Re: Tangent GA Tank Car

Steve, Thanks for pointing out my error . . . I obviously transposed letters when looking up the reporting marks . . . damn it sucks getting old. I found it in the ORER and can move on to weathering

Re: MP Reweigh Stations

Nelson, It’s been quite a few years ago when a number of people collaborated with Richard Hendrickson in compiling a list of weigh stations symbols, which is one of the many prototype reference

MP Reweigh Stations

I built a Westerfield MP 81000 series boxcar, and the decals only support NEW reweigh dates. Since the car was built in 1924, and I model 1953, I need to know the reweigh station so I can piece

Re: F.G.E.X. Refrigerator build

The dark grey brittle epoxy resin hasn't been used by Westerfield in many many years. The flat kits went to the softer, flexible, lighter grey urethane resin years ago Craig Zeni Cary NC

Re: F.G.E.X. Refrigerator build

Thanks, Bill. That was about my last experience with resin cars and I filed them away under the "never again" category! Way back I tried a Westerfield and an F&C and it was frustrating to say the

Re: Tangent GA Tank Car

The Humble tank car should have a blue outline outside the red logo if it’s supposed to be a car repainted between 1935 and 1945. This can be easily added with a decal if it gets under my skin too

Re: F.G.E.X. Refrigerator build

Thanks for that clarification. Is the one piece resin as brittle as the flat kit material? Roger Huber Deer Creek Locomotive Works

Roger asked, “Is the Westerfield car a flat kit or a single body? ” Kit 11661, is a one well cast one piece body. Lester Breuer

Betterment roof

Tom, It was good to meet you at CCB. I'm glad you introduced yourself to me. I understand you make (made?) betterment roofs for CB&Q passenger cars. Is one still available? I want to model the C&S car

Re: F.G.E.X. Refrigerator build

Lester, Is the Westerfield car a flat kit or a single body? I'd like one of these cars but I have never had much luck building flat kits. My former resin car builder is made at me so he probably won't
