I started with a Con-Cor kit and repositioned the roof hatches to match the prototype photo. First, fill in the roof hatches and sand the surface flat. Position the centers of the end roof hatches 7 fe et 6 inch es in fr om the ends, and space the remaining three about 7 feet 4 inches apart. Drill 2-foot 6-inch-diam eter holes for the hatches. I also removed all the ribs fr om the sides and replaced them with 4 x 6 Evergreen styrene strips spaced to match the prototype photo. The roofwalk is a Plano etched stainless steel number 092. I mixed 2 parts Floquil Rock GN Blue with 1 part white to match the Rock's blue. The decals are Herald King H-544 and H-548.

By 1940, the Express Station had been replaced with yet another huge pile of stored coal.
The heart of the gas works operation was these main plant facilities where the coal was convert ed to gas. Here, an electric-powered steeple cab locomotive that received its power from a tether is switching CNW hoppers in the main plant area. The photo was taken on January 27, 1950 just a few months before the plant was closed down.

The Association of American Railroads was mindful of the disarray in the country's rail system that had brought about nationalization of the railroads during World War I under the United States Railway Administration. With rail traffic increasing sharply in volume and urgency, the AAR therefore took a number of measures to assure that the rai lroads would be better prepared the second time around and that history would not repeat itself.

The Pullman-Standard cars in the May 2000 issue can be duplicated with Athearn's new 5344-series HO scale kib. The earliest of these Pullman-Standard cars with diagonal panel roofs can be kit-converted from MDC kib as described by Bob Rivard fo r his MNS model in the May 2000 issue.

For a while, maybe 30% of my layout consisted of Vo lkswagen cars because so many models were made by Herpa and Wiking. By the mid-to-late 80s, the tide was starting to turn and that is when I saw a Ttident Chevy Blazer. It was not perfect, but it was a start as they expanded their line to include more Chevy trucks. So this part of my hobby grew stronger each year. Ve hicles are as much a passion for me as trains. I get just as excited when a modem vehicle gets released as I do when a new freight car or diesel gets released.To day, there are numerous manufactmers making quality HO scale vehicles, and more and more model ers are complementing their layouts with scale model vehicles. CUll-ently, I have approxi mately 350-400 vehicles with around 300on the layout. There is room for many mOl-e! The time frame is late smumer 2001, but I can always backdate ifI choose.

Since I love most class 1 railroads, I model UP, SP, CNW, BN, Soo, CP, SF and NS, and each year I will display a new ra ilroad and change out the diesels and freight cars. For 200 1 it was CNW, and in 2002 it will be UP/SP. In today's society, road signs have become part of the landscape, and I tried to capture that by scratchbuilding with Evergreen Products styrene. Most of my sidewalks in the town of Des Plaines are fro m Evergreen styrene sheet.

The billboard was scratchbuilt from Plastruct tube, ladder and railing stock by Ken Quast Model Makers Inc. from Montgomery, Illinois. The billboard was photocopied from a magazine ad and reduced to HO scale billboard size. Every one of those folks along the right of way are sporting a camera. Railfans, like billboards, are very much a part of the modern railroad scene.

