Re: Tomorrow's zoom
Ted Culotta
[Copying the Hindsight groups.io as well as the grievance was aired there, too] Fully begging the pardon of Mike and Jeff, I am going to use Ken as an example because I am frankly tired of his complaining about everything we do with Hindsight. He complains profusely because what we do doesn't align with his personal wants and desires.. This is the second time he has aired his displeasure about not receiving confirmation information. I privately explained to him the first time that it was because he had not actually registered. He failed to do so again this time. I fail to publicly take blame for his inability to follow instructions. It was stated quite clearly, "... you must add this [the registration] to your shopping cart and complete checkout to be registered and receive the zoom details." I have attached his recent order history - one decal order with the details blacked out along with two Hindsight registrations. That's it... no registration for the most recent one. Registration for the latest Hindsight was not even launched until after his Nov. 29 order so if he had registered, it would be there for all to see. I will email Tony separately to uncover his issues as I received confirmation of his order, meaning he should have received a confirmation email, I did add him to the google calendar invite and I did send him an email this past Friday with the details. That is all.... my arms are extended with wrists awaiting the cuffs of the sheriffs. However, it will have been worth it. P.S. my presentation file and link to youtube of my clinic from yesterday can be accessed via my blog link below. Cheers, Ted Ted Culotta Speedwitch Media

Folks,
In the movie "Troop Train", StLB&M flat car 8376 is featured as part of a pre- or early WWII movement of troops with their equipment. A quick check of the 1943 ORER show that there are 50 cars in this series and that these are the only flat cars with StLB&M reporting marks. Does anyone have any additional information on this series of cars?
I note that Mask Island has decals in HO for them so I also wonder if there is an appropriate HO model?
Regards, Bruce Bruce Smith Auburn, AL

Re: Photo: UP/OSL Livestock Car 37197 (1943)

It looks to me that it is indeed possible to load both levels at once. The lower level looks like there's a right-angle turn in it, to align with the door. In fact, with this car which does not appear to have separate doors, it's probably a good idea to load both levels at once and get the door closed before the cargo can get the idea that they might want to escape.

Re: Photo: UP/OSL Livestock Car 37197 (1943)
Bob,
Thanks for this photo link. To the best of my knowledge (memory?) I don't remember ever seeing a double deck loading operation. It would appear that it wasn't possible to load both levels at once - at least not at this particular location. I love the flat lighting in this picture - gives it a "feeling" that we often miss/don't have on our layouts. Since the sheep are being loaded into an OSL car - I'm guessing that they are being "reloaded" and will be forwarded from this location to some other (for slaughter?). Calumet is in the Chicago area so that makes sense (at least to me). - Jim
