Re: looking for a source for Youngstown early post war (wide seam panels) corrugated 7' opening doors for 10'6" double door boxcar project
Brent Greer
I did not find them on Kadee or Speedwitch. The ones from SouthWest Scale are the right configuration, but only a 6' width vs. the 7' that I need. I will check Yarmouth next
Thanks,
Brent

maybe is UTLX 629. The UTLX reporting marks places it in the mid teens for later. The requirement for the X did not appear until 1913 Howard Garner

Have you tired Speedwitch or Yarmouth Model works, I don't think SW Scale has one.

HI Bob,
Thanks for the fascinating photo. I'm thinking, if
I fill in some blanks in the photo, that the car closest to the camera possibly
maybe is UTLX 629.
Note that NONE of the tank cars come
equipped with any sort of dome platform nor any real place for
employees to stand while working on loading/unloading the cars. To make up for
this shortcoming, every car has a plank of wood to serve as a walkway and a work
platform bridging from the car to the loading area.
I'm impressed that the loading area's elevated
wooden walkway does NOT seem to be all soaked with oil!
It is clear that the tank car closest to the camera
has the tank secured to the underframe by a cable that encirles the dome. The
rest of the cars in the photo might have a more 'modern' tank
anchorage.
What a glimpse into life over a century
ago
Claus Schlund

Re: New Decals announced
BRIAN PAUL EHNI
Meanwhile, still waiting after 5 years for these…
Thursday, June 18, 2015 at 8:01 AM This is going on my locomotive list at the top. Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2015 06:36:24 -0500 Not SP, but HB&T. Since I was born in Houston, I’ve been interested in modeling a couple of HB&T SW1200s. Attached is the EMD paint diagram. It’s pretty straight forward: all yellow on a black loco.
I suspect that a few Houston-area modelers might also purchase sets, as this scheme has never been done before in HO to my knowledge (Herald King did the all yellow with herald and black letters).
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: Broadway Limited 6.000 gallon tank cars

Regarding the Ethyl emblem, it goes back further than 1952. It was used on cars as early as 1944 and likely prior to that, as well. Printing decals for them (dekuhls in Canadian). Cheers, Ted Ted Culotta Speedwitch Media
