Re: Alcohol
Best substitute for 90% isopropyl is 99% isopropyl alcohol. Why pay for water dilution if you don't need it?
Ask a pharmacist to order, or from Amazon. Etc.. Robert Simpson

ADMIN: RPM updates
Aley, Jeff A
Folks,
This list is not a COVID-19 list. It is not a politics list. It is a place where we can have a respite from the “real world” around us and focus on our hobby: Steam-Era Freight Cars.
Those who persist in posting off-topic comments do so at their peril. Note that I am not in the mood to post cute comments about the food in the STMFC jail.
Regards,
-Jeff Aley, Deputy Moderator, RealSTMFC

Re: Priming w/Yellow
Jack Mullen
That covered well and looks really nice, Bill. Sometimes it's difficult to get a sufficiently opaque finish with yellow paints. The yellow primer should really help with that problem. Looking forward to seeing the completed work.

Did these boxcars haul wing assemblies from Martin’s Baltimore plant to Omaha or did they originate somewhere else? Scott Seders Salisbury, MD

Thanks Andy, Bill and Ted for the information. Fortunately I kept all of my old Mainline Modeler issues. Looks like I need to send an order to Ted. The decals in the kit didn’t look very sharp.
Sincerely,
Rich Remiarz

Wow, Bill, that's a pretty smooth looking finish. Nice model, too! Where did you get the Badger primer?

I just started building a Funaro & Camerlengo C&O 1930 automobile boxcar kit. In looking through my reference materials, I have found almost no information on these cars. I thought I remembered an article in a publication sometime in the last few years (which means it was probably 5-10 years ago) about these cars and building this kit, but haven't been able to find anything. Any help getting more information on these cars and this kit would be appreciated.
Thanks, Rich Remiarz Vadnais Heights, MN

Sorry Mel,
I didn't see any reference in that post to any upcoming show. Shouldn't present circumstances and a backhanded slap at the President be off limits?

That strikes me as some kind of slack adjuster. Is that what it is?Do you mean this? Brake Booster Near as can tell its main function is to double the power available from a vertical staff hand brake by making the hand brake chain into a two part line; note that after the chain winds through the mechanism it attaches to a bracket on the centersill. How it's any better than the simple pulley often used for this is anyone's guess, although I've always thought the slope of the bar it rides on would ensure that it rattled itself into release position after the brake pawl was released, not that I think that was ever a problem with the pulley system. Actually, I've always felt it was a solution in search of a problem, and I think the railroad industry quickly came to the same conclusion, because they were not common. Maybe someday I'll get someone out at IRM to wind down the handbrake on that car and watch what it actually does. Dennis Storzek

What does this last post have to do with Steam Era Freight Cars prior to 1960?
