An excellent book on this topic, if you can find a copy, is "At The Bend In The Road Kingston" by Gordon Smithson.<br /><br />Stay tuned,<br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-77025501014691795572010-03-17T20:22:00.986-04:002010-03-17T20:22:00.986-04:00I absolutely LOVE this blog!

That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we don't know."<br /><br />Interesting cars indeed, these Alcan ones. They usually travel in small groups, unlike many model railroads, which move single cars. In my case, I only had an attention span long enough to model one car (cover is made of cardboard paper towel tube).<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by,<br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-48041570838953586652010-03-13T18:34:38.354-05:002010-03-13T18:34:38.354-05:00Great information on a car I knew nothing about.
