General

Although the layout is set in Sept. 25th, 1950, the rolling stock has a four-year-window, from the start of 1950 to the end of 1953. However, we have been expanding our research as far back into the 1800's as possible, and as far forward as we can.

• HO Scale Rolling Stock Kit Guide

• As a quick reference, some of the highlights of our Freight Car Paint Schemes are excerpted in this section.

• Balancing a roster - A look at overall numbers to get some sense of general proportions. (Yes, individual traffic patterns determined specific movements of freight cars, but this sort of like the "background radiation".)

• Prototype color photos from Clark Propst's collection.

• Freight Car Mailing list - Tim O'Connor said to send a message with subject: "subscribe" to freightcars-request@sunny16.photo.tntech.edu Richard Hosker is the list moderator and owner.

• Check our Glossary for a little background on the owners or lessees of freight cars (Kahn's Meats, Englehard Chemicals), as well as information about various types of freight car components (Improved Dreadnaught Ends, Allied Cushion Trucks), names of specific freight car types (Van Dyke Tank Cars, Seley Hoppers), even the chemicals carried in tank cars and covered hoppers.
