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.

Oh Jeff... YES... a Z28 Supervisors car would be way-cool... but knowing what I've read on how frugal the Reading was... would have never happened!
There is always rule 1.... "it's my railroad"  |

WOW... just saw a Reading pick-up truck, right here in Michigan!!!
What... don't believe me... check it out... OK, ok... so it doesn't have the nice RDG sign.... but I'd say it's near a perfect match as possible, even the color!

Hey Jeff... back to your suggestion... is this what you were referring to??
 found this while searching for Ford pick-up models that match the MoW one's in this post. Nothing available, so to model those pick-ups would be a small challenge. The Camaro is the same as the one's I have, made by Brikina in Europe. |

I went to the Hagley Museum and this is some of the info. I found there. see attachment:
RTCO owned 86 tractors in 1967. I do not know the difference between a Mack D or a Mack G type tractors. Also a White D and White G is listed. Could that be dual and single axle trucks???? Anyone want to guess? Or am I totally off base here? Also note the 12 White trucks and the 12 aluminum bodies. (delivery box van I assume). Sure would kill to see a photo of one! Also in 1973 they bought 3 - 45 foot trailers. No mention of course of the number or builder. I believe that they were used trailers. John
