I purchased a journal brass and key at an estate sale today. I believe it's Burlington route narrow gauge, it's marked AAR -G 3 3/4 X 7 and 68 MAGNUS-SL on the brass and C B & Q RR F3371M 3 3/4 X 7 on the key. Does anyone know what type or make of truck these would fit? Does anyone have a damaged axle box I could use with these in a display showing how brass and keys worked? Any idea which of the Burlington lines or what cars used these? Mike Nix 2rivers@upstel.net |

No idea where to start looking for a box, however. Dennis dstorzek@elnet.com |
