Re: (erielack) MOLOCO to attend ELHS in Buffalo

Nick...
 
As for the Milwaukee cars that you have produced...
 
MILW 2852 was in the consist of ATSF-100 on 12/22/75 loaded with PULPAPR (Pulp/Paper) and consigned to HOLLDMFG in Succasunna, NJ.
 
MILW 2913 was in the consist of 1-SF-100 on 1/30/76 loaded with OTHFOOD ("other food") and consigned to KRAFT in Fairlawn, NJ.
 
...so the Milwaukee cars are certainly appropriate for EL trains in the 75-76 time frame.
 
I go through all the new model offerings each month and match them up against the Official Railway Equipment Register (Jan 1976) and the consist sheets on the ELHS page to see what is appropriate for EL trains on the Southern Tier, then write up a little report and file it away for future reference.  Incidentally, eight of the EL boxes showed up, one Wabash, but none of the RI cars.
 
I might suggest you also bring a small supply of your excellent FGE draft gear parts so modelers can replace the draft gear on their Walthers EL blue General Foods RBL models.

Gentlemen,

I'd like to officially want to let everyone know that Moloco will be attending the ELHS meet in Buffalo, particularly on the Saturday.

http://www.molocotrains.com/store/freightcars.html?SID=00t4e01m4a1522vntkflfp61n5

I will have the newly released RTR EL General American RBLs available at the show for purchase. I may have some other roadnames available IF there is any interest in the Milwaukee, Rock Island and Wabash cars. From the EL consists posted on the mailing list the Wabash cars visited the EL, Milwaukee and RI probably were also visitors at one time. The Milwaukee and RI cars were assigned to canning plants, breweries like A-B, Miller and Pabst, General Foods in the national pool.

Please let me know if you plan to pick some up at the show, that way I can better calculate how many to ship to the meet.

Regards,

Nick Molo
