Re:(erielack) FW: Stillwell Question

Yes.  Two windows blanked; the door taking up one window; two windows blanked.  The vestibue stayed.

I've always wondered, considering the basic stillwell design feature of having the side truss carry the load, what cutting that doorway in did to the structural integrity of the car?  But, the, the NYW&B cars had center doors.  So . . .?

Hi Paul,

I just purchased an F&C Stillwell combine at Kudzu Rails, down here in Kennesaw, GA.

I have a quick question about the combine.  Were the windows in the baggage area blanked out?  I seem to remember seeing a photo of one, but I'm not sure.

Please feel free to pass this along to anyone who may know.

Regards,

Ken
