Tim, Thanks for having eagle-eyes. I've been looking in my "library" for possible Trix-matches or conversions, and I found a pretty good candidate in my "Train Shed Cyclopedia" #12. There's drawings for a tank car that pretty much matches the nominal 4000 gal Hooker cars-- and the section drawing shows walkway planking consisting of two 2x12 planks edge to edge on each side of the car to provide the frame- mounted walkays. And now I know Pennsylvania Salt had a plant in Tacoma! IAnd I now know that my assumption that all three of the Trix cars were east coast only was wrong--one of them is Penn Salt--I hope I'll be excused for the error of assuming Penn Salt was only eastern. This project is becoming quite interesting. I hope someday to turn it from talk to substance. Ed Edward Sutorik |
