Is there a website where one can download kit instructions for F&C Resin Kits? I am looking for instructions for the 6491 Rutland 36' 2300/2600 Series Flatcar. I bought a 2-car kit set a while back

Diamond scale is still in business or at least they have a site. The ST-115 is listed as a steel truss. The thru truss (steel truss), which I assume is what Steve wants, is listed in three

Frank, Has it occurred to you that what you are talking about is not what Bill was asking about? Bill specifically mentioned the bead, and tentatively used the name "beaded ceiling". I just confirmed

Dan, The MW waybill spread sheet may be in the files? I know it's in the M&StL group files. If not in this group's I can add it. Lots of great LCL info. Clark Propst

The materials I have don't say anything about railroad specifics. I think they only made one 115-ft. table, with a pony truss, which is what I have. Shipping will be a bunch, because it has
