I agree with Tim and Bruce.

A state-of-the-art PRR X31A is way overdue. They were seen everywhere, lasted into the 60's, were painted in a number of schemes, and numbered in the thousands right to the end. PRR modelers are quite numerous, but pretty much everyone modeling a North American railroad between the 30's and 60's should have at least one. BTW, I saw one sitting on a siding in Wyoming in the late 60's, out in the middle of nowhere. Elden Gatwood -----Original Message-----

Subject: [STMFC] Re: Missing links Armand No one has done a mass production RTR USRA single sheathed box car. Not that I think they should, but it's strange no one has done it. A ridiculously desperately needed high quality car is the PRR X31 round roof cars. And the X32 as well. You know, something to go with all those excellent Red Cabosoe X29's. A good candidate for a one railroad car would be the SLSF single sheathed cars, including the cars with replacement steel sheathing. Those cars got around the country and lasted into the 1970's. I gave up lobbying for the 1950's PC&F 40 foot plug door reefers. No one seems interested in the later 1950's... but if anyone does do it PLEASE do the ends correctly (no one ever has in plastic, resin or brass) and make them available as separate parts (I need at least 20 pairs of replacement ends) Tim O'Connor At 10/23/2009 03:10 PM Friday, you wrote: Elden,While there are many "missing links" some of the nominees arerelatively rare or are examples of regional bias.I was hoping,as a group, we could come up with a list of cars represented by either large numbers or with more universal appeal..Armand Premo. |

I lived in Laramie at the time, but this was in the middle of nowhere, literally. A siding from which nothing was visible in any direction, but dirt and weeds. Oh, and one lone X31A. Definitely not Sherman Hill! Elden Gatwood -----Original Message-----
