Re: Grab Irons Extensions
Modelers should be advised, not all the NP 40 ft combination door boxcars with this car side arrangement had the PS-1 ends that appear in Tim's photos of NP 3309. NP 3000-3399 were Pullman-Standard

Re: Photo: Freight Cars The Departure Yard At Boston Freight Terminal
Fantastic info. Thanks.
To clarify, they were all out of interchange service by that date. More than 100 (maybe 200+, I haven’t really compiled the info as it’s past me era of interest) were

Re: Grab Irons Extensions
Hi Tim,
Wow! Just plain "clear" doesn't begin to describe those photos, and with both sides, both ends and the roof as well.
The cars are well beyond my era, but thanks anyway for sharing those

Re: Yankee Clipper Kit List
Thank you Tim. I was surprised to see he had done a couple of gondolas. The boxcars on the list is like seeing an old friend after several years. I built the CP mini-box, the B&M and BAR Pratt truss
