Other Rob,

Don’t feel too bad. I am getting to finally finish the kit that I bought when it was new. I am glad I bought the RRY Cyc 28 that details those cars. That was a late purchase. As I understand American Model Builders have a laser wood floor and sides for that kit. Now to finish those Tichy Tank cars.

 

Sincerely,

Rob,
      Which road do you model?  I am looking through the ATSF color guide at this moment and there is a photo of one rebuilt with steel sides in Allentown, Pa. In 1981.
       I model the Reading and they had some almost right up to Conrail.
       Ironically, I just bought an old IHC plastic kit.  I am sure the Tichy kit is a better start.

Just picked up a Tichy War Emergency gon, and before I get too far into the build thought I had better find a specific prototype, decals and detailing.  Is there a place I can find out the numbers built per original owner railroad and find specifics on any differences between cars?  As I model ’46, I expect I only need as built info.

I wonder how many years I am behind the rest of the hobby to only be getting to this kit now.  O well.
