Charlie, The publisher still has them order direct http://rpcycpub.com/ You could suggest they modify their reprint policy at the same time. Personally, I would love to see some of the series

All- The price for books, magazines, drawings, photographs, and railroad artifacts have, in many cases, become ridiculous. There is no question that authors are entitled to their copyright

The RC carbody also is 6" too short in height, since it represents a 10'0" IH box car. The SP prewar 40ft auto box was the A-50-13. I think the A-50-16 was a postwar design, and can be modeled more

Having seen a copy of the Mainline Modeller article, the BREX car shown is from the group 300-325 which only had the standard doors, not the express reefers 326-329 with the extra cream

The first train was in 1947 and was simply the "Friendship Train". It started from Los Angeles on Nov. 7, 1947. There were at least two box cars specially painted for the train (one NYC 15147) and

I submit both, because I dropped out of an eBay auction for Volume 1-3 at $120 and the final bid was $180. RPC's are considered THE definitive reference source by many prototype modelers. Still
