ATSF flat class
That's cool. My Dad photographed this one (no idea of the class designation) ATSF 190198 in 1978 in Barstow. It has 13 stake pockets ! On 1/24/2023 7:59 PM, Jim Eager wrote:

PFE never had such cars, which would be a rebuilt ice refrigerator. I think your model may be from a low cost Mehano (guess?) model based on someone's imagination -- I think I bought one cheap at a ra

huh. CGLX 406 was a Pullman Standard 2893. So CGLX 401 must have been in a very small number series? On 1/14/2023 7:06 PM, Brynn Beaudry wrote:

Ambroid probably got information from Car Builder Cyclopedias! A photo and drawing, plus ORERs would answer the rest. On 1/21/2023 9:37 PM, Robert G P wrote:

Should we be mfgr bashing?
EXCEPT that what set all this off was an odious (and very inaccurate) roof on a new $85 plastic freight car. I am calm and rational when it comes to Athearn blue box. Not so much overpriced imports fr

Gordon was an amazing modeler. :-) I would think drawings of these extremely common cars would not be hard to find. How about these guys? https://www.umsl.edu/mercantile/barriger/index.html On 1/20/20
