GM&O Naperville handout minikit


Andy Carlson
 

Those who attended Naperville this year received a mini-minikit consisting of decals, instructions and a ladder forming jig for the GM&O '37 AAR 9 rung ladder, single door boxcar.

On the way to my return air flight, I stopped with Al Ferguson and Tim O' Connor to photograph a surviving GM&O car which was conveniently located within 2 miles of Midway airport.

I can send a digital photo of a close-up of the 9 rung ladder to anyone requesting it. Please make the request off-list at <midcentury@...>

Ed's post reminded me that there were 2 orders of these cars. The car I have photographed was built in 1942, based on the foundry lettering on the trucks.
