No recognition, Jakc, but I find it interesting that each bracket on the side of that car has two holes in it, maybe to facilitate adding stakes to the sides? Schuyler

Claus, I have to agree about your resolution remark! Schuyler

I wonder how many cases of Ruppert disappeared that day? I’d wager a LOT OF THEM! Schuyler

If I follow your numbers correctly, I’d suggest that the railroad rebuilt the cars from 6’ doors to 8’ doors. Schuyler

It's really quite fascinating. A lake frozen hard enough that multiple cars were driven out on it. but it's the harvesting that is interesting. How they did that. Schuyler > Erie subsidiary Wilkes-Bar

The FITCHBURG and INTERCOLONIAL cars are rate animals! Schuyler

Lester, your production, both quantity and quality, is amazing. Beautiful model. Schuyler

Yeah, Claus, some of us might, like me. Interesting photo that probably would benefit from Photoshop, which I don’t currently have. I model the ERIE, you understand. Schuyler

Expressing my crusty old fart side . . . (sorry) I am of the opinion that the difference between Fu . . . and Fo . . . UP BEYOND ALL . . . Trending toward the first, is an example of the degeneration

The look pretty close! Schuyler

Wotta Door! On CINX 5050. Any clues on the colors of D.I.C.X. 190 ? And is that a Mathieson car? Unusual to have the reporting letters and the number on the same line between the lines above and below

Seriously?? I beg to differ. The white is too complete over the ENTIRE car. I mean, I could believe that if the sides were seriously covered with dust or “product” of some kind, but the ends AND the r

Interesting photo Ed. I am moved to observe that the freight equipment doesn’t look, in terms of coloration, much different than 40 years later in the US. Schuyler

The wharf buildings seen in the second link Chris provided are, STILL are, stone. Schuyler

Interesting, I guess it could be my monitor, but at 32.5” I (apparently mistakenly) thought it was showing things in accurate proportion. Schuyler

Note that when you click on the image for a larger view, the proportions of the car are different. Longer, less tall. The original image (I assume) is distorted. BTW, can anyone make out the BLT date?

Thanks for the images that should settle this debate, interesting as it has been. Schuyler

I just bought two of the sets Ben Hom referred me to on eBay, but if that doesn’t do it all, I’ll be back to you. Thanks. Schuyler
