Re: Covered hopper traffic patterns was Travels Of B&O N-34 Covered Hoppers
Hi,
To add to what Bruce is saying - cement service is rarely 'long distance'. Any
routing longer than 100 to 200 miles would pass several closer plants/users.
Cement is relatively heavy stuff.

Hi,
I think the problems people are having are related as much to "process" as

has never failed me. Caveat up

Ben,
Sorry you misunderstood my post.
My comment on the loss of serious modelers was in reference to many of the "newer" MR Staff members who, as you pointed out, haven't the same input as Andy, Jeff

Re: Decal setting solution options
Bill,
Thanks for that link to the Tamiya solution. I wasn't aware they made one. I'll have to assume it's pretty good stuff based on the quality of their paint. It's the only acrylic I like using.

Folks,
The issue with “could” versus “likely” might be important… while any car that was approved for interchange “could” travel anywhere in the US connected to the standard gauge

I model the Rock Island in Texas. Years ago, I bought a brass B&O wagon top hopper, just because they look so cool. I don’t care if they never got to Texas.
Thanks!

Thanks for confirming my memory Richard. Given that it not on their website, hopefully they include it with their decals. Still, this seems like a desperate effort for what is obviously a badly flawed
