I want to model this - what car ?

[Puddington]

I shot this in Calgary's CP Alyth yard.... and I want to model it (sans the graffiti)



It appears to be a Hawker Sidley Canadian grain car but I'm not sure.... anyone care to provide some advice about what RTR car I might start with (I actualy have Pillsbury decals)

Thanks !

I'm thinking this (the cylindrical) is probably closest:

Vaguely reminds me of an Intermountain round hopper.

Don't even need the decals, just the patch

Mike:

I would suggest sending your photo to Dan at NARC/PWRS - he is very familiar with the spotting features for the different builders of these cars.  The Intermountain car is the NSC variant; the NARC model is the HSC version.

I think it is a Marine Industries 4650.

Yep, so the correct answer is "none of the above" (NARC - Hawker-Siddeley or Intermountain - NSC).

So pick your favourite stand in. Intermountain has an advantage here in that they do tons of stand in/foodie paint jobs on their NSC cylindrical, so they have Pilsbury in their lineup.