C.ONTR.IHERS� PA RT II: 40·FOO� ClENERA1..SERVleE CQNTAINERS IN HO SCALE FROM A.LINE. ATHEARN AND WALTHERS IN N SCALE FROM DELUXE INNOVATIONS By David G. Casdorph
he majority of the 40-foot general-service containers that are used by APL are available from A-Line in HO scale. A-Line has the 20-post 40-foot container model kit number 25 100 (but suffers from a 9-foot height). Athearn and Wa lthers both offer logo paneled 40-foot-high cubes, but neither is an exact match for the general-service 40-foot APL containers. The recent Wal thers all-corrugated 40-footer is clos er to an APL prototype
APLU 803169 is a standard-height 40-footer with four vents. Compare the patchwork re painting on this one and APLU 801537 above. This does not have the centering line. -November 1997
APLU 963465. Nippon Trailmobile built this high-cube 40-foot external-post dry box. It's seen here, container-on-chassis-on-flat, passing through Cajon Pass in August 1986.
APLU 882853 continues the 40-foot standard height four-vent containers, but now has the APC logo (or at least most of it).
RAILMODELjOURNAL . MAY 2002 49 CONTAINERS. PART II
APLU 700769. Big bird! This Nippon-Trailmobile-built 40-footer received a special extra-large eagle logo on the side. -Photographed in 1985
APLU 705242 is an eighties-built standard-height 40-foot aluminum exterior-post container. There are 20 posts on APL original-delivery 40- foot exterior-post containers. All other shipping lines standardized on 19 posts. The right vent is a replacement vent. HO model: A-Line. -Photographed September 1997
APLU 790296 is a nineties version of the aluminum outside-post contain er. Note it still has 20 posts. This one was built by Jindo in 1998. HO model: A-Line. -Photographed November 1998
APLU 129128 was actually one of the first 40-foot steel corrugated con tainers APL acquired. This one was acquired from U.S. Lines after their demise. Bevel corrugated sides with two logo panels. 1-3-1 square reverse corrugated doors. Note the early use of the sideways APL logo. -Photographed November 1998
APLU 801537. By the time APL started getting steel corrugated contain ers, most of the industry had swung over to the all-bevel corrugated-side style. Note the four vents. APL logo. -September 1997
APLU 901580 was delivered not too long before the introduction of the "APHU" reporting mark. This is a high-cube 40-footer in the new blue box scheme. Note the "spread" four-vent arrangement. -June 1998
50 RAILMODELJOURNAL ' MAY 2002 APLU 896490 illustrates the switch to the new blue box colors for steel corrugated containers. This container has two vents. -October 1998
APLU 963326 is the earliest of the modern-era APL paint schemes. This is a high-cube 40-footer (9-foot 6-inch high). -February 1999
APLU 970776 is shown purely for the repair section. Don't be afraid to have some variety on the models. A-Line has a replica of this container in HO scale.
APLU 972132 is in near-original condition-just a few small patches on the side and some glue residue. -September 1997
APHU 618060 ... only a year later (than APHU 600736) ... we're up to the 618000 series. Note the larger logo! Still only two vents per side but they are in different locations (different "valleys"). This is the latest paint scheme for APL. -Photographed in July 2001 just after delivery
RAILMODELjOURNAL . MAY 2002 51 CONTAINERS. PART II
APLU 992424 finally brings the high-cube 40-footers back to the (APL) Ty pe 3 livery. This one is owned by Genstar and has two vents per side. The bumblebee stripes and caution high container warnings are in place on this example. -September 1997
APLU 885292. Three-quarter front view of the continuing 40-foot stan dard-height four-vent container line. -J une 1998
APLU 886341. I love weathering shots! This one is quite a bit darker (because of the grime) than most APL boxes, and I guess it didn't get washed when it was repaired. -January 1999
APLU 886371. This one and APLU 886341 still have four vents, but note they've been "spread apart." -Photographed September 1997
APLU 886849 is a little lower shot showing part of the eight corrugations on the front. Light weathering on this includes a peeled-off UN placard (glue residue) and a few interesting repainted areas. -J une 1998
APLU 887233. Being repaired several different times results in some shade variations such as on this "spread four vent" standard-height 40- footer photographed in September 1997.
APLU 887853 finally gets us back to the APL logo again. This has only one vent (on the right) per side and no centering line.
52 RAILMODELJOURNAL ' MAY 2002 APlU 888285 had a side APl logo, but was painted over in a repair. Still on one vent at this point.
APlU 895530 is back to the then-standard single-vent configuration. This photo shows the contrasting door bar colors well. -February 1996
APlU 994472 is a high-cube version that follows the same pattern on the standard-height 40-footers with a single vent per side. -September 1997
APlU 964053 is another high-cube aluminum exterior-post container but with the solid red eagle logo.
APlU 972902 is an "early" APl high-cube 40-footer with the then-"stan dard" four vents. APC livery. August 1998. High-cube units usually have the bumblebee stripes along the top rails; the ones on this container seem to have worn off. -Photographed in August 1998
APlU 980220 is a high-cube example with no side logo ... this one may not have received one. This is still the APC livery with the then-standard four-vent arrangement. -September 1997
APHU 600736 introduces the new "APHU" reporting mark and a new numbering series for the high-cube 40-footers (600000-series). Now there are only two vents per side. -J une 2000

72 RAILMODELjOURNAL ' MAY 2002 EARLY SPRI NG 2002 NORTHERN PACIFIC WAR EMERGENCY BOX CARS
----- "HO" SCALE -----
Entering thelater stages of Wo rld War II, a number ofAmerica's overburdened railroads commenced the construction of outside braced, wood sheathed, box cars commonly referred to as 'War Emergency" cars. The Northern Pacific's War Emergency Box Cars were especially distinctive as the only car of this designation to be built with six-panel sides.
Although built in 1944, photo documentation shows these cars in everyday Photo similar to 2480.1 revenue service extending from the time of their construction into the 1970's. Except for paint applied to ends, underbodies, and truck side frames, all other painting, lettering, and the monad herald remained unchanged through the revenue life of these cars.
As you have come to expect from Challenger, this now underway production has been carefully researched, carefully documented, and will result in models of exceptional quality.
2479.1 Northern Pacific War Emergency Box Car. Representations of the first 750 cars as built by Pullman. NP brown sides and roof. Original black ends, underbody, and truck side frames. Seven panel Superior doors.
2480.1 Northern Pacific War Emergency Box Car. Representations of the final 250 cars as bu ilt by Pressed Steel Car Company, Inc. Entire car painted in NP box car brown. Seven panel Superior doors.
