So a bigger part of this question is about models of round roof boxcars. I'm excluding the wagon-top, and the Seaboard cars (a Sunshine kit for one of those is coming up soon on my build list), just

Hi Ron, I convinced myself several years ago that not all of the freight cars on my layout need to be detailed to the nth degree, so I do have a few Accurail, MDC and Bowser cars that are fairly

Todd, Your photos tell a lot, the cars look great and I love the mix of colors in the photo. Very realistic. Fenton -- Fenton Wells 250 Frye Rd Pinehurst NC 28374 910-420-8106 srrfan1401@...

Do you have a photo Tony? I've been staring at a kit for a couple of months thinking about how far I should go. Bob Allan

Very nice.photo. I recently purchased the ex-MDC 50' outside braced car it really looks pretty good surrounded by other cars. I have an X31 on the bench with intentions to do some upgrades. Bob Allan

Friends, After my post I noted a couple of omissions to the list of cars with Pullman "PS-0" or "Lollipop Stick" ends. The corrected list follows for anyone keeping

Microscale decal sheet 87-1512 for C&EI has a Buy more War Bonds slogan. But is different from the Santa Fe slogan. I have added the slogan to a Bx-36 I kitbashed using Railroad Roman lettering.

It was added for the war. It was removed when the war was over. J. Stephen Sandifer
