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

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

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

I think there are names of builders on the Westerfield website and Pierre Oliver who hangs out here is an excellent custom/commercial builder. He can be found here: http://www.elgincarshops.com/ Bill

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

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

That brittle material has not been used by Westerfield for over 30 years now Roger. Bill Welch

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

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

Hello. Actually, the #11600 Series Kits are only available with One-Piece bodies. Thank you, Andrew Dahm Westerfieldmodels@... Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad

I believe that you can buy it either way check the Westerfield web site

Group, I recently started an older Sunshine Kit #11.1 and the kit contains what looks like the newer resin sides, roof etc., however, the floor is a yellowish material that has a very solvent-like

Sorry, that was not intended for the group. Richard Townsend Lincoln City, OR

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

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

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

One of the Gerstley photos (circa 1958-1959) is a shot of a GATC Type 17SDRX #15145. The series 14800-15803 still shows7 tank cars with SDRX reporting marks in the1963 ORER, and5 cars in the 1965

The 151xxx series of GATC 1917 cars does appear in the 1936 tariff, but they were second-hand purchases acquired after ~1930. By my count, there were 71 cars in this particular series that share the

SDRX was Sinclair not Sunray DX, but at some point beyond myresearch, their fleet became part of UTLX's in the mid 50's. That wouldtaken some time to accomplish, so the 1957 date is notunreasonable.
