Re: D&H open tops
Don, Tichy is a good source. I have both his 10147 and 10165 sets. To properly letter a car in the 1949 era that I model requires a modest amount of piecing using both sets. Tony Wagner

Re weigh locations
Hi to all

Re: D&H open tops
That info confirms everything I've been told about paint for D&H hoppers but does anyone
know of a good source for decals for D&H hoppers, gons and boxcars in the 1935 to 1950 era?
Thanks for any

Re: D&H open tops
Eric thanks for that info. That leads me to ask was the circular herald always used with the black paint or was it applied later in the 1940s? Thanks for your answer, Tony Wagner

Just to let people know - from what we can see, allD&H freight cars were painted freight car red until about 1941,

D&H open tops
I'm trying to find out what color D&H painted their open top cars in the post WW2 era, specifically hopper cars circa 1949 or so. Web searches yield nothing. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks,

Re: Monon #37 w/Archer Surface Details Update
I always found the way to turn round styrene rod into a simulated weld bead or whatever was to cement it into a scribed line. Done correctly, it has these advantages:
1. Since the scribing was done

I looked at my Archer panel line decals this morning and I don't think event the widest ones have enough profile, plus there are only three lines so you would need 2-3 sets.
Instead I suggest

Re: Monon #37 w/Archer Surface Details Update
Archer provides a sheet with lines of three widths, approximately .005, .007, and .010, according to their website. I'd think the .010 might do for representing Murphy pressed ribs in HO.

Re: Monon #37 w/Archer Surface Details Update
Hmm... this discussion got me to wondering if Archer Surface Details would help me scratch build a roof on a DT&I rebuild from 1936. I don't think that the half-round styrene shapes are available

Re: Evans Products Quick Loaders
I have a couple questions about the Evans Products "Quick Loaders" moveable bulkheads used inside box cars in the late-50's and early-60's.
1) I assume they were equipped with two stowable bulkheads
