Re: 1920's 30 foot boxcar rebuilding question - 3000 series D&RGW cars

This is from RROBB's Narrow Gauge Pictorial Vol 3. The photographs in cluded in one of the original articles show the cars in various stages of reconstruction. They actually built new cars using some of the old hardware
While Camel hardware was used on most of the cars, a few of the lower door guides on the end doors used the trussrod guide casting with the trussrod part cut off. at least one car in Chama had this detail in the mid 70's.
