Beautiful cars. And the lettering on the 1920+ UTLX matches the builder's photo very well. The trucks are upgraded on the model though to a 50 ton truck making the cars accurate for my 1945 era

Tim, I knew you, as are most of the people on this great group are in that 'other' scale, so I was just having a bit of fun with you. It's so nice to have such fantastic companies producing such a

Bruce, My mistake. I looked all over the website, but couldn't find that info on the undecorated RTR car. Maybe they will come out with a version of each. Other options include dome heights and

Is there a known dimension for welded panel widths of the 50' PS-1? I have found two different panel counts on various PS-1s and was curious if the dimensions are known. Based upon my measurements, it

I haven’t seen any information on which type of brakes are on the painted undecorated RTR car, i.e. KC or AB. Anybody know? Nelson Moyer

PRR did a one-off Gla rebuild (Glf) and Stan Rydarowicz made a kit for it at one time. That would be the closest commercial match to the CN/GTW/CV cars. Otherwise, you're on your own for modifying a

Guys; There is a good deck shot of F30D 475051 on pages 52-53 of the PRR flat car book. I think the real issue with doing an F30D (or any of the other PRR trailer flats) is the difficulty of doing

Hi Bill, Hope you're doing well out there in sunny Hawaii. I am in cold rainy Berlin this week. Al Ferguson of Black Cat makes an excellent HO set. I got a few from him a couple of years ago.
