David,
My correspondence with Ed was several years ago. Perhaps he was only saying this wasn't an AC&F Type 7. I do remember he said AC&F never made any cars with this gallonage, but again, this may

Re: Classic Trains on CD
As a photo dealer myself ($5 each for an 8 x 10, postpaid), I can agree that prints are getting harder to sell. Until sometime in the 1990s, I had a chronic backlog because I had so many orders, but

Re: micro coat flat
In the same age category I have some "Dullcote Lacquer" and a bottle of "Scalecoat" S51 flat glaze. Lacquer is easy to deal with and I also have a couple of pints of Scalecoat

Re: micro coat flat
Jon,
You're right it was solvent based but did become acrylic. I know because mine was so old that the plastic bottle cracked and dried up. What does that tell you?

Really enjoyed that Jack. Was useful to hear how you work through the model design and parts creation process.

Nice shot of this car. Is it a flat car or a gondola?

I have no idea why he said that. The car in the pics is pretty much a standard AC&F Type 4.
