G'morning -- Can anyone direct me to a photo of an Atlantic Coast Line USRA *single* sheathed boxcar? ACL received 190 of these in 1945-46 from the Atlanta Birmingham & Coast, and numbered them ACL

Looks like a two-panel version of a vertical Vulcan end, which itself is very rare (only example I know of is the W&LE 27000 series). Al Brown, Melbourne, Fla.

I have not seen this type of car end before, what type is it? It is captioned as a photo taken in 1920. http://www.flickr.com/photos/boston_public_library/5786883646/in/set-72157626860793516/

Hi Bill, Are you aware of a Warren McGee photo shot at Hillyard, Washington, on September 28, 1946? The subject is a SP&S 4-6-6-4, but behind the loco must be a WFEX facility. There are five of

Hello Everyone, As in years gone past, I will host a operating session following the end of the RPM Naperville meet on Sunday, Oct 21 from 10 AM to 1 PM. The Layout is in Elgin, Ill., about a 35

I purchased three SP stock car kits from him and he was supposed to send me the decals for these cars. I wrote him at the below email address and he responded saying that he would send them right

Dennis, Thanks for your reply. I only asked because I would hate to see such a valuable collection as Bill's parted out to a variety of individuals who would probably hord their stash. I had not

Which is precisely why I have pleaded with Mike Gruber and Jay Williams to contact Mr. Lorenz and to explore the possibility of renting his negatives. I have done this for three years or more now and

I'm afraid it's just a bit too soon to be troubling the Raia family with this question. I do know Bill has a son, Mike Raia; I don't know how much of a fan he is, but he is certainly aware of the

As far as I know, Ted's still in business, just scaled back. He released a new model last year. He does occasional shows, and has been selling via eBay. I think he figured out that if he posts the

In the course of working on my chapter about the ex-PRR R7 reefers I am seeing things I had not noticed before. I have 14 photos of these cars in FGE or NX reporting marks configured as "RS" types.

Over the past several years, we have lost a number of photographers and/or collectors of photos and negatives. Does anyone know what has become of the collections of the following: 1. John Hummeston

Several thoughts, Bill. You mean B&O C-16 wagontop express cars converted from M-53 boxcars. Technically, these were not REA cars. Just 25 cars (1875-1899) of the 125 total C-16 express cars

Thank you Bob, very interesting. The steel bracing used for the superstructure of the K7, R7, and X23/24 group of cars is a "Warren Truss" arrangement. I have read somewhere that this arrangement

All, I am looking for any information possible to make a new decal set for the B&O M52 in the blue REA scheme. It is a pretty simple car in terms of lettering. I would prefer real B&O drawings if
