Gene, I for one would enjoy seeing whatever you have be posted to this group. In particular, I don't know if you have information on the BTL fleet, such as actual truck and tractor year/make/model info and trailer year/make/model info. (e.g., The July 1967 ORER shows 1231 Burlington trailers in 19 number series, 342 containers in 3 number series, and 212 chassis in 4 number series.) I model in HO the late 60's, so I am always interested in detailed info of what was owned by the Q and also BTL at the time. It helps to find prototypical models or encourage the model manufacturers to do one. As a side note to everyone, would BTL have had a presence in Savanna? e.g., were Burlington piggybacks and others unloaded at Savanna? (I believe Savanna had a piggyback ramp, though I am not sure exactly where in the yard it was located.) If so, would BTL tractors have been used? I guess while we are at it, were all Burlington piggyback trailers considered BTL and vice-versa, or were there different trailers for BTL and Burlington in general? BTL photos I have seen sow just the "generic" BURLINGTON marked trailers. I guess I never thought of how all this interaction worked, but hopefully this sparks a good and productive discussion.
