All Things Sykes
All builders photos and order information are from the St. Louis Car Collection at the Olin Library at Washington University in St. Louis, courtesy of Ms. Beryl Manne. Sykes article is courtesy of Model Railroader Magazine. New Haven photos and drawings, as well as the scale drawing done for the Model Railroader article were from Alvin Lawrence and the New Haven Technical & Historical Association. Mr. George Phelps provided his remembrances of seeing the New Haven cars in operation and Mal Houck and Joe Bux provided model and prototype photos. My thanks to all of them, my wife Shirley and her trusty tape measure, and to Ron Vassallo for his efforts to create a cohesive layout for this story.
