Building the Potomac Line

Wow, Shorpy certainly has some great photos. I was not aware that the truss rod style cars would have been arched up in the center when new. It is quite obvious, that would be a neat feature to model.

Shortliner thanks for posting that photo. Besides the men clearing the hopper there is so much else to look at with all the different freight cars and loads. I definitely made the right choice to backdate my modeling era.
