Hi, Continuing the thread(s) ... Someone else mentioned this but I think it bears repeating/further discussion. Look at the first 4 cars in the 3rd row from the left (the first one is only half

There also is this in the info ... C1417--Harlem Transfer Company [1913.05.02] Looks like maybe 1913. Bob Witt

Bill- If you are looking for the former Front Range 50' cars, they are still available, having been picked up years ago by Accurail. Yes, they acquired molded on ladders, brakes and hand grabs. The FR

The Athearn ACF CenterFlow (much beyond our era) has nicely done TIG welds, if they were on a No 1 gauge car; otherwise way oversized for HO. I do admire the tooling. Ron's mention of the Branchline

Hello Group, These cars sound interesting to me, if for no other reason than being 50-feet long and built within my modeling era. I just went to the Walthers web site and did a search but failed to

Don’t be too quick to judge Walthers as doing something inaccurate. In as much as we know it happens. The accuracy of The ORERs’ isn’t 100%, as I have found dates on cars in photos that don’t

That's a useful suggestion. I hadn't seen those before, perhaps because of where they are listed. I parted with my last Front Range cars a few weeks ago, courtesy of someone on this list who has a

Hi Bob, In the far-left foreground is a Santa Fe raised-roof Bx11 or Bx12 class. Either of these can be represented in HO by one of my favorite Westerfield kits. (See "Build resin freight car kits"

I've got one of the D&RGW cars under construction on my workbench. Beautiful gold & silver cars. I've decided to remove the floor and replace it with the vastly superior Accurail underframe -- which

Perhaps it is because the Walthers cars are bogus in that they should have car builder type ends. Barry Bennett, Coventry, England.
