Raymond Loewy 1947Project #570!

Ralph....I think there may be some confusion as to what you are talking about...is it something that refers to a thread here on the forum?  If so, then why not post it there and also let others know what production of cars you are talking about...

Hi Alan and thank you,

Regarding my post of Raymond Loewy's Proposed Project #570:

I now have info., which I did not have back in April of this year to fully answer both OGR Forum members: pro hobby and PRR Man.

I have posted on this thread and on the "3 Rail Scale" thread.

I did not intend to confuse anyone, but I thought some OGR Forum members might understand my message.

Respectfully,

Ralph 

Alan,

Here's the start of the original post from Apr. 2014, of Raymond Loewy' Proposed Project #570 thread and I hope this clears up any questions, but also provides answers:

Rich has previously stated that threads are automatically locked after 6 months or something. If you send him a message and provide him a link, he said he would unlock them for anyone wanting to add to them. He said without the link the threads are difficult to find and they don't have time to hunt them down.

That is unless the moderators have locked the thread for other reasons besides the automatic time lapse.

Thank you rtr12,

Ralph

Ralph, very interesting. Thank you for the follow-up!

Chris,

You are very welcome.

Early yesterday, I was going through some of my literature of the P.RR. and came across the magazine of Apr. this year, that the info. was in and I wanted to give you a better and complete answer.

As, it stands, I believe, there were NO prototype/real cars made up in the color paint schemes, as shown in the color photos., of Raymond Loewy's renditions of the X40B-60ft. and X41B-50ft. 'Proposed Project' #570, of P. RR's. L.C.L., M.S. box cars.

So far, I can not find any info. indicating that prototype cars were made.

Then again, I may be wrong!!!

Ralph
