BOILER LOADS

WILLIAM PARDIE
We recently had a great photo of a WP flat car with a load of BIRCHFIELD boilers posted on this list. Multiscale Digital produces thus model and Gerald Glow has the decals. Multiscale also offers a Kewanee boiler. Was there any lettering on this boiler when shipped?

Yes many did ship with signage or lettering. Here is a great gallery from the Kewanee Historical Society with several boiler loads on rail cars.

Hi Bob,
Nice photo! This is an international shipment, these CNO&TP flat cars
will end up going to Mexico!

Multiscale Digital also makes the finest scale model (my opinion) of the GE Turboencabulator that has ever been produced!

I have a photo of one of these on a raised-center flat car behind a Penn Central cab forward taken somewhere in Utah.

With a shipping weight of only 213 pounds I doubt that a flat car was required. I did notice that dimensions were not given in the handbook data … so … the Turboencabulator might be a large item of rather light material. Thinking about this … a flat car might have been necessary.

Would a PC cab-forward in Utah be in pool service and running off miles to balance the sharing? Please post the photo! Cheers & Giggles, Bill Keene Irvine, CA

All- Isn’t this discussion a month (actually 23 days) early??? Being so light, what would happen if it was run on a layout in a basement pressurized to avoid having to have the llally columns supporting the house above? Would the car float along with the helium tank cars? Charlie Vlk

But in Utah?!?!
I don't think Kennecott leased any of those from PC. <G>
