I recently completed a pair of WP/PFE R30-9 rebuilds and used AK interactive Light Rust #11105. This is an acrylic much like Vallejo. I found this to be a very close match to a painted Red Caboose

John Thanks, I have a bottle of diluted Dullcote that’s had a few drops of Black and Tan (my computer thinks I’m discussing a beer mix and keeps adding capitals). That’s the only ‘fading’

Well done Charlie, great paint match. And nice looking car Fenton -- Fenton Wells 250 Frye Rd Pinehurst NC 28374 910-420-8106 srrfan1401@...

Awesome! Truly—this is beautiful. How’d you fade the sides? What kind of treatment did you give to the roof? John Golden

I have several black GM&O war emergency hoppers from Proto 2000. I would like to remove the lettering and replace it with Illinois Terminal decals. I have tried soaking the lettering with solvaset

I need one too for a tall Mather car. Scott McDonald

I’ve had this RTR car for a while and just corrected its most serious flaw. Only 5400 had the black doors; the remaining cars in the series doors matched the sides. I mixed up some TruColor CB&Q

If I remember correctly, years ago I read an article about a modeler who glued similar old cardboard sides onto plastic box cars after sanding off rivets and such. Doors, grabs, and ladders were then

A friend gave me one of the subject kits. In the box are 5 sections of "tube" for the body of the pressure tank, and 2 ends. There are also 3 small "manways", and a number of straight resin strips

Hi there, I'm working on a Red Caboose R-30-12-9, and its time for paint. If any of you have landed on a Vallejo mix for a faded PFE orange, I'd appreciate hearing what colours you used. Rob

I remember the Varney paper side kits that my father would buy for me at $1.90. I am not much smarter now than I was then but I could not figure out why the wood frame that you built up would not

Yessir when I switched interests from Lionel to HO in 1956 AHC used to run full page ads in MR and I think those kits were about $0.98 per kit or $1.25 with Silver Streak metal trucks. Those were
