Rich,

I think Rupert is offering his assistance to come to your layout everyday and help you backdate it.  :)

Glad to be of service!

Have you considered back-dating your time frame just slightly? Is the attached advert too early for you?

Regards

Rupert

Thanks for reminding me the Q was around before 1934 (Pioneer Zephyr.)  ;-)

On page 48 in Railway Prototype Cyclopedia volume 12 is a photo of the end of 100016, the last car of class XA-1, with twin hinged end doors. Built in 1906, all had been rebuilt by May 1922 without the end doors and were reclassified as XM-11.

Did the CB&Q have any 40' Automobile Boxcars with the split auto doors on one end?  I know that the 50' class XA-14D and XA-15A,B had them.  Thank you.
