Another photo below shows a boxcar sitting on a Fairbanks standard railroad track scale. This is from a 1909 ad and shows a cut-away of the scale mechanism.
The model will be posted in a few days.

Vintage railroad trivia
I am building a model of a vintage turpentine mill, so here are a few vintage railroad photos while I complete the model. Below is a photo of a boxcar that evidently over-ran the stop on a roof top siding in Rochester, PAg. The caption boasts that the wrought iron brake rod kept the railroad car truck from dropping to the ground, though it is not evident that would have been a problem.
It is kind of an interesting scene.
