Walthers Canadian 50' Bulkhead Flat Car

Anyone else notice that the info/instruction sheet reads " These were large cars at the time, with an area of 52’ 8 " between the bulkheads. " …Huh ?

I ordered Chooch loads " Pulpwood for Walthers 52’ cars" thinking I could trim the load to fit this 50’ car but the load is too short lengthwise for this car ! …Huh again ?

If it’s 52-8 between the bulkheads how the hell can she be a 50 footer ???

And even if its a 52 footer how come the chooch load made for Walthers 52’ cars is too short?

Maybe because we use Metric measurements here in Canada? [8D]

Speaking of which, HAPPY CANADA DAY!

Whether your standing in Canada or US or Germany … a foot is still a foot and a meter is still a meter.

Happy Canada Day back atcha !
