Richard,

Since you model The SAL in 1944 I'd appreciate it if you would contact me of line. I also model 1944, but am more oriented towards the movement of material for the war industries around the eastern part of the country. I'd like to see if we can share information on freight equipment of comman interest. Accurate SAL freightcars for that period are limited, but thats improving. As far as continuing to pull the thread on meat shipment in the South for the period 1940-60, you may wish to read through the archives for the SMURF group. These are the guys that are primarily interested in the Southern area RRs. I was reading through their archives a few weeks ago. In between the discussions as to whether Memphis or Birmingham has the best barbeque ( I tend to believe the best barbeque is chopped pork cooked in eastern NC) and the merits of Krispy Kreme donuts, there is a good deal of discussion on livestock movements in the South in that time period. I believe there is some good info there and I also seem to remember someone mentioned a photo from the Florida State archives of a string of SAL stockcars.

Chalk me up as one who is interested in 1944 as well. Maybe we should start our own "1944 Prototype Railroad Modelers" Group.

Dave,

Well, we can dream, can't we? I'm possibly planning to model one or two branchlines of the NC&StL which used decapods and 2-8-0's. I banking on Bachmann's decapod to be decent. I'll have to kitbash or scratchbuild the consolidations. I doubt if I will ever have the room, or time, to model Class I mainline steam. In doing this branchline, I can (to take a lead from Ian Rice) make each freight car's appearnace be a study unto itself and shoot for some quality modeling albeit ona smaller scale in numbers of cars on the layout.
