Hello Group! I think I walked on that platform fewer years back than Garth and stepped inside the building to see the display therein. The platform was not sloped. Regards----Mike Schleigh usually in

I have finished a Branchline Trains wood Union Refrigerator Transit Lines ventilated Refrigerator URTX 87292. On the car I installed a AB brake system replacing the K system in the kit along with

Thank you Guy, that's exactly what I was looking for. FWIW in rail sims one does need to provide the correct data so the software can calculate the amount of brake force applied to the wheel rim on

K (and the predecessor H) brakes came in several sizes (K-1 through K-4)... K-1 being the smallest... They will have different sizes of cylinders (pistons) and reservoirs. This is independent of

Dennis, I don't have the complete building, but here are two partial views from about 15 years ago (with their NATX tank car for group content). The dock appears flat as a piece of

Greetings to all who are interested in the original auto-train. The RF&P RR Historical Society has published 2 books about this concept, one about the auto-train and another about Amtrak's Auto

All- For the record, Bachmann did the Auto-Train ex-CN cars in N Scale as well. Charlie Vlk

Thanks for your notes, Dennis. The photo angle and lighting made it difficult to see the truss rod details, even after some Photoshop massaging. I did notice the bolts below the coupler striker but

There is at least one photo available. They had a short life span though as they were sold to the MDT and rebuilt into regular reefers. Scott McDonald

Apparently Safety Car Heating and Lighting operated a small fleet of Safety Refrigeration reefers with SRIX marks in the 1930's. Has anyone seen a photo of such? We ran into some Pullman drawings

My bad. I didn't know about the renumbering. The 25 cars are listed in the 1959 ORER - and they are marked "not for interchange". New trilevel 85 foot autoracks were delivered to TTX
