Re: [CBQ] Revell flat car

[Kenneth Martin <kmartin537@surewest.net>]

Richard,

The article is in the November 1987 Model Railroaading. It is an article on upgrading the Con-cor flat. In the article it does not identify a prototype but says it is similar to CB&Q, CGW, NKP AND C&O  cars. Howwever the model ir 54' long and the RR cars are 53'6".

This would make them close to a FM-14 (89,900-89,249, 92,000-92,349)

Over on the Steam Era Freight Cars list there is a discussion going on about the prototype for the Revell/Con-Cor flat car. Bill Welch posted this:

"If this is the same tooling that Con-Cor used, then it is very close if not actually a CB&Q flat. I used the Con-Cor model to build a CB&Q car based on an article somewhere, mainly removing cast-on details and replacing them with stand off grabs, sturdy metal sill steps, etc and weathering the deck. This was in the early or mid-1990s."

No one has yet come up with the referenced article.

 

Can anyone on this list add any enlightenment?
