In the mid to late 60s way cars in local service still used oil lamps in some instances

John,
 
Thanks again for your reply regarding the interior of waycars.
 
In your last response you mentioned the use of oil lamps.  Did the old wood waycars continue to use oil lamps even into the 50's and 60's?  Or were they updated with generators for electricity by that time?
 
Can you recall the location of the oil lamps or electric lights in the old wooden waycars?
 
Thanks,  Later,  Dave Sarther       Tucson, AZ

On some waycars, yes. Also, it was applied behind and over the oil lamps.

John, Leo and dhartman,
 
Thanks for your replies.  Some great ideas for realistic "stuff" to add to a waycar build. 
 
Do any of you recall if there was any steel sheeting applied to the walls or floor around the stove area?

John, just adding to the list. For me it's now been almost 33 years(man how time flies) since I swung onto or off a waycar but as you can see it's like yesterday.

I forgot about all that stuff. I was working off the top of my head and it has been many a day since even thought about these things!

Don't forget the mandatory chain or steel cable for tieing things together when they came undone. One never left the terminal w/o a chain,at lease one E and a F knuckle,hammer,chisel,bailing wire,rags,packing hook,journal oil,journal box coolant,spare air hoses,air hose wrench, all the extra flagging equip.,markers and their fuel,etc,broom,mop,a full tank of oil or coal for the stove,forms in the desk,ice in the ice box. In winter it was imperitive to put a soup can of water on the stove to act as a humidifier.It also was smart to tape the leading door jam with tape or wet paper towels. Yes they worked.
 
If these things weren't on the car at the terminal in pool waycar days you went to the supply point and the carman(helper) there would bring them to you. In assigned waycar days it's my understanding it was the rear brakemans job to find these items and secure them.
 
As to system map if you call a pinup a map then that was what you had one. Don't ever recall a w/c with a true company issued map on the wall.
