I replaced the trucks this morning per BC specs, and it's ready for service. Thanks Jerry.

Arrived yesterday in a box from Frankie. All metal sides, wood chassis with metal components and sprung metal trucks/wheels. Trying to figure out who made it but no luck so far. I'm assuming it was built from a kit.

The West Point car was on my radar for a long time and proved to be a difficult catch.

I've found several different GAEX cars out there, but this one in not among them. The solid yellow box below the triangle logo seems to be one of the spotting points, all the others so far have wordage reproduced in it.

Or it is in lease service by General American Car.

Maybe a little of both? I noticed on the ends it said "Chrysler Trucks". Check out this interesting article:

The GAEX box car is cool. Athearn/Bev-Bel did that scheme on some 50 footers. I need to see if I can find mine to add to this discussion.

yardmaster54: That would be great if only it was true. I have made several offers to Jones, but he has turned them all down.

umpdan31: Randy, you can upload as many as you want. At the end of your uploads, hit your back button and open Imgur again and they all should show up. Why they had to "improve" something that already was easy to use is beyond me. Progress!! Jun 11, 2024 16:44:56 GMT -5
