Tell us how you really feel, Mark! :-) Actually, I inspected a lot of these reefers when they arrived. I found a couple of ladders not fully inserted into their mounting holes and a brake wheel

Any guidance as to which of the reefers would be likely to be seen on the NC&StL in Tennessee would be appreciated.

B&O 467000-467999 doesn't seem to workaccording to the ORER dimensions. The B&O cars had Duryea u/f (42-11 overstrikers), the GNWR cars are 41-11 which suggests a fixed underframe. However,some Duryea

Brian, That was my first thought as well -- especially since the B&O operated in the same geographic area as the GNWR. Richard, the EJ&E cars had 4/5 ends. Tim O'Connor How about B&O

IMO the real problem is not the scanner or the photograph but the monitor in use (and laptop screens are far, far worse). Waaaaaay too few people calibrate their monitor and so the scan may be

Mark: from 2011 so I am not sure on the roof. Hi Ed, If you have the RP Cyc #14, open to page 78 (the lead page in the article). You will see that the roof does indeed have boards, not metal.

How about B&O 467000-467999? See Railway Prototype Cyclopedia Vol. 8, page 77. Details match, especially those Barber S-2 trucks with spring planks, unique to all the cars pictured in the

I'd agree with that Brian because they are a minimum of 1 1/2 years away and why wait if you already have 70 - 80% of the work done. Cordially, Don Valentine

EJ&J 64000 series. In later years the original doors were replaced with Superior 5 panel doors. Richard Hendrickson

And, oh yes, the roof should be steel sheathed. I thought that was one of the problems they were going to re-tool. Probably the worst transgression and most difficult to "fix". I may have second

All sold. Thanks for looking. Bill McCoy

For a Clinchfield gondola project that I'd like to start I'm trying to locate two articles that Mont Switzer had published in Mainline Modeler. I believe that both articles covered the C&O oval end

Anyone know the original owner of these cars? They are postwar, 10'0" IH box cars with rectangular panel roofs. Can't be too many possibilities... http://www.ebay.com/itm/360833212989

My local hobby shop received the much anticipated meat reefers, today. I bought eight, one being an undecorated kit. All I can say is that I wish all road names were available as kits. These are some

Tony, et. al. I had already scanned the four color pictures available, so I opened thebest one in Photoshop Elements along with all four Tru Color color chip files(they scanned them in four files

Which brings to mind a question -- Do scanners all use the same color (e.g. full frequency spectrum)light? The color question will never be settled, because of course, coloronly exists in our heads.
