Tim, Ta-da! Formerly at the museum in Noblesville, Indiana. I don't know where the car is now, as the museum was removed from the property several years ago. There

Bob I've seen far worse in many movies, and not a few cartoons. And in fact, in commercial ads of that era. It was what it was - it was very brief, and that is always a relief.

Ron URTX 37000-37499 and 37500-37974 are identical EXCEPT for the door height - 7'0" vs 7'6". No difference in inside height. I have 10 images of the MILW 37000-37499 reefers on my hard drive, but

I assumed as much. But, I'll take some brownies to have cars that at least have a brakewheel. Ron Merrick

I was cutting out parts from the Tichy 3013 AB brake set today and happened to notice that there are two flatcar-appropriate brake shaft supports on this sprue also. These are parts 23 and 24, which

Anyone notice the racist piece at about 5:10? The cartoon was made in 1937 when attitudes and sensibilities were different. Still, I was shocked when I saw it. Overall, enjoyed the cartoon. Bob

Ha. They are indeed on eBay, but as it happens, yesterday morning after I read this post I went to a train show in Stafford (metro Houston) and a fellow lister had a URTX 37000 (Miwaukee) kit that I

A further correction. I am continuing this topic under "Flat Car HORIZONTAL brake wheel staff supports". In a fit of senior dementia I miss labeled the topic as about vertical brake wheel. I should

Sorry to belabor this topic. As part of my flatcar handbrake maintenance project I was able to cut the mounting projection back on a Kadee 2021 Equipco handbrake wheel and drill it with a #76 drill

I must apologize to all. A very big oops on my part. Gene Green has sent me several drawings of hand brake appliances/specialties and in correct AAR terminology this should be correctly called a

Correction the Tichy part in the picture is the #3005 K brake sprue. I used this rather than the Tichy #3003 as that part is a single casting rather than a separate top guide and then the lower part
