DL&W wood auto boxcars


Ken O'Brien
 

Gentlemen,

Thanks for all the info, so far. I did find my copy of the Magor book and copies of the Mainline Modeler drawings of the 40T USRA box.
I also found an article in the January 2010 RMC on kitbashing a NYC USRA-design door and a half boxcar by J.M. Johnson.

I have an original Magor drawing of the underframe arrangement for the DL&W 12800-12999 cars. It is almost an exact copy of the USRA 40-ton box car underframe.

In TS CYC 75 (reprinted from the '43 CBC), p 425, is a photo of DL&W 12394. It's a "before" picture in an article about rebuilding with steel sides.

In Kaminski's Magor book, p 80, are two builder's photos of DL&W 12929 from series 12800-12999, built 7/24.

I'm looking for info and pictures about the wood door and a half auto boxcars of the DL&W in series 12000 to 12999, built in the mid 1920's. They look like USRA double sheathed boxcars with a little extra height and 2 doors in a 10' opening.
I have a few dimensions from ORERs and a small hand full of pictures from Taber's Lackawanna series and the RPI website. Could use a few more photos and maybe a car diagram. These cars were gone by the end of WWII, since they aren't in my earliest car diagram book from 1947.

Ken, I have a print of a builder's photo from the AC&F archives which
I will scan and send off-list.
