Re: ERDX Reefers
I have this photo of an ERDX 11000 series car. The lettering follows the MDT font. I have seen these cars with the circular sunburst (?) logo too. The 10000 series were of lower height but I don't

Re: How's Tichy doing currently, decal thickness and all?
Fred,
I just ordered some decals from them a couple of weeks ago - the set for their six-pack of 40-fot, 50-ton flat cars. I found them to be clear and sharp, but unusually thick as you mention. I

Friends,
Some of the Delano photos taken of the CNW yard in Chicago show this sort of track, and even a few of the hand-pushed narrow guage cars.
