Hi All' Anyone have instructions for 1930 C&O box car they can scan and e mail me. Yankee Clipper or Funaro and Carmelengo will work. E mail is jssp46@.... It would be most appreciated.

I can see what appears to be a poling pocket on the first car in the series. The rest would, of course, be hidden. John Larkin

hmmmm... I think micrometer or calipers (to measure the maximum separation) then a calculator to determine the spacing (down to .001) and then the micrometer again open to exactly that -- then set my

I got mine from McMaster--Carr also. Jared Harper Athens, GA ---In STMFC@..., <gsgondola@...> wrote : Sheet lead is easier to get in Califonia than in Ohio. It's not used for roofing around here. I

Schuyler, Perhaps not. I find no such folder, and no photos awaiting my approval. Regards, -Jeff Aley Deputy Moderator, STMFC

It's a common trick from drafting to use a ruler or other object with evenly spaced markings on it to divide a line into equal units. The example in the blog post is more complicated than I remember

Pending, of course, authorization from the Boss (Brock, not Springsteen) you may be able to find a photo in a folder cleverly named “PRR & ERIE box cars,” in which you may find an image of such

So…… [might be a silly question of mine] Were these cars mainly used to ship the stored ice from the warehouses to the distributors in the warmer months of the year? Its hard to see from the

Quite right, Mike, 1912. It was the 1892 date on the map that led me astray, that and being up past what apparently is my bedtime . . . Schuyler Likely there was a fatality, which is why they

Likely there was a fatality, which is why they kept the wrecked wagon there long enough to dispatch a photographer with an 8x10 view camera, likely the next day. And I don't mean to embarrass

I find the group of three insulated box cars interesting. All in rough shape as in "not suitable for interchange" but then likely only in local use anyway. No poling pockets although I understand

Speaking of ladders and tools, for the origami brass ladders used inYarmouth kits, I’ve used a scrap piece of styrene cut to a squared letter Cshape. Along the top and bottom of the C, I super-glue

Thanks for the explanation Scott (and Greg Kennelly of list). Rob Kirkham

The instructions with Sunshine #55.8 for a Seaboard B-7 Round Roof Boxcar would have us build the car with the same Underframe as the SAL's Round Roof DD AF-1 class, their #55.7. I don't think this is

The technique works with notebook paper or any other set of parallel lines as long as they are spaced closer than your desired spacing. You don't even need a ruler! Just transfer the distance

Bill's explanation was hard for me to follow, and I know the trick. I'll try to explain it by example. I took an HO boxcar off my layout and, using a ruler, measured a side ladder. The top rung is

I’ve been very interesting in this particular car for nearly 20 years now. AFAIK no model of any kind has been made, perhaps because there are almost no photographs of it I’ve seen just a couple

OK, I’m always grateful to learn new tricks, but this one I do notfollow. Bill - what is the advantage you are gaining with the diagonallines? I do not see how drawing equally spaced marks on the
