Hey all. I'd like to make my own HO-scale version of the Canadian National (CN) white trailer fleet, or "camp vans" that were used in the 1970s and early 1980s. They sat on black flatcars as part of a MOW fleet. Does anyone know where I can information about these things? I'd like to include a picture of one but not sure how to do that.

A good place to start would be the CN Historical Association at www.cnrha.ca
I believe this is the general idea the OP is looking for: **

Yes! That's exactly the type I was referring to. Thank you! Where on the flatcar is the length of the flatcar itself? Also, how do you identify the difference between a kitchen car, a dining car, or an office car? Any help is appreciated.

The car in Ed's picture is a diner, but other than the label, I would have no idea how to identify it.

The length of this one is 40'6" (just to the left of the white-outlined box).
Clicking on the photo should yield a bigger image...
My guess is that the boxcar, at left, is the electrical power generator for the rest of the train.
