I want to also express my appreciation for the hard work of the volunteersthat made the event possible and fun, all under the guidance of our FearlessLeader: Mike Brock. The clinics were very well

Just a note to say thanks to Mike Brock, Marty Megregian, Jeff Aley and the host of othervolunteers as well as the welcoming staff of the Cocoa Beach Hilton who madeCocoa Beach a great experience this

The Intermountain models I've cited represent this group, as stated by Joe Z.: "12701-12801 Pullman Standard 1953, eight roof hatches, similar to ACF cars in that they had side sheet openings.

I'll try to answer some of the LNE questions, based on railroad data, several printed sources, and photos I have. Covered hopper fleet broken down as follows: 12001-12080 Converted from twin hoppers

I appreciate your interest Stan but I am not sure how the impression got out there I would be handling these kits, if they indeed become kits, just a set of castings, or nothing at all. I did speak

I'm also in Greg's boat: I'm not a particularly adept kit builder, but I model northeast Jersey and sure could use a small fleet of LNE and DL&W 1790s. So it does sound as if some of the LNE fleet

Yes, but I'm not the greatest resin kit modeler, able to turn that into an acceptable model. I'd like to see it in a similar form & quality as to what Bowser did with the H30. Greg Bartek Lansford,

Didn't F&C do the 10-hatch 1790's? Tim O'Connor

Near as I can tell the P-S LNE cars were near clones of the ACF cars. May have been minor differences but visually the Bowser or Intermountain cars are close enough for me.

Thanks for pointing out the date Brian … ;>) Bill Schneider

Were they visually the same, or was there a PS feature that differentiated them? I think I want those damn early ACF 1790 cars!

All my resources indicate the 12701-12800 series of LNE cars were built by Pullman-Standard and were basically copies of the ACF design.

The Railway Prototype Cyclopedia #27 covers the 1958 cuft cars and it mentions that some railroads labeled them as 1892 cuft cars and it's based upon to what height the car lading was filled to. They

HI Bill, If you should have a kit left I would be interested. I'm the owner of the New Zealand copy of the NC&StL book! Regards Stan Agar Christchurch NZ

I didn't win the kit... or any of the other reefers. What I did win isn't appropriate for this group.... Andy

As stated here in On January 19, 2011 by Bill himself, Also, a caveat before anybody else points it out... While all other schemes are correct for the version of the car as modeled, we are aware that

Bill, glad to know you can sing. I, for one, look forward to seeing/getting this crucial freight car. I can always use a few more meat reefers. Doug Harding www.iowacentralrr.org

Eric, here's a slightly better photo -- Tim Just 35 built by Bethlehem Steel in 1950, LNE 12666-12700. May differ from usual design. No cut-outs in side. I've never seen one except rebuilt to

12701-12800 were built by Pullman. I guess they arepretty close to the ACF design. My notes indicate cut-outs in the sidesheets. 12666-12700 are the same general design, but are about 7" lower,
