N&W FD class flats

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Fred,
 
Listed below is a link to a picture in the VT Database of  a FD class flatcar 
that was converted to a pulpwood car by using old steel  rail to form the 
bulkheads.  The picture is dated May 16, 1938.  It  would be a great project to 
model.
 
In the Nov/Dec, 2003 issue of the Arrow, James Brewer notes in the 1950  
Freight Car Roster that FD Flatcars were "Equiped for Pulp Wood, 1938-39-41-46;  
steel ends and floor on 80 cars".  He may have mentioned more in one of the  
previous 13 parts of the series, but I do not have those issues.
