Classification: UNCLASSIFIED


Caveats: NONE





And if that isn't enough X29 for you, there are several
additional TKM articles on X29 rebuilds, one of which should
eventually be (wait for it), the X29B "Challenge
Car"....for which NO ONE IS BRAVE ENOUGH to take on and
complete, as yet!





Yes, the gauntlet has been thrown down! Consider your faces
slapped with a leather glove!





For those of you that believe you are brave enough to take
on the "Challenge", give me your personal e-mail,
and I will send the photo. If you are the cowardly type,
don't bother asking!

All the issues are available on CD from the PRRT&HS. $15
for members, $45 for non-members. Guess I'm going to
have to become a member, if for no other reason than the
economics of buying the CDs. Membership is (minimum) $35/yr,
so if you buy more than one CD, the membership is paid by
the discount. To get everything related to the X29, I'm
going to need CDs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6. Might as well get all 8
and have the full set.





Ben Hom's articles are in the August and September 2004
Mainline Modeler.





Ted Cullota covered the X29 in his Essential Freight Car
series (#35 and #36) in the January and February 2007 RMC





Richard Hendrickson covered the X29 in....





OK, 34 articles listed for X29 in the Trains index:


http://trc.trains.com/Train%20Magazine%20Index.aspx?view=SearchResults&q=X29





And another 21 pages of articles if you incorrectly add the
dash between X and 29:


http://trc.trains.com/Train%20Magazine%20Index.aspx?view=SearchResults&q=X-29





I've got a lot of reading to catch up on. :-(

Guys,





Ben Hom authored an incredible article in Mainline


Modeler and The Keystone


Modeler released together, but don't ask me the date,


Ben can tell you.

Eventually all things merge into one and


a river runs through


it.

I shared


your confusion about


the various RC X29 offerings. I haven't had much


luck finding the


out-of-print RPCs, but Ted's two articles in RMC (Jan


and Feb 2007) were


extremely helpful to me. These are pretty easy to


score: eBay, or


Paul Gibson has them at railpub.com I believe.
