Showcase Miniatures has pictures of that dwarf, formerly Century Foundry, but I cannot ascertain if it is stock. Charlie Tapper

I bought an ample supply of those most excellent ladders. Thanks. CJT

MTH did indeed do a Greenville 52’6” gondola with ladders, not grabs. That is my picture of the NYC car on a layout mock-up I had. I was interested because I am building a fleet of P&LE gons, and all

Is it the old Marx/Model Power 10 panel gon? I think it would work for the 10 panel gon. I think B&LE had one or a few. I have a car diagram for an Ex-NSS car in my B&LE set. I am not sure if it is a

The P&WV cars had Improved Deadnaught ends as did cars from the W&LE’s 1946 and 1948 orders of essentially the same cars. But I believe the 1945 cars 4500-45499 can be modeled using the Accurail cars

Pittsburgh and West Virginia had wood USRA-style cabooses before they acquired steel cars. Caboose 804 looks like it is. I don't have my resources handy, but I'm thinking at least 804-812 could be USR

Hi Guy! I just quoted the caption FWIW.. In the caption they mention/implied Weber & Cavanaugh as being whom the settlement was for. I do not know who they were, nor the veracity of the citation. The

This is an insurance photo for a shifted load at Avella Pa, on the P&WV , on March 27th 1937, per the P&WV Hiline website. There are two gons involved and I would say the shifted loads are most likely

Yes. Union, McKeesport Connecting, and Lake Terminal all did. I have a shot of one of these McKeesport Connecting gons on the WP with a pipe load. Union removed theirs from service around 1950 IIRC, b

Mine did. Charles Tapper OKC

I should mention that we are on for the layout design and operations weekend hosted annually by the Indian Nations Division in Tulsa, OKlhaoma. This year it will be help March 17-19. Bernie Kempinski

Don Strack has some information on his Utah Rails site. And he gives evidence some twin hoppers from the B&LE were leased and speculates about a possibility of triple hoppers as well. I am remembering

Some did go to Union RR, but I do not know which ones, or when ( or if in list time frame) off the top of my head. Probably not what you are looking for. CJT Broken Arrow

I work in HO and my focus is on correcting the flaws and omissions or changing details on the P2K cars to match specific prototypes. So I get away with using what resources I have and realizing the un

Rather, I meant the drawing is for, at least, a "Greenville" gondola. To be specific, the 13,000-13,999 series has grabs not ladders, but does have a steel floor. Charlie Tapper

On Elwood's Fallen Flags site go to the P&LE entry, and go into "freight cars". Scroll towards the bottom. He has a general arrangement drawing (steel floor version) and a lettering diagram for these

These were the only P&LE "Greenville" clones with grabs instead of ladders. One step that makes using the P2K gon easier. Charlie Tapper OKC

With indulgence of the jailer, I would like to make a quick announcement. Many of the layouts are in the steam to transition era,have steam-era freight cars, and we feature a talk on LCLoperations thi

Al Kresse's C&O hopper/gondola book shows the 79000 series to be built in 48-49, roller bearing equipped, rounded end, and not alternate standard, but with angle braces (unusual for C&O in general). W

I'm confident that is generally correct. I think that relates to how the screening process, partly gravity fed, works. The large chunks are going to pass over the screens so I'll bet the coarser sizes
