Re: Removing mold from a railroad print
I like Jon's idea Real photo paper is pretty water resistant. I would add a tiny drop of ammonia to the Q tip + water to kill the bacteria. but i'd test it first.

MEK and acetone are chemically very similar (both are ketones), but MEK has a higher boiling point. That gives you more working time: handy in warm weather.

The American Institute for Conservation https://www.culturalheritage.org may be able to help you find a paper conservator in your area. Naturally, there is some cost involved, and you will have to weigh the cost of conservation with the value of the print itself. I.e., is it "worth saving?"
Many conservators have sub specialties: works on canvas, works on paper, etc. Good luck! Michael Gross Pasadena, CA

Re: Susquehanna 40’ boxcars c1940-48
Schleigh Mike
Hello John and FC Group! The ERIE's 93000 series of nominal 36' inside length XM boxcars are of no relationship to the older 'Fowler' ERIE cars. The former were built in 1920-21 by Standard Steel Car. The Fowlers 1913-14 by both SSC and AC&F. None of the 93000 were a part of the NYS&W fleet. Mike Schleigh in Grove City, Penna.

Were these different cars or 36' IL cars modified in some way? The true 36' IL cars are in two separate number groups in 1948 (60000-60005 and 86010-88016). The Accurail car is numbered 87134 - i.e., out of the second group. Their NYS&W 36' car is numbered 1567. I guess that January 1948 ORER I bought came in handy after all. -- John

Re: 3/4 improved dreadnaught endo for a 10'-0" IH boxcar

Fenton--Also the Branchline Rib/3/4 end can be modified. Sand or file the rib off flush then trim to the correct height. For me, the BL end looks better with its rounded contours. The ribs of the IM end resemble gear teeth.

I agree with Bob. That’s a job for professionals, or at least, professional advice.
I presume, Fenton, that the photo depicts a steam era freight car, at least?

This is kinda off topic but I have a railroad print that I forgot I had and after 6 or 7 moves I found it in a tube and it has some light brown mold on it. Does anoyoone know how to remove the mold without hurting the print.

Re: Susquehanna 40’ boxcars c1940-48
As a follow-up, I model c-1955 so I have a detailed NYS&W freight roster for that time period (1954-1958) with notes. The notes indicate that Suzy Q originally had 500 Fowler box cars listed as manufactured by Fowler Car Co. of Canada (could be a mistake). I have notes on the other boxcars that I thought you might find interesting, so I have uploaded the roster to the files here.

Re: PM box car - unusual ends?
Garth Groff <sarahsan@...>
Tim and Armand,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
A very useful categorization, at least if all of us used it. It needs to be expanded, and available somewhere in our archives. Van Dorn ends? How about adding the Canadian NSCE ends? Are the NTE ends the ones applied to experimental light-weight boxcars built in the late 1930s? There were two versions of these ends, one by Pullman with fat wales that ended short of the car end edges, and another very rare end by AC&F which had thinner wales that went all the way to the car end edges. See MODEL RAILROADING June 1987. What is meant by the "alternate" on the R+3/4 IDE and R+3/4 TDE ends? Could this be better defined? Could we have an addendum classing the various auto car end door designs? Yours Aye, Garth Groff
