The word at the upper left of the reefer appears to be “CHICAGO”, and based upon a listing in the January 1910 ORER, I think we’re likely looking at a car listed by the Chicago Refrigerator Car

Hi List Members, While I am not 100% sure, I suspect this is an EMPIRE LINE boxcar associated with the PRR system, view dated 1907 https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/CO8AAOSwymtegPLn/s-l1600.jpg

Nicely done Lester. Thanks for sharing Fenton

Bruce is certainly correct! The PRR had 227,881 freight cars service in 1942 (see attached for all railroads from the SRHA archives), no other road comes close. PRR cars would have been

I have to wonder if the boat specs were to fit standard gons, given how snug they are in width and length. No use building boats that you can’t ship. David Soderblom Baltimore

I have converted a Pacific Fruit Express (PFE) Refrigerator Car into a Minneapolis & Northland Railroad Company Refrigerator due to need. The conversion included adding a respectable missing

I’ll add a couple of minor thoughts: - Vallejo says it can be mixed by rolling the bottle back and forth between the palms for at least 60 seconds. I find this quick and easy. - I usually put the

Garth, et al., Could motor surf boats, which in my day were 25 or 26 feet or so. The USCG motor lifeboats used in my time, 1960s and ‘70s, were 44 footers (and a pair of 52 footers that were used

Bill, Knowing that you have been on this list for a while, I am flummoxed by your PRR gondola comment, unless perhaps it was meant to be tongue-in-cheek? PRR gondolas were common, nationwide. They

The January 1937 floods were along the Ohio River. Among the rail traffic interrupted was the train carrying the second shipment of gold bullion to the newly opened depository at Fort Knox KY. Jim

A while back there was a modeling article on the 10 best tools for modeling. One of the ten was the small battery operated mixer from Microsoft Mark. Right they were. It is one of my most used

Friends, The larger vessels appear to be 38' patrol boats. I don't know when these first went into service, but they were still being built as late as 1944. Later they would have been renumbered into

Good advice from an avid Vallejo user. However, I will occasionally mix paint with thinner in the cup for small paint jobs, but only with lacquers or enamels, never acrylics. I put the thinner into

Oops, this wasn't meant to go to the group, but I hope it won't be a problem... Many greetings Johannes Modeling the early post war years - now up to about 1954 Gesendet: Donnerstag, 25. März

Victory! :-) Great pics, many thanks. A single car (at least if it's not that much a really special car type) is not much of a problem for me - I have two general rules: 1. never say never!, 2. (too)

You don’t see many B&O M-12 class boxcars in old photos. They were built in 1902 and one of the minor classes. B&O updated the design for the M-13 class. Eric Hansmann Murfreesboro, TN

Clark never mix in the paint cup as paint goes around needle and that does not mix well with paint and thinner added above. Always mix in another container - I use a large measuring spoon. There are
