Re: Not a good sign
Pierre,
Well that's certainly not good news. Great products and always nice to order from too.
On a similar note, yesterday I went on several shop websites trying to stock up on many different items

Re: USRA Cabooses
Good day all,
About 25+ years ago The Car Shop produced an etched brass model of these cars in O and HO scales.
Occasionally, one shows up on EBay.

Not a good sign
Just tried calling Reboxx today, the number is disconnected.
I have this sinking feeling that semi-scale wheelsets are going to become a little more of a challenge

Re: Freight Yard Light Poles
35' Poles were and are still the common height. I worked for an outside electrical contractor, and the majority of poles in our inventory were 35' poles with a smattering of 40', 45' and 50' poles

RF&P/PE cabooses [was USRA Cabooses]

Thanks for your information on the RF&P/PE cars. It looks like this knocks them out as USRA cars, and even clones, though they do have a similar appearance. Based on your

Hello Garth, Bill, and list,
At first glance the RF&P cabs may appear to be USRA design, but they actually pre-date the USRA proposed caboose specs by some time and are dimensionally different.

The B&M cabooses were second hand from the Lehigh & New England. B&M C-90 - C-92 were from the L&NE series 574 - 578, built by Magor in 1931. B&M cabooses C-93 - C-95 were former L&NE 571 - 573, built

Pittsburgh and West Virginia had wood USRA-style cabooses before they acquired steel cars. Caboose 804 looks like it is. I don't have my resources handy, but I'm thinking at least 804-812 could be

Re: USRA Cabooses
I photograhed severl of the Pacific Eectric cabooses at the Orange Empire Rail Museum (Paris, Ca) about ten years ago.
I don't know if these were the same cars as at Pomona.
This raises a question.

Re: Funaro & Camerlengo 1008 40' Boxcar NP 1918
You should note that the F&C car is correct with straight draft sills. The 1918 cars did not have the fishbelly center sills. They were built to save steel during WW1. There is an article about them
