Keith, Pat posted these in response to my request for the elusive 1250-1499 D&RG dump gons that were later converted to regular high sides. Neat cars but poorly documented.
Thanks Pat, I've been looking for a high-res version of the photo of 1471, only have a low-res copy 5" x 8" @ 96dpi, do you know of a source for a high-res copy? I do have that drawing though, lots of detail to extrapolate. Also acquired any and everything that DPL has as far as hardware drawings of the 1250-1499 series.
The best photo of one of these cars that I've seen from DPL:

You really have to zoom in but the detail is pretty crisp, car 1271.
Doing some 3d modeling and 2d drawing of these cars, mainly just to figure them out.
Still have a ways to go, have to figure out the mechanism. Would make a nice display at a future convention.
Have seen fuzzy or distance shots of these cars on the RGS, but it'd be cool if there's a record of interchange with the C&S.
