How accurate is the model? Could someone tell me or point me towards a listings of roads that had these cars?

Thanks,

Guys;



The Alco Models well flat I have seen labeled as the "Greenville Well Hole"
looks very much like a PRR F33. It has been ages since I saw one, but that
was what it looked like. I cannot vouch for its accuracy, since I never had
the opportunity to sit down and really examine one. I would also very much
like to see some photos.



Thanks,



Elden Gatwood

I thought it resembled a C&O car which was also done as a craftsman
kit by Quality Craft IIRC. F&C makes a one piece resin body kit of
the PRR F33.

Scott,

Yep - sure looks like a PRR F33 flat.

http://prr.railfan.net/freight/freightphotos.html? photo=PRR_470011_F33_E11327_34view.jpg&fr=clF33

Because this car was built by Greenville to a PRR design, it is possible that other railroads used the design as well. Due to the specialized nature of the car, it could be seen anywhere a large load needed to be delivered...

The F33 was covered in TKM #40, which if you have not been downloading, is available on CD from the PRRT&HS. The car is offered in resin in HO by F&C, so that might be the best place to go for decals.

The C&O Greenville 90750-series deep-well flat had 11 vertical ribs on the sides.
