I would like to ask you about a detail of a brake detail on a B&O M-53 which exist on other more modern freight cars also, I think. Pleasesee this link -

Craft stores generally have beading "wire" with a spiral wound appearance very much like wire rope - even comes in a color close to galvanized steel. Used in combination with wood bracing, saddles,

Yes, there are aftermarket doors for the Red Caboose auto cars from Speedwitch. P100 – Seaboard Air Line Class AF-3 Auto Car Doors | Speedwitch Media P100 –

Photo shows work in process. Per the instructions I attached a piece of sheet styrene inside the boilers and attached them to the deck with Canopy Glue. Bracing is small pieces of stripwood attached

Bob, I’m working on a post for the Resin CarWorks blog regarding these boiler castings. I hope to post it in a week or two. Eric Hansmann El paso, TX

The subject car is the SAL A-F-3 with replacement doors. The problem with the Red Caboose car is the door tooling. It seems while the cavities for the door's horizontal ribs were being cut, the

I received a pair of resin cast boilers from Resin Car Works.The castings are excellent. These were mentioned in a post last May:

I am hosting an op session on Santa Fe's Alma branch on Saturday, October 29th. I still need one crew member. The session will begin at noon with lunch after which we will retire to the railroad

Brian Leppert noted: BTW, if your RC car has round corners, you could strip it (undecs are hard to come by) and buy correct resin doors and decals from Speedwitch for a really cool Seaboard Air Line

Paul, I've been in our hobby since '63 and I too seem to recall an image of a car with both doors. But with more knowledge of the real doors I can't find it possible now. Am hoping for others'

I thought I had seen prototype photos where Youngstown and Superior doors were on the same side, but that was only from "memory". Guess I might have been wrong. Red Caboose put 4 Youngstown in the kit

I highly suspect a model with one of each door (Youngstown and Superior) on the same side would be bogus, regardless of the road name. These two doors have different door track designs and roller

Well gee !!! Another off-shelf-bogus car. Since it's not accurate for CB&Q I can just put one of each door and remain bogus with it, but don't show it to anyone. All of us probably have inaccurate

The ends for this car were of a 4/4 improved dreadnaught, and the the rivet detail on the Red Caboose sides are wrong. The C&BT automobile box with some archer rivet transfers could get you very close

Paul, What was missed here is that the two 10' IH double-door boxcars from RC have only two prototypes (per Richard Hendrickson). The square-corner car is only good for Soo, and the

As discussed on here many times, the square corner car is usable for a Soo Line car, and the W corner is SAL as Bill stated. The car is a stand-in for every other scheme they offer. Some are close

Going from memory there is an issue of RP CYC that covers "Q" Steel Auto Cars. Also going from memory the RC DD car with "W" corners is only good for SAL. Bill Welch

Just acquired a Red Caboose 40ft double door CB&Q boxcar. The kit comes with 2 door types, Youngstown & Superior. Did the CB&Q have any cars with both types on the same side, IE) 1- Youngstown & 1-
