Dave, Branchline did a wonderful HO kit of the URTC 40’ reefer that was based upon an ACF design of the early 20’s which was the car used by many. They even offered it in Heileman Beer lettering.

I am offering the attached urethane casting for sale as a flat car or gondola load. It was modeled after a large steel casting for steam generating turbines. My Pop worked for Westinghouse Electric in

Dave: There is more information in the Westerefield print catalog than there is on-line (and also in the kit instructions themselves). Based on the 1922 build date, you want the Type II. The Type

In the Hendrickson and Kaminski billboard reefer book there is a March 1934 photo of a URTX reefer #19511 painted for the G. Heilman Brewing company's Old Style lager. The 40' reefer was built by ACF

Some may not be aware Bob typically sells photos out of his room at Cocoa Beach, so calling the hotel and asking to be put through to his room is an excellent suggestion. Doug

I've put a PDF file of the slides from my Advanced Mold Making and Resin Casting clinic this evening in my Dropbox. Here's the link to download:

Why don't you call the Hilton and ask to be put thru to his room? Alex Schneider

Can somebody that's attending Cocoa please contact me. I would like for someone to see if Bob's Photos has a few pics I need. You can call me anytime. Thanks Kevin Sprayberry csxt5555@yahoo 404 909

This is the slightly modified review I posted to the EL mailing list (the list covers the Erie, DL&W and EL) on 12/26. Keep in mind this review was done in reference to the Erie model that I could

Bob is in Cocoa Beach this week. If you are close, still time to gethere. Scott ScottDam

Tim--Just considering boxcars, we have a lot of different models to keep straight. It is a good time to be modeling freight cars! Have fun. Steve Hoxie Pensacola FL

How does it work? You call him ask if he has pictures of say a MoPac boxcar and he gives you car numbers or something? Scott McDonald

See RPC #4. Broadway did one of the 1929 design versions of the quad hopper. If you are modeling MP, MILW or MKT you are in luck. The other 1929 owners had some details that were different. B&O had

I have 2 undecorated 1932 cars from Atlas. 1 that matches up well for an SAL B-6 (except brake wheel) and the Viking roof, Dreadnaught end version that matches up well for the Nickel Plate. I have not
