Looking through my older photos recently I came across these cars that I had photographed with the hope of modeling them some day... I am trying to get some more info on the cars to at least start planning the models. Many of the earlier photos were taken with my 126 camera, sorry for the poor quality. I will be adding more as time permits. Any info sent to me about the cars will be added to the pages. Click on the thumbnails to see a larger image.
Thanks,
Tom

SCPX 5830 was photographed in York, PA at the Conrail Yard in 1980 or 1981. I have never seen another one like it. Anybody have any info on this unusual covered hopper?

This bi-level rack with corrugated side panels would be a nice project based on one of the Walther's flats. I am looking for photos of similar cars for more details.

This all Conrail auto rack was photographed at Enola in 1980 or 1981. It looks like a tri-level, I can't make out the number on the flat though. Can anybody with an ORER from one of these years look for this one?

This stock car was photographed at Harrisburg, PA in 1980 or 1981. There was a small unloading ramp near the car. I believe these cars may have been handled on some of the van trains from Chicago.
