Information wanted on the concrete Dispatchers Phone boxes that were along the Mainlines of the CGW?
Q: I am trying to determine a good source for HO Scale decals to letter several Walthers/Rivarossi 60′ “mainline” coaches, combines, and baggage cars. I am modeling the late-40s/early-50s time period. I recently ordered several Champ PH-21D C&NW Passenger Car Standard Dulux Gold Lettering sets…but they do not seem to match either the font or the bright yellow color that I’ve seen in photos and on the lettered Rivarossi cars. Could you please tell me a source of decals to letter a late-1940s CNW 60′ coach? Andy A: Q: I am interested in occasional passenger travel on the NorthWestern between Omaha and Valentine in north-central Nebraska. I have been unable to find passenger train schedules. The years I’m interested in are 1900 into the 1940s. Jon A: We have those schedules, but we don’t have every year in the period you mention. You probably want sample schedules. We can copy them for a small fee. Joe Q: I am planning on having either an A-B-A F3 or A-B-A F-7 set painted in C&NW colors
