Ok you Rio Grande modelers out there I need some help in finding some more pics of this rotary dumper. The Short Line Gazette only had one picture of it, and then they published it backwards. Here it is.

The way they published it:

 And the right way: Notice lettering on car is backwards in first picture. Second picture lettering is correct caption is mirror image.

Ever try to figure out colors from an old B&W photo?  The information, in most cases, simply isn't there.  What is there, however, is a collection of clues - the RR only used this color in this scheme, etc.  That's what I'm trying to do here.

Hi all,

My layout is loosely based on, or inspired by the Santa Fe branch from Phoenix to Ash Fork - Williams Junction in the early 1960's.

I want to buy some 10k gallon tank cars and maybe also some Atlas 11k gallons LPG cars for my layout and wonders which brand of oil companies would be most appropriate for the Prescott and Phoenix area in that time period.

Would it be something like Phillips 66, Gulf, Shell, Standard, Conoco or someone else?
