Ride height certainly needs work.OK back to the TLT discussion. Their not my era but I have been following this thread just the same. Kinda curious what kind of response anyone gets from the manufacturer.Also looks like from these shots that they are even putting on pizza cutters!!!! I can't see why anyone would tool a new car nowadays and NOT put low profile wheels on!!!!! Hope they get things right before they move on to a new car in the steam era! ;D ;D ;Jon

I recall seeing many CP boxcars in the 1980's that were acq. second hand with QC (Quebec Central) reporting marks in Toronto and environs. I wonder if any of these newsprint cars ever wore QC reporting marks... not likely.

I wonder if any of these newsprint cars ever wore QC reporting marks... not likely.Not these cars specifically. There was a series of the slightly later exterior-post newsprint cars from NSC that were delivered in QC marks and full CP Rail paint. (http://freight.railfan.ca/cgi-bin/image.pl?i=qc75206&o=cprail) These cars later went to QGRY as well. There were a whole bunch of ex-East Camden & Highlands (the orange ones with big white stripe in the middle) that were placed with QC marks, and many of those were sold to QGRY as well. Plus as Mike mentioned, a number of other scattered secondhand cars from various sources with QC marks.

The height is too high - I put on 100T accumates and they lower the car by about 18". I suspect this car should have 70T trucks though.
