Subject: [BRHSlist] 34' box car
I have been asked by a model kit manufacturer what the interest in a 34'
CB&Q boxcar would be. So I am asking the list how many would be
interested in one or more Q 34' boxcars.
I don't believe I would be interested, but this brings up a question: I have
the impression that the Q changed to 40' boxcars at a fairly early date. Does
anyone have info on this?
(On the other hand, the Q stayed with 34' stock cars until 1938, possibly
because of the fixed investment on stock loading pens built to that standard
door spacing)
