Re: is there a prototype for the paint scheme on the Carnation reefer?
I've yet to see a photo of any prototype "Carnation" billboard paint scheme. If they existed it would have been most likely before the 1930's.

That ginormous URL doesn’t open anything.
Thanks!

Hi Richard, Tony, and List Members,
I assume we are trying to compare the Athearn body and paint scheme shown at the link below...
with the Carnation wood reefers shown in the rediculously long link below...
Is that right?

Re: Scratchbuilding a car in styrene
Charlie Vlk
All- My off-topic inquiry did reveal that lapped profile boards did make it into car interiors and floors for their intrinsic ability to provide a tighter car for grain and other loads. And as somebody mentioned the term I was really thinking of was “lapstrake”. I didn’t expect to see a website dedicated to Joanna’s not shiplap and I’m happy I asked. Thanks, Charlie Vlk

Great looking car, Bob. I have one to build and will try your clever technique on the scribing issue. Thanks for sharing with us. Jim Kubanick

All- Interesting that a company would develop a website and not state the scale that their product targets. HO may be a default assumption but there are modelers in other scales…. Charlie Vlk

There was a similar though not identical scheme on a pre-1934 billboard car. I suspect Athearn winged it on that one, possibly using current Carnation advertising.

new email and Facebook page
Because of hackers I’ve had to start from scratch. My new email address is almmr87@.... My new Facebook page is Al Westerfield, with a top photo of 2 freight cars, and my photo superimposed. Any of my Facebook friends, will you please send friend requests, so I can get back up to speed. Thanks. – Al Westerfield

Re: Throwback Tuesday: Varney Metal Freight Car Kits
To populate my new layout, I pick up freight cars with Kadee couplers at train shows. I try to keep the average at about $4.00 apiece. One was a Varney metal box car, at least 65 years old. It took some doing to get the car to NMRA standards, but it runs fine now, and looks acceptable. – Al Westerfield

Re: Throwback Tuesday: Varney Metal Freight Car Kits
Benjamin Hom
Lee Thwaits asked: "My first kits were Varney wood & cardboard & Mantua metal. When did Varney switch to metal?" A check of Varney catalogs at HO Seeker shows the wood and cardboard kits (with stamped metal doors and ends and embossed sides) still listed in the 1948 catalog, but the 1950 catalog shows the metal kits. https://www.hoseeker.net/varneymiscellaneous.html Ben Hom

That is a clever idea, and the evergreen stock should match well, as I more or less copied the Evergreen grove dimensions when I designed that tool. I might point out that Evergreen "car siding" would be closer for the board width, but it matters little for those narrow panels. It also occurs to me that harvesting portions of an extra side would be a dead on match for the siding AND include the siding retainer strip along the bottom edge. We do sell extra sides, #420 (yellow) or #421 (white) $2.99 pair, halfway down the parts page on the left: Accurail Parts The Evergreen siding is still likely easier for the ends.
