Prototypes for N scale passenger cars, and
some complete trains
by Fred Klein
Part 1: Wood
and Heavyweight steel cars; purpose of this effort; books
Part 2:
Streamlined lightweight corrugated cars: Arnold-Concor
Part 3:
Streamlined lightweight corrugated cars: Kato
Part 4:
Streamlined lightweight corrugated cars: Model power-Rowa; JnJ
Part 5:
Streamlined lightweight smooth side cars
Part 6: Amtrak Metroliner, Viewliner and Superliner cars
Train models with
prototypical consists
Each part is 1-2 megabytes of
text, models and matching prototype photos.
Be patient, the text loads first, so read it while the photos load. I suggest reading the introduction (purpose)
in part 1 first. The train models pages
are an attempt to model specific streamlined trains, car for car. New trains will be added as I complete
them. Pages revised March 2005.
You can view these web pages 2
ways:
-Netscape browser: medium speed
loading, pictures medium resolution.
-Microsoft Internet Explorer:
slower loading, pictures highest resolution.
I generated these html pages
with Microsoft Word.
I’ve enjoyed researching and
writing this. I know many modelers can
help improve these pages because they know more than I do, and have different
books. I have identified at least one
prototype for most cars, but would like to know of additional railroads that
ran the same car. Please send any new
prototype information, comments or scans of photographs. I will include you and your information in
future releases. This is a work in
progress, and information is better when it’s shared.
