Greg - If not the specific car number, can anyone in this Group tell from Greg's earlier images just exactly what class ballast hopper this was and then from that what road series of numbers it would've fallen under. If we can get a specific series of numbers, then I, or another Group member, might be able to research a representative photo of such a numbered car.

To my best knowledge, CB&Q freight cars did not have any identifying numbers cast into their frames that would tell us what car this originally was.  Trucks would've been changed out at least once over its service life, so no telling there, either. Best Regards - Louis

Louis,
  We have no idea what our original number is. By the time we started restoring it, there was nothing left in the way of paint. Mostly rust and rotted wood. Looks different now. I'm not sure if there is any way to figure out what the original number was. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Greg

Greg - I can contribute the attached three-quarter side image of CB&Q 221500 taken in March 1943.

What is the original car number for the ballast hopper your group has restored? Best Regards - Louis

In Railway Prototype Cyclopedia Number 29 on pages 74 and 75, are three railroad taken photos of the MWB-14 class car 221500 from April 1943. One is a three quarters view, one is an end view, and one is an overhead view.

A paint diagram would be great. Or...if anyone has an HO scale decal set I can size it up for the stencils for the full size car. 1:87 is pretty easy to scale up. Also, I get a kick out of lettering full sized cars off their HO scale counterparts.

That’s it but tough to read all the lettering. Does anyone have a paint diagram for these cars?
