My compliments for an innovative “rebuild” of what most would deem a very outdated model to a first class model. It is hard to believe its origins when looking at the in-service pictures.

Hopefully this helps. About 1967 as the Centennial Decal is on the side. William Sharpe Hamilton

Does anyone have a photo of a CN (or CP or TH&B) slab side covered hopper in potash service they could share? I need it for weathering. Preferably in the mid-50s, but I’ll take a later one if

That door issue happened a couple of times. They did a 50' C&EI box that had Youngstown doors, and needed Superior. Fortunately, I had some in the stash. Right now, I'm building a CMO 40' 4-4 end

Branchline did two runs of the PRR X43b. The first run had the correct Superior doors. The 2nd run included incorrect Youngstown doors, or at least my set did. Fortunately I was able to get the

This is an easy part to coble together. I got the idea from an article in Prototype Modeler a long time ago. I made a door like this for a GN double sheathed box car. You have to guestimate the

Previously on this list, modelers shared their techniques for adding the Keeley hooks to box cars. The link below will take you to an upcoming auction for one of the cans. The listing has plenty of

BTW - those two first photos of the SAL double door car were the pilot model for this year's Shake-N-Take project, presented by Steve Hile. For those not familiar, this is an annual event at the CCB

Here are a few overview shots I took. There are much better ones in the March issue or RMC. Unfortunately, this limits you to just the stuff I like best... Brent Dr. J. Brent Greer Dr. J. Brent

yadda yadda yadda... so where are the photos?? :-P Lighting is often terrible at RPM meets. One favorite was a Naperville RPM display room with large south facing windows, lots of natural light Tim

I assumed it was a joke. But sarcasm is certainly possible. Tony Thompson

I just listed three items on eBay. If you're interested please take a look. Thank you! Item #: 115268098339 Item #: 115268085673 Item #: 115268080726 Clark Propst

For what it's worth, let me put this one to rest right now. As one of the organization team for the Prototype Rails events, there is certainly no ban on photography in the model display rooms. There

OK, never mind, I withdraw my question. I'm probably working on too many cars at once. I believe I was looking at a different car when I realized the doors weren't the right ones. Most embarrasing

No. Whoever wrote that comment was either being sarcastic or misinformed. Hard to tell on email sometimes. Brian J. Carlson -- Brian J. Carlson, P.E. Cheektowaga NY

There is no such rule. I attended two meets and took many photos, as did people around me. Dave Owens
