Re: Atlas/Branchline Sale

I was finally able to get the discount. The charge of $83 was about 1/3 the price of the selected items. Suddenly, a $10 kit becomes $13.33....... Once again, I passed. -Andy Carlson Ojai CA

I tried with FOUR box cars and got $22 as the lowest shipping charge. No thanks. I don't see how you could get 6 Pullmans into an express mail package for $7. I ship stuff by USPS all the time and it costs me $7 to ship a 1 lb package inside Massachusetts, and much more than that to California. Maybe the Atlas warehouse is next door to you?

Hi Tony,
If Stanford will not allow many people to touch the older ORER's and will not make copies available what good are they to anyone? My best, Don Valentine

I just ordered 19 boxcars for $75 and change. USPS ground postage to Sunbury, Pa. was $15.65 for a $91 plus change total. KITBASH must be in capital letters.

I seem to recall reading somewhere the industry term for the ribs was brackets. Is this correct or was the long-forgotten source incorrect?

I was going to place an order for
19 box cars. The price, after discount was $70 and some change. UPS
ground shipping, cheapest way, was $70.53 to Eastern NC. The shipping kind
of kills the 75% discount deal! Craig It works now. Type KITBASH in caps and only on Branchline
cars. .

Bill, if you mean NP 10000 series, Ted covered it in his Essential Freight Cars: 4 including pictures of both ends. Would you like a copy? Jim

Re: Ban On Wood Running Boards
I don't think wood running boards were ever -specifically- banned. All running boards on new house cars ended in 1966 and were eventually mandated to be removed from all cars that did not require roof access (like cars with roof hatches). The most recent photo I have view of a car with a wood running board is a 1974 shot of NP 27306, built by ACF in 1941. The car was repainted in NP's billboard paint with the 96" herald but the wood running board remained in place! Tim O'Connor
I am not sure of the date, but I believe sometime after the cut-off date for this Group.

Wow! When my ex-wife worked there, I could check out ORERs, bound Railway Ages, and reports of the Committee on Car Construction for 6 months at a time (her boss was the Dickens scholar so I was able to ogle original Dickens manuscripts, too, but couldn't check those out!)
