I found a pretty cool Book here. Car Plans of the Perley A. Thomas Car Company.

No wonder this genre of model railroading is popular. Relatively easy to find blueprints. I’ve never heard of this company before, book states it’s the successor of the Southern Car Company. Reproduced our 14 blueprints.

Does anybody know what “Black Gold” means in a book?
