Dennis I'll offer to scan that book. I have large enough scanner to do it. Please contact me off list at Mark_Landgraf at Yahoo dot com The binder is hinged. Press the lever down and slide it away

It seems just when we started to talk about preserved drawings, the discussion up and died, and while it raised some questions I had, I've not had time to pursue it until now. This Christmas a long

Hi Folks, The relevant rules are below. Permit me to summarize: 1. We permit the announcement of freight car-related items for sale. These announcements should be kept to a minimum, and

Several of my groups have similar restrictions. The challenge for me is that I do not have internet at home (I spend to much time on it here at work! <G>), and I am off work Thursdays and Fridays, so

I'm an N Scaler, modeling the Pacific Northwest, but as long as we aren't bombarded by ads and they are Steam Era Freight Cars, I see no problems with them. One can ignore them, I did go and check it

My $0.02: for sale listings have historically been limited to Friday. Thanks! Brian Ehni (Sent from my iPhone)

Yes. What Bill wrote. But I thought that sales notices were limited to postings on Friday only. Then again, perhaps I have my groups confused. Cheers from “confused most of the time” Bill

I read the group description and goals and see no mention of selling, etc. I would prefer this group NOT become flea market but still welcome someone selling kits or completed cars, parts or being

Actually I enjoy this aspect t if the list. I have bought several completed models from this modeler for whom I have a great deal of respect. Had he not called attention to this I would have missed

Respectfully, I have to say, "why not"? Others have posted about books and new arrival freight car kits or parts so what's the difference? Personally, I don't mind seeing a plug from a member selling

Funny you should ask. Early Sunshine (or maybe even late ones) always included at least two triple valves along with the other small parts. I have always saved them and used them on kits like

Respectfully, let's not use this board to post advert. Not all of use model your era and scale. -J

Yes and No. It depends on the quality of the resin parts and the car I am using them on. Of the brake components I use the control valve the most due to the quality of many plastic ones. Surprised

Hi Tom, I'd say I use them about 60% of the time. And save most of the pieces (most kits seem to come with extras) in case I don't like the pieces in the next kit. Steve Salotti

I have about 30-40 Grandt Line AB sets left from a bulk order a few years ago that I save for special models self defined. Sunshine enclosed Bowser/Cal-Scale and Terry Wegman's sets and I use those.

For me, it depends on the car. Decently deep side sill? Resin air brakes will be used, no need to add to the cost of a kit if it won't be seen in any reasonable operating scenario. Cheers, Greg

It depends. If the resin brake parts are well molded (and demolded), I'll use them. If they are not, or are not accurate or true to the prototype parts, I'll substitute plastic parts. Todd Sullivan.

I don’t use the brake details. Many are distorted anyway. I use plastic. J. Stephen Sandifer
