Taking a Ride on the REAL Reading

RDG CO Maint. of Way Vehicles

What's the difference between a GP40-2 and GP39-2? What year did the Reading dieselize? How many tracks were in Rutherford Yard? This board focuses on a discussion of questions or issues concerning the "prototype" Reading Company and its predecessors. While the aim of this board is to serve as a resource for prototype information for modeling purposes, general discussion and sharing of knowledge is also encouraged.

JoannaBill OFFLINE Road Foreman of Engines Posts: 422 Thank you received: 63	Chris, truck tractors were blue, but I haven't located any photos, yet. If you can find a copy of the 1964, Annual report, there is a truck and trailer on the cover. Trailers were aluminum skinned, with a blue "Reading" diamond. I have some photos that include trailers which I'll try to post later. Also, here is another M-O-W truck.

VCtrainmaster OFFLINE Engineer Posts: 106 Thank you received: 12	John, The White can be modeled in HO using a sylvan models kit. And of course athearn or the older metal leetown for the Mack. But where can we get the door decals? Good one for Tom's list of decals
