With the basic superstructure assembled The Boys have started adding details. If you have looked at photos of my various models you will know I am obsessive about Sill Steps: They must be as close to

 Hi Bill and List Members, Thanks Bill for the write-up. I always learn something new from your posts to the list. Claus Schlund

Thanks for that photo Curt. I never cease to be amazed of the great freight car photos that turn up on this list. This one is a real surprise. But look at the end of the next car to the right. I can't

Possibly the marks are C&WC for Charleston & Western Carolina. Eric Hansmann Murfreesboro, TN

Hello Group! The P&N 1101 car is surely an intriguing car and Bill is doing a nice job on the model as his reported work already attests. I have handy at the moment only my October 1958 ORER and these

My guess about the car to the left is it's a caboose with the left half of the X number visible. Some subsidiary of Southern maybe. Mike TurnerMP-Z35
