I have the PM revenue freight cars book, however, I would like to find better views of the ends, in which the shape of the inverse 'ribs' tapers is visible more clearly. Frank Valoczy Vancouver, BC

Thanks for that, Chuck. There is of course a scale mismatch in that I'm not actively working in HO, but if nothing else some of their links look to be of some interest. Frank Valoczy Vancouver, BC RUT

First a yes/no question: D&TS 1000-1299 series hoppers - USRA? And: can anyone give any leads for these? Delray Connecting 3001-3052, 4027-4032 (hoppers) Port Huron & Detroit 1001-1005, 1006-1522 (XM)

Tim, Rich, Thanks for the replies! Unfortunately a year too new for me, so will have to find a different representative for D&TS. Frank Valoczy Vancouver, BC Tim O'Connor wrote:

Just one more question for the time being... ...anyone know where I might find information or pictures of the D&TS 3000-3049 series of boxcars? All I've managed to find so far is a picture of an N sca

Thanks much for the answers, Tim! I'd be grateful if you'd send me that colour shot. I have a couple of photos of the grey livery; I can't quite make out the reweigh dates but they seem to be 50-somet

I'd have a couple of quick questions... 1. What roofs did Detroit & Mackinac 2800-3099 and Lake Superior & Ishpeming 2201-2225 srs boxcars have? 2. Regarding the D&M cars: I've seen a number of photos

I have a resin casting of a tank car tank. It was intended for HOn3, but I picked it up because it was cheap, and am hoping to be able to use it for a TT scale model. I'm wondering if someone might be

Hi, I'm wondering (again) if anyone could help with an ORER request: this time a bit more specific than in previous times. I'd like to find the Transit Co. Ltd. entry from 1957; failing that specific

Could anyone suggest where I might find good (as in, good for making a model with) drawings of the Type X underframe? Thanks. Frank Valoczy Vancouver, BC

Thanks all for the clarification of the location of Coutts; I guess it`s too much to expect of an Albertan archive to know what towns are in Alberta. The photo shows the cars in a siding that appears

Reading the messages about cars through Bieber I got curious as to whether anyone of you who've gone through wheel reports of US roads have found (m)any Canadian-registered tank cars in trains in the

I don't know what RDY is, but CRP is Central of Pennsylvania, which was a subsidiary of Central of New Jersey for tax purposes. IIRC it was a court order in 1952(?) that forced CNJ to abolish the CRP.

Would anyone be able to provide any pre-1912 ORER listings for Imperial Oil, Ltd.? Thanks, Frank Valoczy Vancouver, BC

Could someone suggest examples of the ICC 105A300W type of tanks, built around 1944-1946? Polymer Corp., Ltd had several of these with PCLX reporting marks, seemingly first listed in the 1/1946 ORER.

Perhaps try asking on the CDN-frt-cars-n-ops Yahoogroup, or one of the CN groups? I'd guess that coal going to the Eastern Townships in Quebec and to southern Ontario would have come from Nova Scotia,
