N / New N Scale Ore Hopper.

Looking at the pictures in the catalog and those that people have posted from the convention, it would appear that the under frame may be backwards to the body.  Namely, the brake cylinder should be on the same side as, and 'pointing' towards the brakewheel.

Which version would you like?

The version with the short booster.

Nn3 runs on Z gauge track. No real need for Nn30. Would just make things more complex and the difference in 6" in gauge is hardly noticable.

Except Z scale track isn't 36" in N scale.  It scales out to ~41".  So a true 30" gauge would certainly stand out.

Dear All,
The car is an AAR 1937 standard steel boxcar, original plans for which are in Mr. Riley's collection.
Have fun!

I've seen drawings for 1937 AAR cars, and I've seen pictures of the various end panel configurations.  I can't say I've ever seen this one. And in fact, it would appear to be closest to a Pullman Standard PS-1 end which wasn't around until 1947.


Can anyone provide a photo, drawing or link showing this particular roof/end combination?
