RE: The modified gondola coupled to the wrecker…Was that car part of a CB&Q revenue series of the same design? Steve Johnson

Bill and Garth, Thanks for the information from the ORERs. Examining the photos, I can make out “NEW 2(?)-34, and the Mt. Vernon Car Mfg. Co. builder’s stencil to the right of the doors. Steve Johnson

I found this Whitcomb Locomotives ad in the April-July 1935 issue of BALDWIN LOCOMOTIVES magazine. The South Georgia Ry. boxcar really caught my attention. I don’t recall ever seeing a photo of a frei

I’d really like to see such a comprehensive set done! Here are some L&N ones we were discussing on the L&N group a while back. There are several messages, so scroll down. Some of these are post-1960,

I have an HO Branchline Hershey reefer kit in the “chocolate” scheme, like this one: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/branchline-trains-ho-40-acf-urtx-428889793 Attached is a photo of a modern H

Claus, Thanks for posting the links to those work equipment photos. L&N diesel sand cars nos. 40950-40953 were converted from old tenders in 1941. These cars were later renumbered to 40069-40072. Capa

Photos attached of 2 other cars from the group. Steve Johnson

Lester, if I recall correctly, HO Collector magazine ran an article on that very subject. I cannot find that issue at the moment to access that article. Maybe someone else in this group can locate tha

I remember going to see one of these embalmed whales, which was housed in a specially-made semi trailer. That was in the 1960s in my hometown of Hopkinsville, KY. It was in the parking lot of a shoppi

Bob, This looks to me to be an impact demonstration car. L&N’s South Louisville Shop built one out of an old single-sheathed 40 ft boxcar in late 1955. This car toured the L&N system to promote loss a

Joe, Attached are two Greenville Steel Car Co. builder images of L&N 26000, part of L&N series 26000-26199, built in 1956. Steve Johnson

No, I have some of the Walthers kits, in the white and blue boxes, from the early 1990s. I recall the Walthers catalogs and model magazines at the time featured color ads of those kits, and also the r

Walthers produced a re-tooled AHM PS-1 model, the later version with the molded-on ladders. The original AHM/Roco model had separate ladders. The Walthers car had a new underframe with coupler boxes,

Gents, I stumbled upon these on eBay today: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1pc-2pcs-3pcs-5pcs-HO-Scale-52ft-Flat-Car-1-87-Rolling-Stock-Freight-Car/193206684745?_trkparms=aid%3D555021%26algo%3DPL.SIMRVI%26a

Hugh, According to the Walthers item number you provided, the kit you have is this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Walthers-933-6859-Undecorated-40-039-Gondola-Kit-/233539963738?hash=item3660110b5a%3Ag%

Allen, Is he planning on producing these decals only for the refurbished and renumbered version (500 series) ca. 1958+? I have several photos of the 7900s and later 500 series cars that I can send to

An article in the August 1963 issue of L&N’s company magazine shows this very car working with an L&N pile hammer-equipped crane in the rebuilding of a bridge over the Tensas River near Mobile, AL. Th

Ike, Thanks for that photo! I certainly agree with your statement that L&N had some of the oddest, home-built MofW equipment. In the Morning Sun Books L&N Color Guide, Volume 2, page 87, there is a sh

Matt is correct. Subsequently, that unit was purchased by L&N in 1966 and rebuilt into an RS3 by L&N using components from a damaged L&N FA2. It was renumbered to L&N #104 (2nd). The car behind the lo
