New Railfan

Hello
I’m a new fan to this hobby of model trains and train watching. My main interest for now is the sclair covered hopper car. I have worked with these cars for over twenty-five years. The cars are getting old and one by one they are being retired. I am trying to put together some photo’s of trains from around North America with these cars in them. It’s like looking for a needle in a hay stack but I have found a few. If you have any photo’s you would be willing to let me use on a web page and in a slide show I would greatly appreciate. The graphics on this car was unique enough to have a photo placed on page 971 of the 1997 issue of the Car and Locomotive Cyclopedia.

Thank You.

Welcome too the hobby…sorry I dont have any pics your looking for.

Sclair,

Welcome aboard!

In case you haven’t yet, hop on over next door to the TRAINS forum and make post a similar thread. I’m a regular over there too. Some of the guys there have loads of photos and may be able to help you.

Nice to have you onboard. Looking forward to your posts.
