Hi Don, I know of one article that's about to go to press, and I'm about to start on another (using your part on double sheathed cars). Ray Breyer Elgin, IL

The Sunshine hoppers wouldn't work [I can't quickly find the Inside Length.]? twin bay chiseled side hoppers (Discontinued) Both series of cars were built by Pressed Steel Car so they could

Can anyone of you review the prototype fidelity of subj. cars, especially the Linde and GN car? I would like to avoid buying foobies! Ben de Vries, the Netherlands Verstuurd vanaf mijn iPad

Ben, I can't comment on the fidelity of the body styles since I don't have any of the Bowser cars, and their web pictures are rather unhelpful. As for the Linde

As tank cars, I assume there would not have been a reweigh requirement for these cars and the model should not have reweigh stenciling, right? Bob Chaparro Hemet, CA

OK, I’m a little confused by this conversation. FIRST - afaik, ALL cars in interchange service were required to show CAPY, LD LMT, and LT WT data and the LT WT data was to be accompanied by either

At least through the 1920a and 30s, the MCB/ARA lettering standards did not require a LD LMT stencil on tank cars, only the LT WT and CAPY stencils. I have seen a LD LMT on a few tank cars, but it

Has anyone published any sort of detailed roster of Swift reefers? I seem to think so, but can't locate such. I do have Martin Lofton's RMJ 2-93 article. Maybe a good clinic session? Thanks in

As I read Bob's conjecture, he's not saying that tank cars wouldn't have weight data, just that they "shouldn't" have REweigh dates and revised weights. Not completely false, but an overstatement. I

ALL tank cars, including Linde Tank Cars, would have weight data and most would have reweigh data. Nope. Plenty of tank cars had their NEW weight decades after being built. I don’t agree that even

Ben, thank you, I know now that I should avoid these models! Ben

Thank you Staffan, that saves me money! Ben
