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.

rdg-barry OFFLINE Road Foreman of Engines Posts: 378 Thank you received: 44	OK... stopped by the local mom-pop hobby store and found a ford C cab box truck to make that MoW truck found on the last page! Also found a package of the Magasun solid cast Ford Econoline vans! Yes, the same one's I used to make the two MoW vans!! I don't need more, but couldn't pass these up... anyone want/need them? Will part with them for a decent price!

rdg1187prr OFFLINE Conductor Posts: 197 Thank you received: 38	Anyone seen the latest add in Model Railroader for Classic Metal Works? There is a photo of a 1960's style Ford truck grill and a mention of new things to come. So could we be seeing in the near future those trucks we need to model the RDG Co and RTCO trucks? John Caples
