Garth, You discussed those cars with me (among others). John's pictures and info is stashed away at the moment, so out of reach. I also supplied you with copies of the Pullman drawings. The last

hi: how were the seams or joints sealed? thanks mrl perry

Hi Larry, I'm 3D printing these at home on a Formlabs Form 2 SLA resin printer, it uses a acrylic liquid resin that is UV photo-sensitive. I do end up with some support blemishes on one side of the

What a relief! With all the discussion about the roof on these cars I was pleased to find when I got home today that Andy got the roof right in his kit. The plan in the March 1990 Mainline Modeler

Bill, Great work - thanks for posting the photos. I have to admit I cringed when I saw the slotted screws - perhaps they are just place holders for what you will use for the final assembly.

Gene I think the repainting began in 1952. The cars began to be renumbered in 1950, I think, but the numbers were just "patched" at that time.

There is lots of good info on the Accurail model, and how it relates to specific CN cars in the Hendrickson article that Eric provided the link for in message 168561. IMO, the model needs some minor
