BPg Combine

[NW Mailing List]

The BPg combines were among the cars bought from the PRR.  That looks  like 
the same PRR truck design that was under the early P-54s.  Neither the  BPg 
nor Pk seem to be in the TLC diagram book, unfortunately unless I missed  
them on my fast skim (the cars bought from the Erie at about the same time  
are...) Maybe PRR archives are the place to inquire.  
 
Good luck!

Hello everyone!


The BPg combine had very unusual trucks.  I recently asked for help  
identifying the N&W car and truck class for these cars.  Mr. Jim  Nichols was kind 
enough to reply.  After obtaining prints for T58 trucks,  it is now clear 
that the trucks underneath BPg combine 356 (the one I inquired  about) are 
not T58 class trucks, although there are similarities.  There  even appears to 
be some parts that are shared.  I am wondering if they  are perhaps T57's, 
based on the drawing descriptions listed in the archives?  As I do not have 
access to a photo or drawing of this truck class, I am  wondering if anyone 
else might be able to help.  I have attached a  detailed photo of the truck.


Thanks in advance for any help that anyone may be able to provide.


Best,
Michael Brown


Note to moderator:  I can also insert the photo directly into the  email if 
that helps.
