Re: Mandatory stub switches replacement date
Hey Folks,

Re: Minuteman Scale Models has purchased the Scalecoat paint line from Weaver Models
Like everyone else who carries Scalecoat, Des Plaines had a "run" when it was announced that the paint was being discontinued, and it may take a little time to get new supply channels up and running.

Tim,
Thank you for that reminder. It's been two or three years since my last visit to DPH, and I had forgotten that they stock Scalecoat. I, too, linger long whenever I visit the place.

AHM double-door double-sheathed boxcar prototype?
Life has many mysteries, like how, many years ago, AHM could tool up a rather accurate plug-door PS-1 (certainly by the standards of the day it was nice), then turn around and tool up a strange 40'

Some H30's received gray paint as early as Mar 1954. At least one, 255284, was photographed with gray paint applied 3-54 with the circle keystone scheme. The shadow keystone scheme on H30's appeared

Motrak Models, often selling at RPM meets, also carries Scalecoat. Not sure how to order it from him, though:

Tom, you can buy Scalecoat directly from Des Plaines Hobbies, which also
stocks many custom Scalecoat colors, not just the Weaver colors. Just go
to the web site, add the colors to your shopping cart,

Red Caboose tooled two different welded cars with 8' doors -- they differed

When did PRR start painting covered hoppers in gray rather than FCC? If class matters the car of interest is an H30.
