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.

OK, with the Ford Van pictured above and the picture of 3 trucks on page 2 of this item, plus the picture of the door decal by John... I'm going to do it!!

I have at least 2 Ford Vans very similar if not matching the photo, (for year-body style) but thay are window vans, so I'll have to fill those in and smooth out the body for it to be a panel van as shown.
I might even get to this over the weekend - it's a small project... and I'll post some pics when done.

If it comes out nice enough, I'll bring it to the Reading RR Modelers Meet in October!

Thanks,
Barry
