Re: Railway Express Agency Article

Wow. Lots of misinformation flying around on this thread. Let's set
some things straight: Chuck Hladik wrote: "Vic also did a book about modeling the REA. I think by Carsten's and pretty sure it was a conglomeration of the articles." Vic Roseman authored "Railway Express - An Overview", but the rest of Chuck's post is incorrect. The book was published in 1992 by Rocky Mountain Publishing (the post-Schleicher publisher of Model Railroading). While it includes material from his series in Model Railroading, it expands on what was previously published and is NOT strictly a conglomeration of articles. Scott Haycock wrote: "IIRC, he did at least 2 articles on REA trucks, but I think they were in Model Railroading Mag, not RMJ. I found one, on cowl-length trucks in the Dec 2003 issue." Here's a link to that article: http://www.trainlife.com/magazines/pages/166/12048/december-2003-page-42 Not entirely true. The article that Bill Pardie was looking for was in the January 2008 issue of Railmodel Journal. http://www.trainlife.com/magazines/pages/1/50/january-2008-page-50 Additionally, Vic did an additional article on REA trucks in the May 1991 issue of Model Railroading. http://www.trainlife.com/magazines/pages/215/15828/may-1991-page-14 Ben Hom
