Re: [RailwayBullShippersGroup] Photo: Unloading Fruit From A Livestock Car
Regarding the second photo of Richmond-Chase Company plant: I would speculate the SP stockcar was hauling fruit for unloading. Note it is not coupled to the boxcars that contain cans, indicating it

Branchline Blueprint 50-foot variations
I need a reminder please regarding the Branchline Blueprint 50-foot boxcars in terms of the variations. I know they produced an 8-foot door car and an insulated car w/a sliding flush door. Note, I am

Re: Help with a SP box car
Hello Clark,
really nice looking model, no doubt, but please allow a question: -are you sure the brake rod orientation is correct? What I can see is an "ordinary" AB system, and the brake rods

Re: Photo: Unloading Fruit From A Livestock Car
Looking at the photo closer, it appears to be a heavy paper liner.

Re: RF&F Sand Hopper
Thanks for the photos, Garth. Very interesting.
Yes, David is correct. The RF&P’s small fleet of sand hoppers were used for transporting locomotive sand between the Kyanite source mine in Dillwyn,

Re: Photo: Unloading Fruit From A Livestock Car
Nice photos Bob. Thanks for a great tidbit of info regarding an alternate use of stock cars. Regarding shipping empty cans in stock cars, its seems unlikely but I’d never say never. As you can

Re: Plastic Pipe "T"s cored for .012 brass wire
Didn't someone on Shapeways make those?
A suggestion - if you solder .012 wire into .015 cored tees, the solder will tend to center the wires. Then you could proceed to bend, trim, etc?

Re: Intermountain 12 panel GN Vermillion box car details
Hi Bill,
I don't know of any reference to mineral red running boards on vermilion cars. The mineral red trucks and underbody go with vermilion schemes with billboard Empire Builder and slant serif
