That drawing was specifically for the fuel cars built in 1973 so there is some minor differences in the data. For instance, the 1962 built tanks were type ICC111A100W1, and of course, rubber

Here is a letter size copy of ACF stencil drawing 4-F-3205 of their version of the Southern 100T tank cars used in Phosphoric acid service. Ike

Certainly, discussions of today's systems, like Norfolk Southern and CSX will be expected. The main hurdle here is gaining the support of the various historical societies. I expect many will simply

Jack: As the Southern-ACL interchange was in Tifton, GA. The MTs would have to get there via B’ham (on the NA) or through Chattanooga then through Rome and Atlanta to Tifton the GS&F. Did you ever

All of the general arrt and detail drawings for both the ACF and GATX versions are in the SRHA archives. The Gen Arr’ts and stencil drawings are scanned. I am just back from this weekend’s

James, When it could cover the past and the present it would be great. Gino Damen The Netherlands

All, I did not make it to Saltville to see the 4-4-0 locomotive, but thanks for letting me know it is there. It looks like I have forgotten come back here and share the photos I took at the

Does anyone know if the H24-66s ever worked on the St. Louis line?

Yes, it is available: http://shpws.me/OO8B It's set up for truck spacing of approximately 5.1" and an overall length of 6.54". Again, that's based on the article where the author took two inches of

Ryan, These tanks are roughly 14,500 gallons, so the principles of the kitbash would not change, but there would be a bit more material to remove. The saddles are the same design as well. Is the

I wonder how the returning empties were handled?

I don't know if they are the same as the Southern tank cars, but Burlington Northern inherited several 19,000 gallon tank cars from Northern Pacific. Many of them were converted to fuel tenders in the

> Does anyone have a general arrangement diagram for these cars? The full length center sill and welded construction are definitely a unique features that could be modeled. I know SOU 992454 at

Yes, I was hoping a forum covering the South as a whole would be a good idea.

Are you talking about a forum for modeling railroads of the southern US and not just the Southern Railway? If so I think that would be a good idea. -- Ryan Harris Fort Worth, TX

I've enjoyed the info as well. This is probably the one Southern mainline I know the least about. I don't recall ever seeing an article about it in the railfan press (Trains, R&R, CTC Board, etc).

Thank you for the information everyone. As I say, I'm not quite modelling the L&N. I'm modelling a scenario where the NC&StL managed to acquire the St. Louis & Southeastern rather than the L&N, and

James, As others have mentioned the Ms class Mikes were used on the branches and at least from Huntingburg to Princeton on the main line as Princeton was the main shop for that division. One of those

A few more UBI’s: I’m pretty sure the routing on ACL was Lakeland to High Springs and DuPont to Waycross then on to Jesup. I was told that they were rubber lined for phosphoric acid service. I
