B&O Wagontop


Marty McGuirk
 

Gene,

If the lettering you're referring to is a small round "T" in a circle to the left of the number that indicates the car is suitable for B&O LCL "T"imesaver service.

So it wouldn't have been on every car.

Three of the B&O M53 box cars show up on the Landmesser hot box list so I "need" some. I immediately pulled out RP CYC #9 to compare FVM illustrations with the photos in the M53 article. It appears to me that the as-delivered scheme is missing a small round emblem to the left of the door. What am I missing?

Walt Lankenau asked:
"Question: the announcement shows two of the earlier paint schemes with a
brownish body color, and the later large "B&O" scheme looks more reddish, like
oxide red. Did B&O change the body color at some point?"

Yes, in the manner that you describe.

Excellent! We've heard rumblings about an injection molded wagontop on this list for a while, now. Question: the announcement shows two of the earlier paint schemes with a brownish body color, and the later large "B&O" scheme looks more reddish, like oxide red. Did B&O change the body color at some point?

It's not on the FVM web site as of this morning, but apparently details are included on the FVM Facebook page - which is something I can't access from work.



Thought someone on this list may want to check it out.
