Re: [CBQ] Two announcements!

Hi Dennis,

 

The BRHS is in fact, moving to print on demand for issues that are out of print.  If you recall, we recently ran a survey and the Denver Shops issue was the issue selected as the next to be done.  The board has decided to work our way forward and will get to these issues soon.  Just need the time to do them.

Dave:

 

You brought up a great point. For certain that BRHS Bulletin #20 on CB&Q covered hoppers is totally comprehensive on the hopper fleet. With the recent production of the Intermountain 1958 cf HC-1 Burlington and C&S hoppers it would be ideal to have that Bulletin available to modelers.

The same can be said for the comprehensive treatise on Burlington business cars, Bulletin #17. This issue has also been out of stock for quite awhile. Again, with the production of CB&Q business cars by North Bank Line that are to be delivered by years’s end (The stainless steel sheathed rebuilt heavyweight Roundup and two versions of the heavyweight #100, the original 1950’s silver shadow lined version and the 1969 solid silver version) it would be interesting for modelers to have the Bulletin on these cars.

 

I for one have been unsuccessful in finding a Bulletin #17 and would desperately like to have that edition.

 

Brass importers North Bank Line is currently planning on producing several additional runs of business cars with the potential to produce additional CB&Q cars.

 

In the past the BRHS would reprint Bulletin issues that were out of stock that had a high demand from members. Is there a possibility that Bulletins #17 and #20 will,be reprinted in the near future?

 

Thanks- Dennis Popish

Dave, thank you so much for the photo references! Which HC group would these then be referred to as? These are obviously quite accurate models and I need to order a pair. Appreciate the help!

Chris,

 

When Mike assembled these books, it was not always easy to find color photos in the time frame he was given to produce the book.  I’ve attached a color photo of these cars for you.  The B&W photo (which has been darkened so that the 4-61 build date can be seen is from the BRHS Burlington Bulletin #20, which unfortunately is out of print.

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!

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.
