ACF Hospital Car Info

Hmmm.  The only plans I'm aware exist are from a late '40s / very early '50s MR.  It's been years since I've looked at them, but I recall them being very basic.  If you drew your car from that, I'm impressed!

Neat.  Thanks.  I must have missed that one.  Which issue is it?

[bbussey]

I don’t know. Pretty sure this is from MR. The small print states it’s a reprint originally from Railroad Magazine.

It's RMC, I am pretty sure.  I knew I had plans in one or another book..  When I saw the photo Bryan posted I knew where-

Carstens Passenger Cars, Vol. 1 p. 102.

Super.  I'll have to get a copy of that book.

Walthers Passenger Car Plans (2nd edition) also has plans .. not sure how accurate

Thanks, John!

Plans in Sept 1945 issue of Railroad Magazine too, not sure which manufacturer or how accurate. Kick sand in my eyes if you want a PDF of the whole article.

Speaking of hospital cars, here's my latest project (I posted this in the weekend update as well).
