Tim, Here is another one, http://transport.castlegraphics.com/displayimage.php?album=84&pos=170 Looks like another all steel car. Later, Bill Kelly Tim

Rich I'm astounded that Sunshine would bother! :-) In the 1950 ORER, there are exactly 4 all-steel cars -- and 976 "steel frame" cars (ORER-speak for single sheathed cars with wood side sheathing).

I'm mystified by this particular car because it is one of a tiny handful of "all steel" cars in the series 150000-150999, yet all of the cars in the "all steel" single door groups are listed in the

That was a great saying from Larry. I enjoyed the ribbing he took (very graciously) on this list about having had virtually every job it was possible to have. At one point I began to feel that he

I have a good collection of these and enjoy them far more than staring at the computer copies I bought. Rich Yode

Thanks for bringing Stan into the conversation Jerry. I think he should be on the panel. I think my first Naperville was the third one? Anyway, Stan was selling his resin parts then. I bought his

This unusual 50 ft double door postwar box car appears in the ORER between 1940 and 1950... It has 4/5 1937 AAR ends and 9'10" IH and is stenciled "high and wide"! Anyone know when these were

Hello All, I found a copy of a 1941 reprint by Kalmbach Publishing of 1941 Locomotive Cyclopedia that I had bought back in 1972. It was stored for many years and is in Like New Condition. If anyone

Jeff, The Clinic Chair? You're lucky I can remember his name. Incidentally, what is the Webber panel discussion about? I should point out that I have little interest in determining what panel

Just note that NWSL makes P:87 .064 wheels, and also makes what they call P:HO .064 wheels, that have a narrower back-back distance so they can run on NMRA standard HO scale track. I think the .072

Don't forget Stan Rydarowicz who supplies parts and complete kits (mostly based on laser trimed Intermountain kits). He also now has decals for an increasing amount of the kits (unashamed self

Bill, I agree. In fact, I was recently told by a resin-caster that he has an idea for just such a project, which may become next year's Shake-N-Take (with kits also available for

Regarding the proposed Friday Night Panel Discussion, this is my take on one of the possibilities. With the number of models in styrene and resin, a number of possibilities have been created to

the reason i am interested in them is because they sound like they are quite close to the 3mm (UK) finescale standards that i want to use and perhaps less likely to have problems in 3mm flangeways
