about real flatcars i mean.
specially, who knows the measurements of the boards the flat consists of?
how thick are they? two, three or four inches thick?
I’ve measured 2" and 3" thick ones (real inches, not 2x4 inches).
were there any patterns for the difference?
like mainline - branchline or modern - older?
Korm,
Check out a Car Builder’s Cyclopedia for the era you want. They include plans for recently built cars with measurements.
Car Builder’s Cyclopedia… tomorrow i will know about that for the second day.
thanks.
