Arved, The RC patch panels are "half width" and on both sides of the door (so really full-width). What was usual is a good question. Initially, patches were just the end panel or 2 panels. Patch

Wow, so many (all) great models. Being from the anthracite region, who did those Lehigh Valley hoppers? Would like details on their construction if possible. Greg Bartek

Is it safe to assume these didn't venture far from home rails, and would be of little or no interest to a modeler of Southern Pacfiic's Coast Line? Or might an express car have ended up on the Coast

Bruce showed patches that were both half width (that is, from the end to the door, on both sides of the door) as well as individual panel patches. Being naiive and unfamiliar with the RC X29 model,

Guys - To further elaborate, the NYC USRA cars that were modified to carry air-activated containers were all from the same lot of USRA steel gons. The differences were that the cars with provision

Guys - I think the larger air activated containers were hauled five to a car in the NYC USRA gondolas, while the smaller (ie., shorter in height) air activated containers were hauled six to a car in

I uploaded a photo to the files section under my name. The picture shows an NYC and a D&H gon with cement containers. The NYC carried 20,000 lb containers and the D&H carried 22,000 lbs ones. The

Everything is ready except the instructions. Bill Darnaby wrote them as he assembled the two pilot models, but when he saw the instruction sheets at Cocoa Beach after a few weeks away from them he

Good to know, Bruce. Smaller quantities of various materials for a foundry might well be a possibility. Among the rail served businesses Marshalltown was Lennox which include foundry type parts in

Not quite. I am sure Frank Hodina will post an announcement to this list when he is ready to accept orders. Tony Thompson Editor, Signature Press, Berkeley, CA 2906 Forest Ave.,

The four roads that had the cylindrical cement containers were the DL&W, LV, D&H and NYC. That was it--but---as with almost anything in this hobby, never use absolutes---to my knowledge there weren't

Hey Dennis, I think about tanks… you know… 3” or more. So 1/2”… that seems pretty thin to me <VBG>! X29 patch panels do have an obvious step and weld fillet (not weld bead) with the

Hi there! I can't help much on this one just yet. I've yet to see the patch panels in person or as a photo. And I can't recall what thickness they are etched in. Sorry. Please be
