Viking roofs
|
Tony Thompson
I was thinking through some planned car projects, and remembered (or thought I did) that sometime back there was developed here a list of all the box cars that got the “corrugated” Viking roofs. But I can’t find it. So I have two questions: is my memory correct? And if so, can anyone suggest a key word to search on? Any help appreciated.

I’m somewhat agog that my memory reaches back 35 years . . . but thanks much, Al. Just what I needed. |

Figures. That's one of about 3 issues of Mainline Modeler I do not have. :-D I don't recall any compilation of all of the cars with the Viking 'corrugated' roof. Ed Hawkins did specify the type of roof in several of his roster documents, but I don't know if anyone pulled out all of the Viking instances he shows into a single list.

I bought the C&O Historical Society DVD of all the Mainline Modelers.
Thanks!

If you are missing some, or a lot, of MM issues, the C&O Historical Society sells a CD with all of them. Doesn’t handle foldouts well, but it has the material.

I don't recall ever seeing a list. I am attaching the roster from Ed Mines’ article in the November 1986 _Mainline Modeler_ issue. This is certainly “a list” but clearly was never proof-read by anyone who knew anything about the subject. Years ago, I made the marks that you see here, but I don’t claim the remainder is without fault. Still, there is a lot of info here. Comments invited. Tony Thompson  |

Here's a start. It's not complete; I need to track down Erie's double-door cars and the NKP 87000 series.

I have a USB CD/DVD drive. Works fine for my laptop on the rare occasions I need it. Also works on a desktop. Does not seem to be platform specific (drivers available for either MacOS or Windows). Under $40. - Jim in the PNW |

David,
Here is a link to NWHS archives based on a search of "Viking." It appears several classes of N&W boxcars had Viking roofs; also note the first entry provides the numbers for the NKP cars. https://www.nwhs.org/archivesdb/listdocs/select.php?index=search&Searchword=Viking Jim |

I am researching the C&O rebuilt single door 12392-12999, 13000-13135 & double door box cars 12000-12168,13558-13828. These cars were built with 2 different roofs depending on the series. Some were Murphy Radial while others are Viking roofs. They were originally built for the Hocking Valley in 1924-1925. I have a number of photos of these cars that show either radial or flat roofs, but none showing the the actual Viking roof from above. What I am wondering is when did the Viking corrugated roofs come out? Would these have been an earlier Viking roof as shown in these pages from the 1925 Car Builder Cyclopedia? |
