Well that settles it. Guess I’m going to St Louis in August. Doug Harding www.iowacentralrr.org

Last April Bill Gilbert gave a very good presentation on the WP shorty gondolas at the Pacific Coast Region/Feather River Rail Society joint convention in Modesto, CA. If anyone knows how to contact

Good day all. See my blog for the official new product announcement from Yarmouth Model Works http://elgincarshops.blogspot.ca/2016/07/ready-for-st-louis.html -- Pierre

If I understand the process correctly, Frank is offering the proper sized body in resin. It can be had at RPM shows that Frank attends with Resin Car Works Pierre

Years ago, long before P2K's Greenville 52' gondola was released, I made a resin kit pattern for a 1953 built WP 29' coil steel gondola by shortening the very similar (to the Greenville design) NSC (a

Greg, Don, everyone: I believe Pierre has gotten his hands on a full resin casting of this car done from cutting up a L-L Proto 2K styrene body. I am unsure who will be eventually offering these

The final prototype data sheet has been posted for the upcoming Accurail 36-foot box car models. Ray Breyer takes a look at the cars with straight steel center sills and wood ends for the 1800 series

Hello Greg, Thanks for your response. Your offer is certainly appreciated. From what you have written I gather the carbody must be a regularly available kit. The Life-Like car or some other? What

Jim, Maybe not that old, at least as far as the AD&N is concerned, unless it was renumbered. My 1958 ORER does not list a flat car with that numb er. At that time the AD&N owned

Don, Ted made the masters for the drop ends, Tom Madden run the parts and Ibelieve I have a few left. I am in the Cascade foothills below Mount Hood but Iwill check for you by Sunday morning.

I replied to this several hours ago, but my reply seems to have gone to la-la land. Could this be a MoPac car? The 13 stake pockets, the location of the tackboard and the fact that the car class FM

I remember reading that the trucks under one version of Exactrail's NP flats were incorrect. And I cannot remember where or what. Does anyone recall the information? Thanks, Ed Edward Sutorik

I have an image of AD&N flat car #810 and it closely matches an ancient American Flyer flat car that can easily be updated to match the car. There is no reference to any car in the 800-series on

I need one operator for my Saturday, July 16, operating session on Santa Fe's Alma branch. Lunch will be at noon after which we will retire to the basement to run trains 95/96 for a few hours.

Pierre & Greg, Are the DT&I gon castings still available somewhere??? I could use two kits for these cars as they regularly traveled between Michigan and the Ford assembly plant in Somerville,

Bill, I have one photo that we did not present at CCB that we used for thedecals in the set that Jim Singer had made that Garth had provided us with,perhaps he will share privately,:however, the GM&O

Pierre Oliverwrites: >Morning all, Thanksto Ted Culotta, I now have the required decals. And thanks to Frank Hodinaand Tom Madden, I now have the body castings. Thanks you guys! Now for thegory

Answering my own question with help, LOL A couple of people contacted me offline and the answer is "Yes" but no real joy for me as the gons were ex-DT&I that did not go to the GM&O until 1968, well

Am I correct that the GM&O also had gons like this. If I am correct, does anyone know of a source for photos? GM&O is sort of an Honorary "Ya'll Road" like IC and T&NO in my universe. Thank you! Bill

From the few photos I've seen, these gondolas have double truss spring plankless trucks. They are similar to my Double Truss trucks (TMW-107/207) but with the springs grouped closer together. As with
