Bob, This looks like it is the “Bullring and Links Yard” in Los Angeles. The tracks curving around in the left part of the view are curving towards the “midway” and will lead to “Dayton

Last year I did some experimentation on how to replicate SP box car red without an air brush. I found a combination of Tamiya Red Oxide primer from a spray can and a thin over wash of Vallejo Model

Hello- I have a new kit of an Eastern Car Works Inc. 65' Mill Gondola. This would be mint if the label hadn't disappeared from the box end. Looks like the contents have never been removed from box.

I believe Speedwitch makes the proper ends for the AAR version of the car: P102 – Postwar Ends for AAR 65’6″ Mill Gondola $5.00 Richard Townsend Lincoln City, OR

Garth and all, The Equipment Diagram for the WP gon appears to be consistent with the side castings of the ECW # 3010 kit, and the general A.A.R design. The problem with the kit otherwise is that

Ed and Ron, WP series 9001-9050 had 20 panels, five panels on the slope and all ribs extending to the sill. These were 1949 Greenville cars. Does this match up (I don't have one
