In the past few months, I've frequently looked to the "steamerafreightcars" website for comprehensive prototype data. Today, I was surprised and concerned to a notice that the domain name is available

If you have any success making the trucks or having trucks cast in resin (e.g. F&C) please let us know. :-) I believe D&RGW also used trucks of this type on their 70 ton GS gondolas, for which there i

I'm fairly sure that's a "Colonel McCoid" photo of PRR 65356 from San Diego, from Bob's collection.

My Yarmouth N&W B5 boxcar came with these trucks and I am impressed with how well these resin trucks roll with IM wheel sets. Bill Darnaby

Unfortunately the 6 foot door disqualifies this model.

I have images of SIX of the 50150 to 50499 cars and all them are 10-0 IH and have 7 foot doors. Exactly one railroad bought 10-0 IH PS-1 box cars with 7 foot doors - the New Haven. And they bought 150

Bob, These trucks are PRR class 2D-F24, Buckeye All Service Cushion trucks. F&C made these in resin as an add-on for their X37B kit. They were only used on about 100 X37B and some X38 cars on the PRR.

They look very muck like the trucks under the Helium Tank Cars. Just Google Helium Tank Cars and search Tony Thompsons articles and the articles under Amarillo Rail Museum. These trucks are under the

Identity Of Trucks On PRR Boxcar 65356? Ray Breyer posted this photo on another group. Can any one identify the trucks on this car? I assume they are an exclusive PRR design. Thanks. Bob Chaparro Heme

Scott & others interested, The Oct. 1966 ORER lists Rio Grande 50150-51499, which were 350 second-hand 40’-6” PS-1 box cars built in 1948 with 7’ door openings. In any event this is after the prescrib

For the pressed Steel carsyou could just buy the Yarmouth model works version of the car. They gave 4 versions http://www.yarmouthmodelworks.com/index.php/ResinModelKits/Index Brian J. Carlson

Scott, Let me add that AFAIK, the only Rio Grande 40' steel boxcars appropriate to our era of interest were Pressed Steel 12-panel, solid side sill cars with a 10' 4" IH and 6' doors. The closest mode

Mike and Scott, Correct. D&RGW 50150-50499 were leased from USRE in 1966. They were a mixed bag of rebuilt cars, some with a rare 10' IH from the New Haven, and others 10' 6" IH. There are photos of b

In the July 1966 ORER, this cars is part of series 50150-50499, 350 cars with a note to indicate that they are leased, but carry D&RGW reporting marks. So, probably not original Rio Grande cars. Steve
