HI; sounds like they are using the metric system so they can have one list for every were the U S is the only one that is not using that standard.  ken ________________________________ To:

Well, not exactly. It is BLI's HO scale version of an ARA truck with U-section cast steel side frames and spring plank that was used extensively (though not exclusively) on New York Central

According to BLI it is an all new truck of NYC design. Rich Orr

Thanks I'll look at some fo the photos in the books I have. You are correct my friend that the subject is very subjective. That is the main reason I no longer custom paint. Merry

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but the owner of Evergreen, Brian Ellerby, passed away in April 2010. He was a narrow gauge modeler, 3' in S scale. I saw his layout in 2004 on a layout

I believe that Evergreen was just bought after original owner retired or passed away. If the new owner is streamlining the catalog, we still should be happy that they are still around. Perhaps a

As soon as you posted that the car was ex-D&RGW, I knew you were right. I have no photos of the steel-sided rebuilds, but everything else on the car - ends, underframe, trucks, etc. - is a

Fenton, I've noticed that most NYC cars from the 40s tended to fade to a light brown/tan color. There are a lot of color photos of NYC cars in the Morning Sun books and they are distinctively light

Brian I thought of Santa Fe primarily because of the car's vintage and that huge fishbelly. The UP had raised roof cars rebuilt from later AAR box cars. CB&Q had raised roof single sheathed box cars.

Please contact us for possible H&B drawings in the Pullman Library collection, and we can check to see if those details that you requested are on any of the drawings. It cost us a lot to make the

I used it on the sides of my Wabash buisness car #400. I used evergreen metal siding as the base and used a blunt burnishing tool to push it into the cracks. Gives it a good fluted siding look. I have
