Re: Reboxx 1.035 wheels
I found the same website last week, They only seem to offer 0.110" wheels. Reboxx were all 0.088" IIRC.
I really miss Reboxx.

Brian,
I don't have any Reboxx wheels in my stash; but I've noticed an ad in the last few issues of RMC for "JB Wheelsets" that says "slightly different name...same great product!" There is a web

Reboxx 1.035 wheels
Does anyone know where any Reboxx 1.035 33“ wheels might exist on a hobby shop shelf or workbench someplace never to be used. I am looking for some for a project, either single or double insulated.

Thanks, Chuck. I also have this kit. I think I’ll cut the current door out of the side casting and remove all the door hardware. A Tichy replacement will be installed with companion half-door to

Re: Illinois Central 40' ss boxcar information
1941-1942, not 1934. Most of the IC's single sheathed cars were rebuilt during the war years, and it does appear that all of them with wood doors (40' and 50'') got the rienforcing plate at the bottom

Re: circa 1946 freight car images
The second handhold on the left end of the car sides became a practice in the early 1930s.
I model 1926 and I need to remove the second handhold detail from many resin and plastic models.

Why do an interchange freight car prototype that had a hundred or less examples?
Have we completely run out of missed cars with broader multi road application?
I don’t think we have many

Re: circa 1946 freight car images
And wouldn't that be a violation of the Safety Appliance regulations of the 1920's ??
I am amazed - thanks for pointing that out. The shop date is clear - dated 1950.

Re: circa 1946 freight car images
For a fan of details, note the single handhold on the first car versus the double handhold on the second. These are two otherwise similar (in gross detail) cars and the picture is a great way to show

Yes, this is similar to the previous poll I did.
And at the time my friend/contact worked for a different manufacturer and had the project on the table for approval. Then he and a number of others
