As Rob stated, there is a full article in Bulletin #27 on track scales and
test cars.The CB&Q had 4 such cars (204738-41) built between 1916 and 1948,
with the last three - all built by Southwark as opposed to AC&F - surviving
through to BN.

> I was surfing through the photographs that I was referred to by a previous
posting here. I have subscribed to this list for several years now and
cannot recall any discussion on scale test cars. I have seen other
photographs in Burlington Bulletins before. I am curious, how many scale
test cars did the Burlington have? Also, was there only one style? Like
the one posted at:

> Another question, were the scale test cars homemade or were they purchased
from another carbuilder? It would be interesting for my Burlington mind to
know. . .
