John, Walthers did produce one years ago from the old T-M molds. I picked one up a few years back at a show, for kicks. In Western New York, you know it a good bar if there is a Genny sign in the wind

I have the opportunity to purchase many undecorated kits of these cars. I realize I'll be replacing the ladders and grabs, but was wondering what I could model with the basic car. With the newer BLT c

Wow, this generated more discussion than I expected. I happen to have the Walthers car handy and it is a wood sided car (not that that means it is correct) and the reporting marks are GBCX 107. Other

I'm looking for information on the above cars. The only information I have comes from the Westerfield 1955 ORER. They are 50', 10'-6" interior height cars. Thanks Brian J. Carlson

I've got two LL P2k Mather stock cars I'd like some more information about, specifically the time of lease. I've re-read Richard Hendrickso's articles in the Nov. and dec. 1987 Model Railroading, but

Were any of the CGTX tankcars in the 1001-1100 ACF Type 27's. If so how usual was it to see CGTX cars in the US in the mid-late 1950's Thanks Brian carlson.

Thanks Richard, now what to do with them, since neither works for my 1957 layout. Maybe I'll repaint them into a later Mather, CB&Q, B&O or NP those seem to have been around longer. Brian carlson Rich

Ted, looking at the two pictures I have, I think I agree with Tim, they look like W-corners. The two pictures I have are NKP 20616 (former WLE) taken in 1956 in San Diego, and WLE 26016 in 1944 (Photo

I forgot to say that since the PM, NKP, and WLE all were members of the Advisory Mechanical Committee they probably had the same ends. Also the notes in the article I have says both the NKP and WLE ca
