That information, about the retrofit of the Wine door locks, explains the MP usage. Thanks. Ron Merrick

I never liked the Testors dullcoat, Walthers DDV, or even the Scalecoat flat - all were/are too amber I really noticed that the first time I used the Floquil flat and compared that Southern Rwy

Folks; How many depressed center flat cars also had a further depressed well in the deck, like the PRR F42 attached? Was this type of approach unique to PRR, or did other roads also pursue

Scaling from the photo, I get a wheelbase of 6'-9". Like I said, seems pretty long for a freight car. I think built-up arch bar trucks were outlawed in interchange between 1938 and 1941. It could be

Yes. At one time Oddball Decals made them. He printed off an ALPS printer and sometimes you would need two sets to make sure they cover. Oddballs is out of business as far as I know and has been

At one time, Oddball's decals had a nice set of Farmall decals. Steve Hile

Getting into the weeds here but should be appreciated by the list I think: Were striker castings proprietary to a vendor or the car builder? I have found a couple of styles used on USRA gons, though

Edward, There were other brands of pressed steel trucks besides Fox. Cloud comes to mind, and I think Pressed Steel Car Co. had a proprietary design (along with pressed steel archbars). IIRC, Fox
