    I’m looking for images of T&P box cars in the 121115-121304 series (formally T&P 41000-41199). In my notes I have marked 121195 and 121204 as images I have, but for the life of me I can’t find the images. I’ve looked through the various photo sites, books, etc. and I can’t find any images. Does anyone have images of any cars in this series or these specific cars? Thanks!

    Nate, I can get you pretty close.

    I have TP 121006 and 121086, both at Wichita. Now I have to admit they look pretty similar to what I think these cars should look like, with R-3/4 banana taper ends and full channel sidesills.

    Ron,

    I appreciate the images and you are correct that they are very similar, but the 121115-121304 series didn’t have the full length side sills. I have ordered an undecorated AAR modified 1937 car with 4-3-1 ends from Intermountain (former Red Caboose car?) and I think it’ll work for both the series you provided and the 121115-121304. In 1979 there were 134 of the 121115-121304 and 105 of the 120998-121111 series. Was thinking of doing the later series as then I wouldn’t have to modify the sill – even though it’s kind of a T&P spotting feature for 40′ cars.

    I picked up one of the National Scale Car T&P decals and want to use it to model a unrepainted T&P car.
