Hi Dave:

  Quick question on the HC's,  if I may. I have the Michael Spoor CB&Q color guide. All of the HC1-A's and B's are mineral red or black, and then are painted grey in the group of 450 rebuilt in 1968 (starting at road #182250) as "HC1-C's". If the Intermountain models represent a 1961 build, why are they not in this volume? I realize that some cars ARE missed in various volumes, but I was surprised to find out about these models and see them missing in the Spoor book. Thank you!

Chris

I received word last night that InterMountain has shipped our limited edition run of the Q’s HC-1 hoppers in grey with the placard herald.  The built date on these cars is 4-61 and we’ve run six numbers, two with return stenciling.

Awesome news Dave! I just ordered three! I was really excited to see the two cars stenciled for Return to Oregon, IL since I model Oregon.

These cars that Dave is selling were numbered CB&Q 181900-182249 and built at Havelock in 1961. For those wondering what they might have carried, besides sand. the wheel reports for CB&Q trains 97 on 06-04-1966 and 07-02-1966 have seven of these cars listed (one on the 06-04-1966 train 97 and six on the 07-02-1966 train 97). Here is the list and loads:

Train 97 06-04-1966
CB&Q 181979 Loaded 50 tons CLAY Station: Savanna  Destination: Ranville, MI  Consignee: The Hanna Mining Co.

Train 97 07-02-1966
CB&Q 181907 Loaded 50 tons CLAY Station: Minnesota Tfr MN  Destination: Norshore Jct, MN  Consignee: Reserve Mining Company
CB&Q 181941 Loaded 50 tons CLAY Station: Minnesota Tfr MN  Destination: Emco, MN             Consignee: Erie Mining
CB&Q 182097 Loaded 40 tons CLAY Station: Minnesota Tfr MN  Destination: Norshore Jct, MN  Consignee: Reserve Mining Company
CB&Q 182179 Loaded 50 tons CLAY Station: Minnesota Tfr MN  Destination: Norshore Jct, MN  Consignee: Reserve Mining Company
CB&Q 182240 Loaded 50 tons CLAY Station: Minnesota Tfr MN  Destination: Negaunee, MN      Consignee: Empire Mine
CB&Q 182244 Loaded 50 tons CLAY Station: Minnesota Tfr MN  Destination: Norshore Jct, MN  Consignee: Reserve Mining Company
 
This would have been bentonite clay for making taconite pellets:

To process taconite, the ore is ground into a fine powder, the magnetite is separated from the gangue by strong magnets, and the powdered iron concentrate is combined with a binder such as bentonite clay and limestone as a flux. As a last step, it is rolled into pellets about 10 millimeters in diameter that contain about 65% iron. The pellets are fired at a very high temperature to harden them and make them durable.
