2007 O Scale National Convention Car Order Form
Just after WWII, John W Barringer III became president of the Monon (Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville).
He found a property worn from the rigors of depression and war, and set about a massive modernization program
including new power and rolling stock. Many Hoosiers remember fondly the passenger trains painted in the crimson
and gray of Indiana University and the slick new freight Diesels in the black and gold of Purdue.
Perhaps as a tacit nod to an unsung income earner, a group of new boxcars was numbered from 1-500. Thus, the
coveted "One-Spot" on Indiana's own railroad was occupied by a plain red forty-footer. The car became a celebrity
in its own right, with spottings regularly reported to the railfan press as it quietly went about the country, earning its
keep.
The 2007 O Scale National Convention is proud to announce Monon #1 is its convention car. Thanks to Tom
Kepshire, JD, Ken Weller, and Ron Marquardt for their assistance in getting the lettering correct.
The car is being made for us by Weaver Models and includes diecast trucks and couplers. This is a 2-rail model.
The quantity is limited to 100 pieces so order early. If you will pick up your car at the convention the cost is $50. If
you would like your car shipped to you as soon as they are available (probably in June) the cost is $60. Checks only
for pre-orders. Checks and cash accepted at the convention.
