The drawings do show a Viking Corrugated roof, but I've never seen any photos of it on any N&W car. I'd recommend sticking with the Climax radial roof. Another tricky aspect of the class BL and its re

I think this is a copy of a Western Pacific order? https://catalog.archives.gov/id/45502189 A very late variation of the ACF channel-side hopper: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/45502185 David Thompso

That is a fascia strip for the floor boards. David Thompson

We've discussed the UTLX car before. The covered hopper looks to me like a B&O N-13 from the end. https://imgur.com/a/FezS97k David Thompson

Yes, this car started life as Hocking Valley 34000-34999, double-wood-sheathed automobile boxes built in 1924 to the proposed ARA 1923 design. They became C&O 83000-83999 in 1930. Some were rebuilt in
