Re: [CBQ] FW: [STMFC] CLASSIC METAL WORKS NEEDS PROTOTYPE INFORMATION

Hi Rupert.  

Thanks for the email.  I will send them a message.  I have seen lists of MOW vehicles prior to 1960 and the more I look, the more comfortable I am saying they probably had some 1960 Ford pick ups and/or medium duty stake trucks.  I've also seen Ford stake trucks later than 1960.  My only question would be what color they were painted.  The only 2 colors I've seen are orange or dark green.  Most of the pictures I've seen are the dark green.

I have a 1951 mechanical dept. standard vehicle drawing.  It shows the placement of the herald and lettering for cars and trucks.  It does not indicate vehicle color however.

I should have added the e-mail address for replies billg@classicmetalworks.com

Other than inspection vehicles, we’ve had very little in the Bulletins and Zephyrs about the Burlington’s motor vehicle fleet, although I believe “someone” is researching BTL!

Hello Rupert,

 

I noticed CMW has the 1960 Ford pick up and medium duty trucks as an upcoming model.  From the few pictures of MOW trucks I have not seen one with that style cab.  Again from the few background photos I've seen, I can verify that the MOW fleet had Ford, Chevy and International pick ups and medium duty trucks.  If someone has evidence of these trucks and their unit numbers I do have some official CB&Q MOW truck door blueprints.
