - it was somewhere out on the ether of the web, though. Frank Valoczy Vancouver, BC ----- http://hydrorail.hostwq.net/inde

Yeah, the stencil says 100,000, and the ORER listing says that, too. I tweaked the gamma of the image a bit to lighten it and get a clearer view, and compared it to an Accurail Andrews truck I have at

Thanks for the tips, Ben. Want to bet that that Monon boxcar is an SU? ;) Frank Valoczy Vancouver, BC ----- http://hydrorail.hostwq.net/index.html - Rails along the Fraser http://hydrorail.rrpicturear

Bob, Thanks for the link to those two pictures. I can't recall where I found it (somewhere in the ether of the www) but I'll post the photo of 1266 to the files section of the group when I get home. F

I've seen conflicting commentary on which is the early Hutchins end and which is the late one. I know on the Westerfield site the square-cornered ribs are referred to as the late style, and the tapere

Just one more question... What slogans were used on the Seaboard's 22200-22449 series of cars? Only the "Courteous Service", or were there others? Thanks, Frank Valoczy Vancouver, BC ----- http://hydr

I have some photos of four cars I'd like to model, but am not familiar enough with what's available in model form to decide what to use as a basis for models of these cars. The cars in question are: C

NONE was indeed the New Orleans & Northeastern, and it was (at least later on) affiliated with the Southern Railway. Frank Valoczy Vancouver, BC ----- http://hydrorail.hostwq.net/index.html - Rails al

Thanks for the explanation, Ben, and for the tip - I'm going to go scour the archives now. Though just before checking my inbox and seeing your message, I sent a new one in which at the end I conclude

I jumped ahead of what I was doing and went through both the 1948 and 1946 lists that were uploaded. I found no C&O ventilated cars in 1946, but in 1948 there were three: 86812 - merchandise 86522 - c

I've been going through the spreadsheets uploaded to the group the other day, of the conductor's book on the Southern in Virginia. I'm about halfway through the 1948 list, and I've noticed some (to me

Where do you find these? I would dearly love to find some for any Carolinas road for around 1934 or 1951... Frank Valoczy Vancouver, BC ----- http://hydrorail.hostwq.net/index.html - Rails along the F

Rob, I think I saw some Railroad Modellers at Central Hobbies in Vancouver the other day; if you want I can take a look and see if they have this one, next time I'm by. Frank Valoczy Vancouver, BC ---

Jim, Thanks for that great tip; though Chicago isn't quite "a ride on the 'lectric" away from S. C., I'll definitely keep an eye out for this one. Though I would guess that the freight equipment of th

So which is the original Bettendorf design? A guess: like those on the B-50-13/14s? I've seen that design I think most commonly, with the almost equal angle on the top and bottom of the side frame. Fr
