Patrick, do they have plans for N scale release?

Joe

 

I don’t think Accurail makes any N scale.

 

"Beaver pelt" herald?

Bwhahahaha!

Nice looking car. Think a few of those would still be running in the early 1960s?

Andre

 

Don’t know, have to check walthers where I saw this quite accidentally.

 

I think most of the USRA double sheath cars were rebuilt in the late ‘30s, but maybe 700 escaped. IIRC Karl posted about it once, with a few that lasted in their original form until the late ‘50s-early ‘60s.
EDIT: http://www.frisco.org/shipit/index.php?threads/slsf-128789.1668/ early ‘70s

 

Can I change my user name to “beaver pelt” without infringing on “coonskin” Andre?
Hahahaha

 

I thought you wanted to be called "Pie Boy" LOL

Joe
