NARC HO Scale 4000cf Coal Gondola - Canadian National (ex-Procor Word Mark) - Version f04 - Built By

 

As with the prototype cars, there are different versions of this car. While similar in appearance and basic design, each variation is important as it tells the story of the car. Important modeling information such as where and who the car was built by, who originally ordered it and who uses it now can all be told by the version the particular car is.

Version f04 - Built by Marine Industries Ltd. in Quebec

Spotting Features:

19 side posts; 3 ribs on the end with short rib gusset plates, sharp radius corners on the ends and a single, elongated hole on the bolster/roping plate. Have not identified the placement of the reservoir yet - still searching for a photograph to confirm. Note how far below the underframe the brake rods hang - the rod connects to the truck above the axles.
