Folks: I'm sure Smokebox Graphics is new decal name for many of you. After seeing the available H.O. decals on the website this past weekend, I ordered all three available sets. They arrived very

But with the bolt detail; just not the grab. Excellent idea, Andy! Thanks! -- Brian Ehni From: STMFC List <STMFC@...> on behalf of STMFC List <STMFC@...> Reply-To: STMFC

Dennis- How much extra inconvenience would it be to make the ends and side molds without any ladders/grabs/brakes and make a run of a few 100 cars without the aforementioned details. Sort of like a

Dave, I'm not sure I grasp your point. Garth models 1958; I model 1959. EVERY car on our railroads falls within the timeframe of this list. The question relates to how many, if any of these cars

Bill, I'm with you 100% on this, being a SE modeler as well. While I'm the sort who wants the model in my grubby paws, before I jump to conclusions about it's applicability, this model should have

Bill, After I sent off my post, I discovered that I have a rather poor plan and a single photo of L&N 8893 in the RMC ROLLING STOCK PLAN BOOK. I suspected that the ends were inset (they

Hi Brian, IIRC, Plano was developing the etch around the time Centralia released their upgrade modernised ATSF caboose with an etched walk, and then Intermountain released their ACF also with an

I wonder how close these would be to the Rutland's 36' 7000-series cars? Phil

I'm excited to see something that fits my 1926 era. Can't wait for them to come out even though they aren't an SP car. Thanks Accurail, Gary Ray

I didn't get the sense that Garth was dismissing the cars, just reporting on his research regarding survivors up to 1958. As someone who also models 1958 I was glad to see it. And I'm glad to see that

The L&N owned large numbers of 36-ft Boxcars and Ventilated Boxcars using the same basic components. The pre-WWI group had wood doors and ends with a hefty channel side sill. The vents had a second

WAG 6000 series cars, so labeled and numbered, date from the mid-1960s and are not of this group's time-frame. The cars themselves do qualify in that they were built in 1930 by Standard Steel Car and

The cars you refer to are probably the X-B&M OB cars they bought second hand. They were a 40ft. car with steel ends, and doors. I believe they had to different roof designs as well. F&C is producing

Soo Line 12840-14128, 18 cars... These are single sheathed "Dominion" car (Fowler) clones. The Soo didn't have any short SUF cars, going directly from 34' and 40' truss rod cars to steel framed single

Illinois Terminal's 8100-8199 boxcars were SS, blt 12/28 - nicely rendered by Sunshine Kit 78.4 IT's 8000-8099 were DS, SUF, blt 5/24 as Illinois Traction System boxcars. Ten (8000-8009) were modified

Garth: I am not sure I understand the point of (or perhaps the need for) your post. You model two years before the cutoff date for this group, so that fact that these 36 foot cars are not relevant to

Friends, Dennis' new cars look neat, and though they are to be mass-produced and likely to have cast-on grabs, they look like they could easily be upgraded. But does someone who models 1958 need some

Can somebody on the list share some info on theses cars? I got a pic of the 6050. It looks like maybe a Howe OB boxcar. Car has a steel door and looks like a steel roof. I can't see the ends in

Thank you in advance for this needed car, Dennis. I am looking forward to it and hope you sell a bunch of them. Chuck Peck in FL 2015-11-17 16:40 GMT-05:00 destorzek@... [STMFC] <STMFC@...>:
