AC&Y 1400-1466 series gondolas
|
Bob Weston
The Akron, Canton and Youngstown railroad owned 67 gons in the series 1400-1466 These were 40' cars rated for 40 tons. I'm trying to determine when they first appeared on the AC&Y but have no ORERs. Can someone possibly help me here? Thanks! Bob Weston

Not listed as of Sept 1919 (October ORER). 31 cars listed in series 1400 -1463 in 1925. At least it narrows it a bit.

The cars appear in the October 1926 ORER (1400-1463, 31 cars). Sadly, I don't have an ORER between 11/1917 and 10/1926. Ray Breyer Elgin, IL

Hi Bob and List Members,
Listed as series 1403-1463, 29 cars in 12-1930
ORER
Note than in this ORER, the series NO LONGER STARTS
with 1400! Perhaps that indicates that cars 1400-1402 were no longer in
existance. Perhaps it also indicates that maybe car 1403 really DOES still
exist within this series at that date

Acy1400 -1466 "installed" 12-1919.
1400 was converted to x986 tie car in April 1930. 1401 1402 and 30 others were sold/transferred to Columbia steel shafting Pittsburg in July 1920.

Are there any reasonably accurate ho scale models of these gondolas?
Somewhere I read that Tichy made a gondola of this prototype but I think the ACY Gon had more panels than the model but I am not sure. Can anyone confirm that the Tichy model is correct? Marc

Tichy model is not correct for this car. Tichy has 9 panels while the AC&Y car has 11.
