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.

Bill... nice wreak train car pictures... what era were these used as shown in the yellow/green paint. Maybe I'd model these if it fits 1970.
Thanks,
Barry

Barry:

I'm not certain on the repaint dates. Check Bossler's Color Guide if you have it. If not let me know.

For the benefit of Mr. Bill.......
Hill - between Heister Lane and Kutztown Rd. taken after the Low Grade cave-in and some in 1999, and lastly my interpretation, obviously a work in progress (or resurrection if you will)

Nice! Thanks for the memory confirmation Rob. So, how many layout sections were you able to salvage through all your moves? Be neat to see them get put together again.
