Bob, I want to stick with French Broad River. I want the car to be one with the name of an East Tennessee river. It would have been Holston River but Donnie DIxon omitted that car name on decal artwork page. I am sure Stan Cedarleaf could have easily have added that name but I am happy with French Broad River. I strongly considered Enoree River because I rode in a roomette in that car. I found it interesting to see the name Enoree River on a bridge on I-26 north of Columbia. - Earl In a message dated 7/22/2012 6:26:09 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Great story! I'll have a unpainted P/S 10-6 at Chattanooga. Perhaps I can convince Earl Henry to change the name of the car. :-) Bob --- In [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) , "danvandermause" <danvandermause@...> wrote: > > Bob: > > As always, your passenger car modeling is fantastic.

I worked for Southern in Washington DC for nine years from 1974 to 1983. Until Southern joined Amtrak, officers were "required" to use the Crescent for travel between Southern's Washington DC and Atlanta headquarters. I spent many nights enjoying the ride between DC and Atlanta. > > Southern's 10 & 6 sleepers were named in the River series. During the 1970's, when it was clear that the days of "Please do not flush toilet when train is standing in the station" days were numbered, Southern began experimenting with various retention toilet systems. One River sleeper, I believe it was Enoree River, was equipped with Microphor toilets, which utilized redwood chips to break down the solid waste. All the Southern personnel came to know that sleeper as the "Microphor River". > > Dan Vandermause > Ellicott City, MD > > > --- In [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) , "adguytrains" <robert_hogan@> wrote: > > > > Dang!

I just finished up a series of new Supply Car kits for the NASG Clinic and posted photos of them in the photo section under "Bob's BUDD, PS & ACF cars". > > > > There are five Southern Railway cars and a Seaboard Diner.
