Try to get one for about the year you are modeling. If you don't have one. Some people on ebay sell copies on CD's that you can purchase. John Caples

NJWG OFFLINE Apprentice Posts: 7	Thanks alot, I'll look for one. I found a website that has a bunch of ORER's for anthracite roads but not for the Reading. (go figure) The Lehigh Valley lists them as gondolas with air activated containers. I dont know if they were used for anything other than cement.
