PRR G26
Bruce F. Smith V.M.D., Ph.D. <smithbf@...>
Morning y'all,
I am trying to figure out a suitable number for a PRR G26 (65'6") mill gon
with National B1 trucks. I know the number of at least one G26a car that
rode on B1 trucks, but I'm having a hard time finding an original G26. I
ask as the last thing I need to do to my HO ECW G26 is number it (after
adding all wire grabs, visible brake rigging...the invisible stuff was
replaced with lead, and I still can't get the car close to a decent
weight...lowering the car, adding LL B1 trucks).
Happy Rails

Ted,
Wow! Thanks!!! Now the cursing under my breath is the fact that the
location of the lettering is different from the G26 on Rob S' site
http://prr.railfan.net/photos/PRR_439048_G26_34view.jpg - note the repack
stencil blt date and class are all shifted right one panel on car 440687.
