Re: Rapido announces HO Scale UTLX 10,000 gallon X-3 tankcar
Friends,
I guess I didn’t pay attention to the years of conversations about tank cars and I didn’t buy the book (I searched eBay and Amazon). So, I model 1950 B&0 on the east coast and I know I want about 15 of these cars for my fleet. Advice? 10 of the 1930s models and 5 of the1950s models or undec with ab brakes and hope NSC restocks decals for this model and I can make them appropriate for 1950? I’ve attached a photo of the scene I want to recreate. Thank you.

Re: [NYC-Railroad] NYC Cabooses in HO Scale and O Gauge

The joke on us is that after decades of ATSF Athearn and other HO copies and the N Scale Roco MiniTrix and AHM and others copies of them being painted for every railroad under the sun.....

......late in the caboose era the ATSF sold off their cars (and similar class with flat roof panels) to many railroads making life imitate art!! (IHB did get some and they were painted Jade Green!) Charlie Vlk

Charlie,
Goat effluent tops the list for retaining a strong smell. Fortunately, most real and model railroads don't service goat farms. ;-) Todd Sullivan

Horse manure, when aged and reduced to dust, retains a mild horsey smell that might help mask the smell of coffee grounds. I don’t know if cow or pig poop tones down with age….it sure (at least to me) is more offensive when freshly out of the animals! Charlie Vlk

I have used leftover coffee grounds from "pods" as a stand-in for manure on my layout... I gave them a spritz of Lysol to cut the coffee smell before using them. Color and texture seems pretty good!

Gold lettering on a Blue background would make more sense then a Red background for visibility.

The fibre in the real thing is way out of scale. But some soft and moist manure hidden near the trackside could add the dimension of smell.

Charlie,
What intrigues me is the old 1930s-40s herald on that GN USRA (or USRA copy) boxcar ... in 1956! Todd Sullivan

Re: Color recommendation for post 1945-1950 painted GN SS single door boxcar / more PGE info
Todd Sullivan
Charlie,
I heartily agree. In fact, the whole PGE was a tough piece of railroading. There's a great soft cover book about the PGE and how it was built, plus the trials and tribulations of keeping it open and going. The book is "In The Ditch" by Eric Prince Stathers. Mr. Stathers was the PGE's Wrecking Foreman and Superintendent 1929-1965. It's an easy and fascinating read. Todd Sullivan

Great color; what a lousy place to clean up a derailment.

Re: D&H P-S Box Car Decals

Not about the decals, but it looks like they learned from Pennsy about the layout of weight and dimensional data. Just got done with three PRR cars, X26C, X29B and X29D, used Microscale decals. Not one of the easiest decal jobs I ever did, especially the X29D where the Microscale set, 1201 I think, actually had separate dimensional data decal blocks for all ten or so of the listed dimensions.

Fenton,
I'm just doing one car, so I think I can get by with the two sets I bought. I'm sure I can find hopper to do with some of the rest.
