John I don't think Evergreen would be susceptible to anything longer than 36" as this would present shipping and displaying problems. I have taken two structural shapes and put them together

Hello Mike and Group, Let's not complicate things... White material is OK. I believe that most of us would paint and weather our own and white is a good place to start. Cheers, Bill Keene Irvine,

I'd vote for rail-shapes in various cross sections as well -- very useful when the rest of the structure is in styrene. I'd also vote for molding the rail-shapes in a "rail brown" color.

Hi Ed, and All, I would be interested in the code 83 and 55 in long lengths. This is a much needed item for detailing many structures. It was often used for making fences and hose racks, etc

Ron I have dealt in designing model projects in the NPRHA and have found when we did a model and produced it in HO scale the first thing we heard was "when are you going to do this in N Scale?" and

You might also want to add Code 125, which would pick up the On3 modelers. The narrow gauge was a big user of re-purposed rail for building bins, and braces of all sorts. If you find a receptive

If you make them to CODE, they are scale immaterial. He's only asking for three sizes. Thanks! -- Brian P. Ehni

Group: I think that asking them to model in all 3 scales might be excessive. I would definitely buy it in HO scale. Ron parisi [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

All I'm going to go to Evergreen and ask them if they would consider marketing Styrene Rail in HO, O and N scale in codes 100,83 and 55 in packages of 6, in 24" or 36" in lenght. So, to give them a

Is Richard Yaremko on this list? If so please contact me off list. If not, does anyone have his email address? -- Jerry Glow The Villages FL http://home.comcast.net/~jerryglow/decals

YES, We are also interested in a hinged door version of this car. The traffic that I intend to model with these cars was their operation over the Maine Central on a daily basis in the period 1962-1966

I'd certainly be interested in a few of the hinged door CPR cars. Rob Kirkham

Interesting idea. I'll voard this train for some code 83 and code 70 styrene rail in lengths of 3' or longer. Anything shorter defeats the purpose. John

John Interesting concept of using it on approaches to barges. I got to thinking (I know that can be dangerous) using the rail for the inside guardrail on trestles and bridges and a single

Ed, I do think there would be use for flexible, plastic rail for scenery and loads. Another possible use for flexible rail would be aprons for car floats/ferry's. Some years ago another local

If anyone is really interested I can scan and send the dimensions of the standard steel Z sections and special railroad sections from the "Steel Handbook".   Contanct me at

We were talking about having Evergreen,or someone make some new shape materials. Well I'm going to dive off on the high board and hope someone filled the pool. How about making Styrene Rail, yes I

I believe that some were used to haul Maine potatoes from the Aroostook Valley Railroad in the eastern part of Maine into New Brunswick. Steve Lucas.

FGE had a large repair shop in Jacksonville, Fl it would be logical that there would be an icing station there also "The Fruit Growers Express Company was incorporated in Delaware with shops in
