No, Southern Had no 40 ft OB boxcars.

Thanks,that would be great as I went through the archives, all the coach files and couldn’t find a clue, but my wife says that about me I look but don’t see and listen but don’t hear. Probably a husba

I'm probably not an in depth researcher as y'all but I was trying to put together a book on the SR smooth side rebuilds and one mystery I could never find was what coach did the Hayne shop use to make

I think this is interesting and appreciate your sharing it. Thank you Fenton

JC if you are on this list could you email me at <srrfan1401@...> thanks Fenton

Unfortunately that's not my beautiful collection of Southern locos

My choice is Scale Coat Southern Green, I for brass and II for plastic Fenton

Someone published this back in the day if I have time I’ll look Fenton

Yes they were called dulux gold. That lasted much better on the cars and locomotives that the gold leaf Fenton

I’ve had good luck with K4 but admit I’m not the go to guy on the accuracy of prototype vs decal lettering. I’ll have to scope out the K4 SR offerings Fenton

Good shots Kevin, thanks for sharing. I had not seen the units on the streamline cars so this is interesting. Thanks Fenton

Regarding the early pulpwood rack conversions I was wrong on my first dates. Here is a spreadsheet from my pulpwood clinic Southern Ry Pulpwood Racks - Flat car conversions Car No. Series No. of Cars

Ike I think lots of modelers would. From what I’ve found SR started building pulpwood racks from the 115XXX, 117XXX flat cars in the 1920’s. By the late 1940’s and 1950’s I doubt much SR pulpwood move

If you google pulpwood you will see many boxcars loaded with pulpwood like attached. Fenton

I thinkI still have the original slides and can provide a tiff image if needed. Fenton

Paul, I don't know if this will help but I took these photos in the Fall of 1984 on a trip to Saluda. You may use them if they will help your article Fenton

Are these the P2K kits? The first SR 50 ft DD boxcars were 10'-0" IH and you have to kit bash these. Theo others can be made with the P2K kit see attached chart. Also attached is a photo of 2 50 boxca

Don't know I don't have any Fenton

Bob is correct they were V shaped with drain slots in the bottom of the drain.

Gentlemen, that is in fact a pulpwood rack coupled to the PS-1. It is one of the racks built in Spencer in the early 1950's from the SR 40 double sheathed automobile furniture cars.
