Re: Ventilated Box Cars

I am modeling an undecorated Red Caboose X29 and am seeking scans of Ted Culotta's January and February 2007 RMC Essential Freight Car articles on the Pennsy X29 class. I do not necessarily need hard

Re: CO-2
I ran this by John Young, a friend who recently retired from a career at the Pepsi bottling plant in Howell, Michigan:
In the early 1950's, CO2 would probably been delivered in larger (200 gallon

Re: THINNER FOR FLOQUIL SOLVENT BASED PAINTS
For what it's worth, I used lacquer thinner with both Floquil and Scalecoat before I switched to acrylics. It worked better with Floquil and saved some cash over buying brand specific thinners. A

Re: Permanent Heaters—was Ventilated Box Cars
A'hem, pretty broad statement regarding pre-1960. FGE's Plywood sheathed FOBX 50-foot 4000 overhead bunker cars built beginning in 1944 were equipped with heaters under the floor and while granted it

Re: Ventilated Box Cars (Processing Produce)
The packing and loading methods changed over the years, by region and by crop. Watermelons did not need much more than a “watermelon” (ventilated) box car and layers of straw. Putting them in rail

After 1960, a minority of the reefers had either interior alcoholheaters,
or charcoal heaters mounted underneath, like the XI cars. Some of thesewere
equipped for bulk potato loading. However,

Re: Diosol Formula
I've got all three of those in my solvent collection. Thanks for the ratios.

P.S. Acetone can be use with other solvents to accelerate the drying of lacquer, just as Butyl Cellosolve is used

Re: Ventilated Box Cars
The cars with heaters were NOT reefers, but were XI cars. The BAR reefers did NOT have permanent heaters. That's my understanding. Please correct if you have more info.
