Railroading/Motorcar Types

This list is a compilation of information published on websites plus the input of many individuals from their personal collections of cars and literature. Additions and corrections are welcome; send them directly to glenn_butcher@pcisys.net

I've tried to capture a line for each major series, as well as a line for the overall model. I also have lines for special cars, such as narrow-gauge versions, and other extraordinary cases. In the Notes column, you will find "Ref:" entries; these are for websites for which I haven't obtained permission to link yet. If you see your name and I haven't contacted you yet, please feel free to contact me and let me know your druthers. I will be contacting site owners as I find the time.

Notes:

Most data is from sales brochures, catalogs, and individual contributions. The car you're looking at that doesn't fit the description could be a special order, or a subsequent modification. Engines in particular seem to have been swapped around indiscriminately...
= signifies data available pending permission.
Dates of manufacture in parentheses reflect an approximation, usually based on the dates of available literature.
Wheels are steel unless otherwise noted.
Many Fairmont cars have two "T" model cites. This reflects Fairmont's practice of offering a two-speed axle version of some of their belt-driven cars, then a separate T model with a transmission, and usually an ONAN engine. Both types of cars carry the same model number.
