Thanks! You guys wound me up and got me pointed ---- that's what I needed!
I've just ordered "The American Railroad Freight Car" and got all the other sites in my favorites file.
Again, thanks!

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
jawnt Help!! I have an HO layout set in the early 1900's. I have a 1922 Car Builders Encyclopedia that has the required lettering guide for 1922. What I need is a source guide for lettering about 10 years earlier ca 1910. Does anyone have any ideas?

Clover House has a lot of dry transfer sets from that era as well. He is on the net but I don't remember his address...

ALCOS4EVER"The American Railroad Freight Car" by John H. White Jr. is an excellent book. It is right in your time frame. It is a paperback book the size of the Mahattan phonebook. Check it out.

Amazon has a few used versions. Starting at $38.00. That is how I obtained my book a year ago or so. You will get references to this book from Early Rail people.

He also belongs to the below Yahoo Early Rail Groups. Both have a lot of information for the 1900 era.
Make sure to look in the Files, Photos, Links sections of those two groups if you join.

Does anyone have any ideas? Google so far has been no help --- perhaps I'm using the wrong search arguement ----
Thanks for any and all suggestions!
