Ken,
Thanks for the list! Now if someone will fill in any missing information, I'll
at least know what I'm missing.

Nelson,
I don't remember seeing you ask but that may just be me, anyway.
I have attached a list of BRHS Data Sheets that I have and I believe I have
them all.

Gerald,
Very few data sheets are still available for sale, and I have those, plus all
the other ones that have been available over the past three years.
Unfortunately, most of the data sheets were out of print before I joined BRHS
and started learning about the Q so I could build a layout based upon prototype
standards. I can’t get a complete list of the data sheets that were published,
though I’ve asked on the list and privately many times. I have repeatedly
offered to scan the data sheets to pdf to post on the BRHS web page for
download or burn them to a CD-ROM disk. Apparently, the board isn’t interested
in making these materials available. Meanwhile, BRHS membership declines.
I’ve accessed documents on other railroad historical society web sites that
have been very helpful to me while building resin kits of other road’s rolling
stock, and I think it’s a crime to refuse to reissue the CB&Q freight car data
sheets as a modeling aid as well as for historical interest. If the BRHS has
any hope of attracting new members that are also modelers, the society needs to
provide them with some incentive to join. Refusal to electronically publish out
of print documents is self-defeating, and if the board thinks that prospective
Q modelers are going to buy documents from the archives, they are deluding
themselves.
