I need information on coupler lift bars as I am planning to model a pair of AAR 40' boxcars with full detailing, Canadian National circa 1954.
I've noticed some prototypes with chain running from the bar, which is above the coupler pin - those seem to be mainly wood boxcars, but I'm not sure.
Are there lots of different styles out there, and if so, what did CNR use?
Did they have them on both ends, or just one?
Was the ladder cut off or shortened to accommodate the lift bar?
And one more question about hoses - how many and where do they go?
Thanks in advance folks!! I've been having trouble finding this information.
