Group,
As a “budding” prototype modeler that is accumulating knowledge on freight car appliances and components to improve fidelity in my model builds, I always appreciate the discussions around these subjects. I must admit that some nuances of car end variations are still a challenge. Is there a readily accessible, illustrated, reasonably comprehensive guide to car ends using “IDE” 1 or 2 and similar terms? Piecing some of this together from message threads and articles but still searching for a Rosetta Stone! (Rich Remiarz did a great job explaining the two examples above in his recent posts and GNRHS articles, so I “get” those two) -- Cheers Jeff Helm |

Jeff, Richard Hendrickson did a nice article in MRH on boxcar ends and if you google Boxcar ends it should come up. Enjoy Fenton On Fri, Oct 21, 2022 at 11:00 AM Jeff Helm <jeff.helm.60@...> wrote: Group, --

Thanks Fenton, I checked Google as well as the MRH TOC search tool and the only article that comes up is one by Richard Bale from October 2014, which has a sort of general evolution of boxcar ends. It does not delve into many variations. For Richard Hendrickson, his article on trucks and one on tank cars, but nothing else. I will keep on searching.

https://forum.mrhmag.com/post/modelers-guide-to-box-car-ends-12198160 ; should do it. I can't find my copy right now. I filed it in a really good place evidently.
