[CBQ] Re: freight car diagram books

["Douglas Harding" <doug.harding@iowacentralrr.org>]

Dale, a number of railroad equipment diagram books have been made available
by Allen Stanley raildata@yahoo.com through his Railroad Data Exchange. He
has collected and digitized a large number of railroad based publications
and equipment diagrams, including locos, freight cars and passenger cars.
The Railroad Data Exchange is an on-going effort to gather together
prototype information about railroads all over North America so that it
might be shared with others. Contributions are always rewarded with
information from the collection if desired. A copy of the collection list,
an Excel spreadsheet, can be had at any time for the asking.

 

A word of caution, RR freight car diagram books seldom have enough detail to
allow construction of a detail model. And few that I have seen offer much if
anything about underframe construction.

 

Allen's spreadsheet list shows almost 4000 items, including 20 for the CB&Q.
