How about using a 3D printer process to deliver paint thru a small bore needle ?

Re: Photo: Stenciling Freshly Painted NKP Box Car 27676
Almost anything can be done if you throw enough money and time into it. Getting paint to behave in those tight spaces would be the second challenge. I suspect you would have to really hate decals to go the stencil method. Doing your own pad printing might be cheaper and easier. Chuck Peck

That's not the in-service paint... you can see the parts that haven't been repainted are totally devoid of any paint. So, somebody painted it with what they had, no guarantee of a match, and only repainted the big lettering. Dennis Storzek

Bill, From what I have read on some of the Rutland sites, including RPI (NEB&W), they were painted Rutland Cherry Red, which is 50% Box Car Red and 50% Caboose Red Rich Christie

Could the Fox trucks just be shop trucks?
They were pretty much gone by 1946, and were not being used in new construction. -Hudson

Hopper Car Photo
David
Whose car is this, and why is at the ACF plant in 1946 (repairs, scrapping, modernizing)?I would guess it is a in-plant car purchased secondhand from some dealer. The car doesn't have a pressed or fabricated end sill reinforcement, so it is likely from the 1903-early '04 production groups: LV 21001-21100 P&R 81000-81499 CNJ 49500-49999 DL&W 73000-73499 JC&C 101-600 (to B&O 233000-233499) DL&W 74000-74499 maybe Michigan Alkali 793-825 David Thompson

Kadee code 88 wheels.
Andy Carlson
Richard Hendrickson told me that his preferred wheels were made by NWSL. Richard's preferrence was based on NWSL wheels which were turned from Nickel Silver, not brass, in their manufacture. All of the NS plated IMRC and Rebox brass wheels would eventually lose their thin, shinny plating when going distances on layouts, exposing the brass underlying material. Richard disliked shinny brass wheel treads with a passion. This is the reason that was not easily debated against by people who expected frequent operations. -Andy Carlson Ojai CA

Re: Latest run of Intermountain (Wegmann) HO PFE Rebuilt Reefers
WILLIAM PARDIE
I was very fortunate that Terry Wegmann was a friend. I bought a bunch of kits from him when he first produced them. When he sold the tooling to Intermountain I bought some of the assembled cars. Their first run was actually pretty good. My big concern was they did not have the running board supports on the 19 and 21 cars with the metal running boards. The 21 cars lacked the actuation mechanism for the fans. On the cars with the single herald the UP shield was too small. The brake gear was acceptable. All the discrepancy were easy to correct. I guess the quality had gone down in subsequent runs. If you don't have any of the earlier runs the corrections to these cars is well within the scope of anyone on this list. You still get a solid and ACCURATE body to work with. Bill Pardie Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone
