Re: Faded Logo Paint?
I have a builder’s photo of 40506, a 50’ DD box. The “N” is also hard to discern. I blame the lack of (or wrong) filter.

Re: Additional Naperville Note
Fred Jansz
Hi Dick,
hate to interfere & correct, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but according to my recent experiences Red Caboose made a low R-30-12-9 (28mm high) and a high R-30-9 (30mm high). I know this because I'm into this discussion with Intermountain at the moment. They sell (sold) two bodies of which I need 5 of the the higher ones (I model 1950) and they've sent me the short ones unfortuantely. The higher ones being not in stock at the moment. So I have 5 of the short bodies plus matching ends for sale. These are with holes for grabs, while the taller R-30-9 ones are without holes for ladders, cheers Fred Jansz

Re: Additional Naperville Note
Dick Harley
Bill Pardie asked, which kit to use as a starting point for the R-30-12 PFE reefers. Hi Bill, Stuart Forsyth prodded and later showed me how to make PowerPoint slides into JPG files so I could put my clinics up on my SmugMug site: So I have done my clinic from RPM Chicagoland, and it is in the PFE Models folder on the SmugMug site. Of course, you have to go to the meet and attend the clinic to get the narration that goes with it, but you did that. The quick answer to your question about modeling a PFE R-30-12 in HO scale is that Red Caboose made two similar cars: the R-30-12 and the taller R-30-12-9. So you want the shorter car body. Be aware that the R-30-12 class was essentially gone (rebuilt into newer classes) by 1950. You can check the "Top Ten" class data for various years on my SmugMug site too. I'll be putting more of my clinics and other data on that SmugMug site in the coming weeks. So check in once in a while to see what's new. Good to see you last week too, Dick Harley Laguna Beach, CA

Re: FW: Request to join STMFC denied
Tim,
Your message is interesting…although a bit curious. What message do you refer to? I know of no rejection of membership by the STMFC except possibly when and if a potential member does not reply to the “rules” message sent to him. In this case if the potential member does not reply, their request will time out and will be removed by Yahoo.
BTW, such messages about the operation of the group are not permitted on the STMFC.

Re: PRR X30 was Re: Re: Slightly Off-Topic
Jack Mullen
This photo shows an aerial ladder truck built by Peter Pirsch of Kenosha Wis being unloaded in Baltimore.
http://yngfire.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=11409.0;attach=64859;image
I don't suppose anyone can identify the car from what's visible in the photo, but AFAIK the X30 was the only end-door car long enough for this load in the '50s. Anyone know of another? If it is indeed the X30, this would be evidence of use for shipments not originating on PRR. Jack Mullen

Re: Models at Naperville
Jack Spencer was at St Louis - he had a bunch of his typically gorgeous models, but without the wonderful accompanying photo albums that he often brought to Naperville. Dan Holbrook was also at St Louis and had about 20 or more models. Dan used to display lots of models at Naperville but I think many post-STMFC era modelers eventually decided that the Naperville crowd was too narrowly focused on the STMFC era. I'd say the majority of models in St Louis were post-STMFC era, but there was good representation from all eras. The clinics at St Louis even included a seminar on software implementation of crossing gates using an Arduino PC. These fully functional PC's can be bought for as little as $5 (!!!) and almost anyone who can use email can learn to use them. For many younger modelers computers are just a fact of life now and many great modeling projects are possible with electronics and software (JMRI etc) Tim O'Connor
I personally felt that there were more models this year than last. Last year seemed to be very sparce in this area.

Models at Naperville
WILLIAM PARDIE
I personally felt that there were more models this year than last. Last year seemed to be very sparce in this area. The absence of some very prolithic modelers no doubt was a factor. John Spencer who put the extreme in "Extreme Modelers" has not been there for several years. He contributed models, documentation and excellemt clinics. John Johnson who has won numerous NMRA contests and has always bought numerous new models each year was not in attendance. There were other notables who were MIA. I know that eveyone had solid reasons for not attending. My intention is to let them know that they wdre missed. Bill Pardie Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

I recently csme actoss some great photos and although I never considered doing this car it would be a nice addition. Thanks again for all of your contributions to the hobby.
