Would you be interested in doing some 1952+ EJ&E box cars decals in the Billboard orange and green schemes? There are Sunshine mini-kits and other (incl Branchline 8' dr car) bashes that can be done, for both the 10' and 10'6" IH cars, and photos of same in both new EJ&E book and in old RMJ. There are also B&W photos in the RPCyc that contained the article on 10' IH cars. I do not know why no one has done those cars, but it is true! Elden Gatwood

Subject: [STMFC] Re: new decals added Sorry - been busy setting up the old computer that was downgraded to the train room. The ACL set was inspired by my friend Steve Hoxie who I'm hoping will write it up perhaps in the SCL-Modeler (cuz I know John Golden has been pumping him for input). I did a similar one years ago for Frisco (see: http://home.comcast.net/~jerryglow/modeling/SLSF_rebuilt.html <http://home.comcast.net/~jerryglow/modeling/SLSF_rebuilt.html> You cut the side/roof casting apart and discard the roof scratching a new one from sheet and strip stock. Assemble the "box" using Tichy's 5-5-5 ends and an Accurail USRA underframe (necessary because the kit is a rebuild from a 50ton SS car and we're modeling a one from a 40ton DS car). I can go into further detail if necessary but that's the basics.

Âversion of the Soo Line AAR '37 w/ $ sign logo. lesser quality offerings especially in F&C and Tichy kits and "bashable" projects for which no decals exist.
