B&M 70000 boxcars

Hello -

Does anyone have access to an ORER from around 1980? I want to model one of the 70000-series B&M 50' double-door boxcars. I have photographs from the 'net but not hi-res enough to read the dimensional information. OK on capacity, load limit, and light weight, but would like door dimensions, inside length, etc. Here is a link to the Fallen Flags site that shows the kind of car I am talking about:

Thanks for whatever help you can give.

If you haven't done so already, you might want to try the Forum section of the B&MRRHS.

Bruce, I have a decent side view taken in 1979, that if you'd like a copy of, e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll get a high-res copy sent to you.

Using a magnifying glass, I was able to see the reporting marks to the right of the doors, the door opening specs were illegible.
