I’m delighted to see these cars being delivered at last. I’m wondering whether some of the lucky folks who already have one could take out the calipers and start to give us some core dimensions

Eric, I had to run to the post office and neglected to add that the short box was 57917, 9.4% of the US XM count. The 119,727 in North America was 16.3% of the continental XMs. When you look at the

Ahh, nice to hear Byron is still around and able to kick dirt (a.k.a. facts) into faces when said dirt is present. Not always nice but always useful. If I may I’d like to add that some of the

I too, am looking forward to the L&N artwork and also that for the MKT cars. Cheers, Bill Keene Irvine, CA

Tony The "trash talk" was not posted to this list - it was a privatecommunication that was forwarded to the list. And, I've seen plenty of models trashedhere over the years, many times unfairly and/or

I'm really not sure why Andy has tried to mask Byron Rose'sidentity. Byron is not shy about sharing his opinions, and he is about as"extreme" a modeler as I've ever met - even more so than Bill Welch,

Hi Eric and List members, I had not known the car had an end door. I wonder if perhaps the intention of the side openings was to allow one to load the car with a conveyor from the side (one door

John Barry brings upsome interesting 36-foot box car quantities for 1945. While the individual US road quantitiesdon’t seem large, a rough summation brings the total near 50,000 cars. Add inthe

My grandfather was a boilermaker foreman at L&N's South Louisville Shops. I was a small boy when he came home in a hurry one day, gathered up all of us in the car along with boxes and buckets. As we

Too bad the monkish distinguished respected anonymous correspondent is so isolated. What has it been, a year perhaps for the uncloistered among us, since we started receiving periodic alerts from Eric

Jon, Hopefully our wait won't be too long. The NKP artwork shows a 1945 re weigh date. I can easily change that last digit or ignore, but the remainder of the paint looks spot on to this ATSF
