Dave, is that a good thing or bad thing? Scott McDonald

I have no stock car kits. HTG

Gang; A further point is that this arrangement of cars without their own individually operable brake, was obviously not ideal. PRR for one, had flats and gons which had: a) removable brake staffs,

Group, I am looking for two kits: Westerfield #3652 ATSF BX6 Sunshine #67.5 C&O 44000-44999 gondola Please contact off list. Thanks Chuck Cover Santa Fe, NM

Garth, Thanks for the reference to the photo of the GN GS with heap shields. - Bob Witt

Good Friends, As I contemplated how to add the piping and brake levers (AB brakes, as upgraded) to my small collection of Ulrich GS gondolas, I thought to look in my collection

Very nice upgrade, Lester and good blog as well. I think you are taking the better approach to do the upgrades before operating on the layout. I have placed far too many cars in service that I intend

Hi Hugh, I would be interested in Santa Fe stock cars. thanks, Gary McMills

Scalecoat silver with a bit of gray or white works well for me. OR, if you still have any, the very best is Floquil Platinum Mist. No grain problem with these. Ken Roth

Brian, Of the three GN schemes on the Trainworx site only the one with the small sans serif lettering road name is correct for 1953. Should probably have a black background to the goat in the herald,

I've listed two F&C assembled freight cars on eBay. A MP panel side gon and a CV auto box. If interested here are the links. https://www.ebay.com/itm/113296584211?ul_noapp=true

From Jim Abbot’s web site; Highball Graphics Decals are printed using a Kodak Polychrome Graphics First Check proofer. This uses the same Micro Dry Technology as the Alps MD Series printers. I

Accupaint made both ALUMINUM, and ARTIFICIAL ALUMINUM - both excellent colors. I think they are still offered by TRUCOLOR. (The "artificial" color is what you see on UPS trailers, and older

No, the Trainworx Gon is certainly longer than either MT's or Atlas's 42' gon's. I won't guarantee that's 46', but definitely not 40' - 42' Brian Termunde Midvale, UT

Bill, I don’t know there is a good Aluminum paint out there, but that’s a great looking model! Thank you for sharing the photos, and I like the concept of changing the paint-outs on both
