Finally a source for the angled roof vents that seem so prevalent with eastern and southeastern head-end cars!!! I'll definitely will be needing some roofs!!!
OK Joe.Now you see haw much this head end car is in demand.Getting back to my origional question. Will these cars be available in multi road numbersor will MTL make decals available so cars can be re-numbered?RickOh, and by the way, I hope you haven't forgotten about doing Canadian National in green.
"Haven't forgotten about the CN cars, we are leading off the series in a month or two ...."OK, so now you are telling me that in addition to the 8 baggage cars, I am going to be buying an untold number of CN coaches and parlor cars later this year?Dear hobby shop:Lazy model railroader looking for second job. Salary not necessary, but generous employee discount a must, and decent coffee.
.......oh it gets worse.... the 12-1 sleeper....
....so I will take your word that the green and black scheme is correct for some HW 12-1s and 10-1-2s, but those did not travel on the trains I am modeling. But they sure will look good in that scheme, regardless.Tom D
.......oh it gets worse.... the 12-1 sleeper is 99% accurate for a CN series as is the 10-1-2.....
Yah, unlike CP the CN was an user of Pullman's cars and service and when the Antitrust Suite broke up the Pullman monopoly most (but not all) of the heavyweight cars that were in use on a specific line were sold to the railroad they ran on. CN, unlike CP, picked up a lot of former Pullman sleepers.CN was pretty good at utilizing AC on their heavyweight cars but I wonder, Puddy, if you are thinking of some of the old Colonist sleepers that were converted to coaches? Some of these had their air ducts inside the clerestory roof, with some lasting until VIA in service and a number of them still in use today on tourist roads.
Now that I've seen the drawings on the MTL site I'm wondering if this is an RPO-Baggage? I'd like to see a posting of each side clearly stating the car type.
Parts for the Mail Baggage are being tooled now and I hope to have shots soon. We did an RP of the Horse car and it looks great.Joe
