Re: Found a way to make your own customized ticket dater
Those roll over date stamps have the years as a single stamp, and only in a tight timeframe from when it was made. In other words, any stamp you buy today will probably have 2023 to about 2030 or so.

Re: [bbfcl] Southern Tobacco Hogshead cars
Yes to “1965”.
The “problem” with these cars is they were not a single design, blt. date or carbuilder. (Someone had plans to produce an HO model. SRHA provided the drawings, then pffft, nada.

Re: Found a way to make your own customized ticket dater
But with the date stamps you can roll over the numbers like the ones with the 6 digits.
So 2 for day 2 for month and 2 for yr

The only problem with date stamps is that they're all for current times and how almost nobody models today...

Southern OC-21 at TVRM
Work on Southern OC-21 (It has been “hiding” as NS-8) at TVRM is progressing nicely. Adding HEP piping over the “new” swing hanger trucks took a while to get right but the work has progressed

When were railroads required to re-number cars from revenue if used in non-revenue service?
The Southern, and I expect other roads, did not change the road numbers when “revenue” freight cars were permanently assigned to non-revenue services until around 1955. (Many kept their original
