Rockford Interurban Railway

[ScaleCraft]

at least I think that's it. I have a cast aluminum depressed center flat, two truck style, looks like Pullman Green, with those decals and no road number. There could be a "&" between Rockford and Interurban.

I did look it up, there was such, but not seeing without scads of reading, where they did freight.

I'm thinking to retain lettering. The deck is getting repainted today, somebody Goo-ed something on the deck, scraped the Goo off, cleaned it up, primed (mainly lower deck) and masked.

Anybody got any photos of such a beastie on the R&URW?

BTW, no trucks, one dummy coupler (obtained at the price I was willing to give....free)....so a set of three rail trucks and dummy 3-rail couplers fit into boxes (also free). Not gonna use it for revenue, just gonna have it.

I have enough complete cast aluminum depressed center cars in 2-rail, this was a gimme.

Hmmm, same here, I probably have at least twenty (or more) depressed-center flats but that includes three of the Lionel four-truckers; two were converted to single four-axle trucks under each end. One car has Buckeyes and the other Commonwealths; the third retains the original configuration (plus the transformer) but with two-rail wheels and KDs. With the exception of one scratch-built car, the rest are split between the All-Nation and Walthers versions. Oh, and why, oh why, did I just fish three more out of the 'bay?

I had 1 and sold it. Now I have enough.

They keep falling into my lap...or multiplying in boxes...or something. Every time I get a box of junk, there's another one.

Oh, man, don't tempt me. I have a bunch of A-N cast, two of the longer Walthers, and three scratch or semi scratch. I am sure you have seen my eight and twelve axle cars. If not, apparently I can post photos here again!

[J. S. Bach]

Please do.

[bob turner]

Okay. But somebody call me out if I am overloading our new privilege of uploading. The first is heavy brass plate, topped with .020 brass sheet and rivet detail. The next is a modified A-N with ATSF tender Buckeyes. I think I have one of an operating steam pump and another of my $1000 BMW blower motor armature. Nope on those two, so I offer my track cleaning car. Holding my breath for the photos to appear:

Too bad. It worked two days ago.
