Can someone give me the width and height of a 1930’s era standard gauge 40’ wooden boxcar?
Thanks

Man, if there is a link in there to “standard gauge rolling stock” it is hidden from me.
Hey John,
Talk to me on Thursday when you come over I have an entire encyclopepia with drawings on old rolling stock.

Sure…
John,
I can scan some diagrams from the ‘Train Shed Cyclopedia’ from 1898 and 1931 (those are the ones I have). Email me if you are interested.

Ken,
I know what it means, don’t have to ask.
Another answer would be that “its all done with mirrors”

8’6" to 9’ on the average, H & W. on 20-30’s era wooden boxcars.
