Well Eric, I talked with one of these resin makers not too terribly long ago (certainly more recently than 10 years ago) at CCB and this person told me that if you can't see the boards from more

I’ve checked a couple early ORER listings for O&C 88280. I found the car listed in the 1915 ORER. It has a 14-foot, 3-inch height to the running board, a foot taller. BTW, the CH&D car was

Quite correct, thanks Mont. Good to know that it didn’t suffer a worse fate: Demolition! Schuyler

I blew the photo up as big as I could on a 24” monitor, in a darkened room, and can just barely make out what appear to be 100 lb sacks of flour stacked inside the PFE reefer. Looks like the

This is seen on narrow gauge cars as well... gons as well as boxcars Gordon Spalty

================== Jim, After reading your message I checked the model releases from several resin manufacturers; F&C, Resin Car Works, Speedwitch Media, Yarmouth Model

Which is exactly what I use to vent my paint booth. The article on my paint booth in a shower was published in the NMRA magazine April 2011. Nelson Moyer

And again we see a photo of wood sided cars whose boards are tight, not warped. Single sheathed yes, however even many double sheathed cars can be found elsewhere that look this good in photos.

Home depot has some bathroom exhaust fans that really move air and come with the can on the back and round exhaust hose. J. Stephen Sandifer

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned is make-up air, i.e. air supply to replace the air you’re blowing out through the booth. If you’re drawing a negative pressure in the room, you’re reducing

Schuyler, You are thinking of Quaker Square in Akron, OH. It was originally turned into a hotel with railroad theme added. Lots of steam era railroadiana, milling machinery, shipping records

Hi Guys I took an article drawing from, I think it was MR back somewhere around 1989/90 of a paint booth design to a local Heating & Air company and had them make one from the drawing.

Yes, Eric, it’s distorted but mostly horizontally. It looks very wide. But look at the car in relation to the man on the platform. It’s clearly not as tall a car as the one originally

There’s a residential reuse of silos – Quaker Oats, somewhere in Ohio. Slightly funky but I guess it works. But I’m not talking about a “silo,” but rather the large orthogonal part of

The CH&D car would become one of the B&O M-23 class by WW1. Height to running board was 13-foot, 3-inches. I suspect the camera lens has affected the car appearance. Eric

A weigh date is not clear on any of these cars, so we don’t know the approximate date the scene was captured on film. The 1911 amendment to the Safety Appliance Act pushed the Master Car

I thought about building a spray booth for years. I considered cardboard boxes, luan ply, and the plans featured in MR several editors ago. I never did build one. I splurged for the metal Paasche

This is the fan I’m using (as recommended by the MR article). https://www.grainger.com/product/DAYTON-OEM-Blower-4C445. Max 495cfm. The MR article cites 525cfm. They got 150fpm airflow thru their

Definitely cast in place - slip forming is the only process that I know of to cast storage bins of that height. Here’s a view that shows the storage bins in
