Why do you say it's LCL, Ray? This one is my favorite: Moving the Fighting African Elephants Moving the Fighting African Elephants Fighting African Elephants.

Group, I have a kit for a 40' Dubuque URTX wood refrigerator car. Its number is 63971. These two factors raise suspicions that the sides have been silk-screened or pad printed inaccurately.

I was wondering the same thing. If it is different from virtual modeling, the OP might want to look at the virtual modeling resources as I understand they have quite a collection of electronic

What is "photo-real modeling?" Bill Welch

I've added my comments to some of Schuyler's and Rob's remarks below. Schuyler Larrabee; But Jack’s right about the third style, using z-shapes on the edges of the latitudinals. The spotting

There are a lot of options on the market other than the $40 RTR cars. Our club just concluded a train show where you could purchase all the RTR weathered cars with Kadees and Intermountain wheel sets

Found it: it’s titled: DS-SS-Steel Split 1938 to 1950.xls DS = Double-Sheathed (with wood) SS = Singel-Sheathed (with wood) Steel = steel sheathed. Regards, -Jeff From: STMFC@...

Mike, In the STMFC “Files” section, if you search for “boxcar”, you’ll find a spreadsheet of all single-sheathed box cars 1945-59. I think there’s

Thank you Bruce, and the rest of you guys........... This is part of the continuing build-up to going photo-real modeling with enhanced blow-ups of the Red Ball card side catalog pages. Catalog #9,

 Mike, as Steve, Charles and Bruce point out, ain'tnothin' simple when it comes to frt cars. Some RR's went to all steel sooner than others. And it wasn'tbecause of a gvt mandate. Southern, for

Mike, So, after all the bandwidth this weekend… terminology IS really important <VBG> As has been noted, cars with wood sheathing but steel structures lasted beyond WWII in large numbers and so

Stock cars with steel frames, wood sides, ends, and roofs lasted into theend of stock trains (late ‘60s at least). Wood body box cars with steelcenter sills (NP, GN) lasted till the end of this

By all-wood, I mean the double sheathed wooden upper bodies with steel under-frames. Those came with double-sheath wooden ends, steel framed single sheath ends, or all steel ends.......... all on then

Mike, Single sheathed boxcars (aka “outside braced”) are certainly not “all wood”. All wood boxcars were eliminated from interchange service prior to WW2. This was due to the inability of

In 1952 there would be a lot of single sheathed and double sheathed cars around. Most modelers of that time slot have too many all steel cars. Now your replied will start getting technical with

I'm a so-so modeler that is falling into lower cost modeling due to the economy. I have a question about all-wood boxcars. I remember seeing a couple of the older outside braced wooden boxcars on

Paul Hillman said: Wonder what they were called when they were stub-type? (No points) Same definitions apply: the part with movable rails is a switch. In this case it's a stub switch. The whole
