Prototype drawings/photos help needed

Sorry for a late thought on this but the RPM got in the way.
I suspect the B&O ventilated M-14 car could be built by modifying the M-13 kit with vents and scratchbuilt ventilated doors.
There were 483 M-14 and M-14a cars listed in the October 1926 ORER.

These were built by the Ralston Steel Car Company and no drawings were
preserved. There is a builders photo on the Columbus Railroad web site. |

Don,
The class was last listed in the Summary of Equipment for 1927, 29 cars. They were all gone by the S of E for January 1, 1928. Regards, Bob Witt |

Built in January 1910. A different style of ventilated car. Did any of these manage to survive WW II? Cordially, Don Valentine |

It most certainly is, but it won't help research on a B&O Class M-14 ventilated boxcar that was gone well before the merger. :) Here's more information on submitting research request to the B&O Railroad Historical Society archives.

I am looking for photos and/or drawings of B&O class M-14 ventilated boxcars for the purposes of modeling same. I've not had much success with Google searches and I'm just not worldly enough to know what other resources might be available to me or how to access
them. Any and all assistance will be appreciated.
Sincere thanks and I hope to see some of you in person tomorrow in Chicagoland ! Brent ________________________________ Dr. J. Brent Greer |
