I have a storage container about the size of a Plano 3700 tackle box that has nothing but brake components in it. I have several sets of DA and Grant Line AB brake sets, as well as Bowser sets. I

Gary You didn't say -- are they injected molded or resin? Terry Wegmann produced a beautiful AB brake set for his PFE reefer kit. These were sold separately as Details West 1020 and 1021 (later

Brown ones sound like Bowser. Dennis Williams ------------------------------

All, I came across some photos I took a few years ago of a CNW stock car and and unidentified reefer being used as a shed just south of Monon Indiana. I thought the group would enjoy seeing them and

I have installed the major components (air reservoir, control valve andbrake cylinder) on 4 Great Northern double sheathed boxcars and one of theplywood sided boxcars that followed them and started

I've ordered four kits from Rocket Express (two boxcars and two cabooses) on four separate orders and received all of them within 6 months. Ron just takes a while to respond and to fill orders.

Tim, the 6000 class were delivered, having full size (drive a truck into) end doors. Some were later rebuilt into the 30000 class and as I had stated, had end doors modified by then. You listed the

Don, Rocket Express was one of the vendors at Naperville/Lisle this year. I have couple of their kits and they appear to be of a quality and accuracy at least equivalent to Sunshine kits. Richard

If you look in the Official Railway Equipment Register there is an appendix of "Serial Numbers & Description of Automobile Cars Equipped With Auto Racks" -- Now, this is not a complete list of all

The Fort Collins (Colorado) Public Library has a nice 1930-era photo of COSX 975, a three-dome tank car. I don;'t have an ORER from that far back. Can anyone give me information about the car?

The NP had quite a few. The 6000 and 8000 series readily come to mind and I am sure there were more on the NP. I had dug up some data at the MNHS from AAR WWII reports and these end door cars

Brad, The CB&Q had auto cars with end doors. If you have Volume 12 of the RPCYC a few photos of these cars can be referenced in an article co-authored by Bat Masterson, Hol Wagner and Al Hoffman of

Brad, I just did a quick filter on my box car data and came up with 495 series with auto end doors. It is indeed "a long list." This dump includes new cars built with the doors as well as renumbered

Brad I would say most. PRR Erie CV and LV and ones I have photos of. Brian Carlson
