Model Railroading > Searching For Accurail 4750 prototypesDate: 03/18/19 12:59 Searching For Accurail 4750 prototypes Author: jkchubbes I picked up these Accurail kits at the Bakersfield train show with intentions of patching them up as they would be found in a post-2000 era. So far all I can find is the Big 6 Coop as a CP patch. Does anyone have any photographic evidence of the Albert City or Tabor cars patched in the modern era? I recall seeing Albert City Elevator on IC&E cars but the font was smaller.

On RailCarPhoto's, the only Tabor I could find were TLCX PS 4740 covered hoppers. https://www.railcarphotos.com/PhotoDetails.php?PhotoID=2975 https://www.railcarphotos.com/PhotoDetails.php?PhotoID=647 Here is are a couple Albert City patched. https://www.railcarphotos.com/PhotoDetails.php?PhotoID=34801 https://www.railcarphotos.com/PhotoDetails.php?PhotoID=29454 Edited 2 time(s).

Unfortunately, it does not look like the photos have been transferred from the old yahoo groups site where they were originally posted.
All are Pullman Standard PS2 4750 CF cars: RRRX 3016 Series 3001-3099 Albert City CRDX 6351 Series 6350-6449 Tabor NAHX 477387 Series 477359-477398 Big 6 Co-op |
