Hello Garth and Sally, Pretty sure the truck in that photo is a Sterling, although I don't know the specific model.

I saw it at Ron's Books, but I'm sure there will be others selling it. https://www.ronsbooks.com/RAILWAY-PROTOTYPE-CYCLOPEDIA-VOL-35_p_30444.html Paul Krueger Seattle, WA

I missed it, too, if it was announced here. I do want it. Does anyone have info on ordering it? Richard Townsend Lincoln City, OR

I wonder if the knurling on the little Starrett irritates yer fingers: maybe put some heat shrink on it? If it doesn't work out, it's easy to remove. Ed Edward Sutorik

Evidently, there is a new volume of Railway Prototype Cyclopedia coming this fall. I'm surprised I didn't see this mentioned here. Maybe I missed it? Paul Krueger Seattle, WA ========== Volume 35 is a

It might well be, without numbers it's hard to tell. The second car also has hatches but they are flush to the roof; it's the extra hardware that is the clue. Santa Fe had many thousands of stockcars

Is the car right behind the tender the same type at the one in the foreground? The roof covers look the same. Pat Wade Santa Barbara, CA.

Yep, that 30432 is what I have. It does hold very small drills and pins very well. Schuyler

These are Santa Fe stock cars that are convertible to coke hauling when livestock shipping was not in season. Santa Fe had thousands of various classes of convertible cars. They are well covered in

Looks like a stock car with overhead bins for silage. Thanks! Brian Ehni (Sent from my iPhone)

I have some of this type as well. I don’t like them as they don’t tighten well. Thanks! Brian Ehni (Sent from my iPhone)

Ah, yes - those are the ones chuckable in something larger, like a sensitive press... I had one in my hands once, in a friend's shop[0], while I was working on the chassis of a 3.5" gauge TICH. [0]

https://silentlocations.com/2020/07/04/buster-keaton-ghosts-of-go-west/#jp-carousel-16870 I find the car in the immediate foreground very interesting. Longitudinal hatches. Spitballing here, but

I havr several of these. I'm not sure if it is the same manufacturer. I don't use them as I seem to have a degree of difficulty tightening down on the drill. Maybe it's because as my wife says

Schuyler, Try these sites for Bergeon # 30432 https://www.esslinger.com/bergeon-30432-watchmakers-sliding-ring-pin-vise-tool/

Here is the Starrett Catalog page... with all their pin vise sizes and model numbers. One document online shows the 166A design dates from at least 1938... No wonder we find them in our fathers' /

I don’t think $21.00 or so is outrageous for a quality tool you’ll use for many years. Thanks! -- Brian Ehni From: <main@RealSTMFC.groups.io> on behalf of Allen Cain

Ed Hawkins has assured me the factory paint was black ends & roof -- and here is a 1953 shot that shows a C&O PS-1 with black ends and black roof! So I guess I am convinced now.
