That data is getting easier to find the more are digitized and put online. In this case, GB&W has a listing in the 1945 Freight Commodity Statistics. For ores and concentrates NOS they bridged 330 ton

Don’t copy me, I used Model Master Oxide Red....but I’m modeling a CNJ repaint - colors varied. There is a color builders photo in the Barriger Library Collection - ACF album which will make a good re

I’m getting ready to weather one of the subject cars and it occurred to me that I haven’t figured out if the roofs were painted or not. A long shot I know, but there are some pretty knowledgeable folk

I forgot, they collected this data with terminations on Class I railroads, so there won't be any US-Canada traffic in this report, just Canada/Mexico to US. Mike Clements Wakefield, MA nyc65.wordpress

Scroll through this report. It should have what you are looking for. It was only published 1951-53. #13 - Carload waybill statistics; territorial distribution, ... no.SS8 1951-1953. - Full View | Hath

For me, I’m fine with exaggerating this feature to make it visible. The main idea is to give a lip for the oil wash to settle on. I went back and used a pointed q tip with horizontal strokes on the pa

Still playing with the patch. I did the other half of the car and added an oil paint wash. It is *kind of* working. I had to use direct overhead light to get it to show up in the attached pic. You can

That is a pre-lettered car. The idea is to save the paint by using a clear, thick decal to represent the patch along the bottom of the car body.

I’ve got 5 decal projects going right now, and this is at the bottom of the stack. I’ll post photos of the final result, I think the weathering will help make it pop, but this is what I’ve got right n
