Ps2: Is This A Match?

[macjet]

Do I have the right model for this prototype?

And if so, what is the cubic capacity of this car?

Thanks.

Honestly, its hard to tell unless you can see the full side sill.

I found some info on another site. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/default.aspx

Is this what you are looking at?

Reporting Marks: GNBC
AAR Class: LO: A permanently enclosed car, other than a box car, regardless of exterior or interior shape, for handling bulk commodities, with or without insulation and provided with openings for loading through top or sides with weather-tight covers or doors. Car may be provided with one or more bottom openings for unloading, with tight fitting covers, doors, valves, or tight fitting slide or gate to prevent leakage of lading. Car may be provided with facilities for discharge of lading through openings in top or sides and may have one or more compartments. Mechanical or other means may be provided within car to expedite loading or unloading.

I think the model you picked will work.

Hope this helps.

Actually no, 1001 is different from 1002 & 1004. Logic just tol me to check the CSX ULMER search.

GNBC 1001: 54', 4500 cu ft 3 bay, trough or continuous hatch in roof
GNBC 1002/1004: 53' 3", 4427 cu ft, trough or continuous hatch in roof

Though, after some searching, I think the Walther's car will be the closest match. If you want exact, ask on the yahoo group "MFCL":

That is the car that I'm looking at. An exact match would be great but one close enough would work.
