Has anyone ever built a model of the poling cars used by some railroads during the steam period? You can find examples on Google ( for railroad poling cars). I understand that it was a dangerous task, and that, by the advent of diesel switchers, most railroads ceased poling cars. However, I think it would be fun if you were interested in the older MOW activities to have such an old timer on a sidetrack. I may consider doing one starting with a transfer caboose. Any thoughts? turtle7
