Thank you for sharing this Elden. I cannot figure out how to send you a message from this site. Can you please email me at fgexbill(at)tampabay.rr.com as I have something I want to share with

Yes, but theCustom Finishing (B-179) bracket used by some modelers is no longer available unless you find one in a hobby shop somewhere. It wasn’t correct for the Q, anyway, so the only option now

Nelson, Some Seaboard express cars looked like the attached photo. Does anybody make a Wine ventilator casting like this? Looks like a good candidate for a computer-generated

I am modeling October 1946- April 1947. I think the XM-33 would work for my time period. They also had marker light brackets on them to...didn't they? I'll shoot you some photos of the PRR X29s I did

That is really good of you, Randy. Thanks! Dave

Don, Looks like Westerfield is going to do some Santa Fe FE cars. Here is a part of the email they just sent out. We are working on AT&SF Fe type furniture car Kits now. Next are some C&NW SS

Depending on the year(s) you model, the Walthers P2K 12 panel 50 foot boxcar is a dead ringer for CB&Q XM-33 express boxcars. I bought four lettered for SP, stripped and repainted them Pullman green,

You are welcome Nelson. Anything I can do to help anyone grow there rolling stock fleet! Of course you will NEED some PRR X29s in REA service, in your consists as well. I know I need a CB&Q car in

I can't say for sure, but the single sheathed cars do look like Rock Island series 264000 - 264149 built by Standard Steel Car company in 1930. In 1946, 54 of these cars had their roofs raised by 6

Don Valentine asked: "Does anyone know when they were rebuilt, when they went to the DT&I and when and how many went to the St. J. & L.C.?" See Eric Lombard's nice summary posted earlier today at 1:49

Hello Claus and all, To piggyback onto Claus's statement: The PRR's REA X29s went everywhere. They were equipped with air,steam and signal lines just like the B&O's C17 cars. Also the B&O cars DID go

Don I photographed the car all over (except the roof) in the early 1990's and sent prints to Martin Lofton, hoping that Sunshine would be interested in doing these. I, too,
