Re: perishable traffic patterns (Icing Machines)
The icing machines in photos I have seen were made by the Link Belt Company. Link Belt also made portable railroad icing equipment for locations that did not have icing platforms.

Re: perishable traffic patterns

Re: ACC cement
The ACC I like recently is the liquid not gel by 3M. I found it at Hobby Lobby and JoAnne Fabric.

Re: ACC cement
I use both the Krazy Glue and the Loctite as my basic ACC's, primarily because of the advantages in their packaging (controlled application and long shelf life). Further, I make no effort to store

I may have to rewatch this video, but I felt that most of the roofs that we got a good look at were more dirty than unpainted.

Re: B&O 325156 hopper car
Scott,
The photo certainly looks like Cranberry Grade. The quad hopper is a B&O, judging from the location and shape of the lettering and herald - probably from one of the W-2 classes. The 325156

I will second Schuyler on Loctite ACC. It has a good long shelf life and a closure system that actually closes tight each time. It is my go-to ACC cement.
