| The Canadian Pacific received their wood reefers in two main batches. This model is of a car in the first batch, built by National Steel Car Corporation between 1916 and 1929, with a fishbelly steel underframe. (The second batch built between 1929 and 1935 is the prototype for kit #111 below.) This kit includes parts for planked roof walks around the ice hatches or the later foot rails, and for a propane or charcoal heater system, together with a liquidometer temperature indicator. The casting set was developed from manufacturer’s plans and from photos and field measurements of CP 284845, now at the Canadian Railway Museum, St. Constant, Quebec. | |||||||

| The Canadian Pacific received their wood freight reefers in two main batches. This model is of a car in the second batch, built by National Steel Car Corporation between 1929 and 1935, with a steel underframe featuring straight centre sills and side sills which tapered beyond the bolsters. The side fascias sloped inward at 45 degrees, which gave the car a distinctive appearance. | |||||||

KIT #116 C.P. 199000-199999-series Rebuilt 36-foot Double-Sheathed Box Car (HO Scale) |
|||||||
|
The Canadian Pacific acquired several series of 36-foot box cars in the first two decades of the 20th century with the wooden underframes, sides and ends which were typical of the time. Between 1924 and 1929, the Railway decided to rebuilt 1000 of the all-wood cars (originally built between 1911 and 1913), renumbering them into the 199000-series. A further 2397 cars were rebuilt into the very similar 195603- series. (They differed mainly in the width of the door openings, 5' for the 195603-series and 6' for the 199000-series). Steel centre sills were added between the existing queen posts and truss rods, while steel ends were installed of a reverse-Murphy or a reverse-dreadnaught design, in which the ribs projected inwards. This composite car superstructure was further stiffened on many cars by substantial diagonal steel bracing applied between the new ends and the wooden sides and underframes. The present kit is accurate for cars in the 199000-series after this rebuild. (Cars in the 30203-30351 series received roof hatches in addition and were used in lime service.) The rebuilt cars kept their KC brake systems, and ran on archbar trucks. Many were retired from interchange service before the ban on archbar trucks came into effect, and so kept them to the end. The rebuilt cars served the Railway for a number of years. Of the original 1000 cars of the first series and 2397 cars of the second, 323 and 729 respectively were still in revenue service in the year 1950. Of the others, some were retired to local company service, and could be found in CP yards across the system for two more decades. Some of the cars in the 199000-series were transferred to the Northern Alberta Railway, which was a joint subsidiary of the CP and CN (see Figure 4). One of these cars (NAR 17092, née CP 199801) has survived and been restored at the Alberta Railway Museum at Fort Saskatchewan, AB. This kit is based on field measurements and photographs of that car. |
