Here's my very first ever...tec-o- attempt ! I'm trying to locate photo's of CB&Q..C&S..FW&D..Cattle Cars from around the 20's thru the 30's... I am putting a "Steam Era, Cattle Train" (HO scale) together... My Grand Father used to ranch in the "SandHills" north of Ellsworth, Nebraska.. We would do a two day trail drive to Ellsworth every fall for shipping the calves on the CB&Q to Omaha..or Chicago....(til the 60's) thought in my "old age" I'd try to re-create Ellsworth and the cattle pens...at about 1910----1935 ? right now I need to see the placement of "data" & size and color of Heralds on the cars and the Locomotives Any info would help...
Sam, Just perusing the "Q" forum here and noticed your post didn't get any response. I don't have the answers, but I do know a couple of other places you can try if you haven't already. www.burlingtonroute.com http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/CBQ http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/TheDenverRoad http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Railway_Bull_Shippers_Group Mainline Modeler Volume 12, Number 10 October 1991 CB&Q Stock Cars Part 1 Volume 12, Number 11 November 1991 CB&Q Stock Cars Part 2 Hope this helps!
