This is, I think, a car kit from Tichy, representing a single sheathed wooden boxcar that has had the wood siding removed and new metal cladding added to the exterior side of the bracing. Remnants of the bracing shows at the sidesills...

Thanks Wayne.
I didn't feel like getting out my camera and taking a fresh one.
A little out-dated as it was a Christmas time picture two years ago.

Well, well, how about a PRR F33 well car?

Please show me another flat car, loaded or empty.
Sweeeeet!
I actually have never seen a depressed center heavy hauler well car Ed. And that's a heck of a large Cog it's hauling.
How many few inches does that thing ride above the rails in the center anyway?
Carry on.

I believe I read the specs on these cars and it was 4½". That may have been the even bigger Queen Mary FD2 depressed-center car. ([edit] I just checked the diagram and the car floor has a 7-5/8" clearance above the rail).
Some well cars were open on the bottom. This is actually a shop car in the photo but there were several styles of open cars.

Then another animal were the Schnabel cars where the load was actually part of the car structure. Bachmann made a pretty decent representation.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled Show Me
Regards, Ed
Wow, ... Thanks for getting back to me Ed. I find this kind of stuff really interesting.
And that picture of that bigger Cog with the guy standing next to it. Man! he does look small in comparison. I hope you don't mind I copied that one
Thanks Ed
Okay then, let's carry on with our regular scheduled program
gmpullmanPlease show me another flat car, loaded or empty.
Here's a little of both.
First the flatcar, from a Tichy kit, with the beginning of a load...
...some progress...
...getting loaded, not out of a bottle, but with the barrels from Bic pens...
...second course of pipe...
...and fully-loaded...
I still need to add some wedges, as used on pipe loads of this type, to keep things from rolling around, but the prospect of doing several cars keeps it from being at the top of my to-do list.
Please show us some more open loads, whether on open cars, or in cars with open doors.
gmpullmanThey used to make 'em BIG back in the day!
They still do. Check out the ring gear on this MAN diesel engine!
OK... back to our normally scheduled Show Me Something...
doctorwaynePlease show us some more open loads, whether on open cars, or in cars with open doors.
