Clark Hopper could be IC. The emblem on that box car appears to be tilted. Who used tilted emblems ? On 7/2/2022 10:34 AM, Clark

I used 5000K LED tubed with single end electrical connection. I got them from 1000bulb.com, 25 for $100. Put pigtails on that one end and you have lightsabers which are useful for not only layout

I researches fluorescent tubes in 2013, looking for 5000 K and a high CRI. I attached a table of the results. Regrettably, the inexpensive tubes are disappearing, and I can no longer find them

230000 is one of four lots of cars, as follows: the more obvious spotting features that differentiate these from regular USRA cars: - the roof is a different design - on a model, it is substantially

In addition to the Kelvin rating there is also a CRI, Color Rendition Index, which gives you an idea of the accuracy of the color in question. CRI’s for bulbs with a value of 90 or less will almost

Those are tough. All i have are conjectured observations . . . Starting with the car ahead of the caboose, the roof line is obscured by a building in the distance; i’d guess it is peaked, not

I don’t think it’s been mentioned yet, but both the PFE and SFRD orange faded toward yellow. There are lots of examples out there. Tony Thompson tony@...

Just to add to the discussion, with my last layout, I tried using stock fluorescent bulbs to illuminate the layout room, using twin tube fixtures. The light emitted gave everything a greenish look.

I think the colour sampling is a useful step. I’ve done something similar - other side of the coin - with various paint colours sold by Vallejo, AK, Mig, etc, with an eye to figuring how to mix

Here's the rest of the photo. Even I know the first car, a Pennsy X31 something or other ; )) I've also added a couple photos of the same train with an interesting flat cat behind the engine. If you

I’ve been wondering about whether to build an X23 model for a while, without ever noticing the X25 and its variants. Spent some enjoyable time looking at Rich Orr’s web pages. At 9600+ cars,

Thanks for that photo, Andy. It supports the ‘anything goes’ argument. I color samples a number of prototype and model SFRD reefers and attached the RGB codes and color dots. They pretty much

As a footnote to the discussion on buying and selling built up models here are two examples of models that I purchased from other modelers. I was extremely happy and pleased to obtain these. Bill

You are correct. My error. I am removing the post. Bob Chaparro Hemet, CA

Could the image be reversed - so the tilted rectangle might run the opposite direction? I assume you have the “not zoomed” version? Rob

Thanks for filling that in Ralph. I’ll have to add it to my list. Rob

Excellent info. I had no idea. When i think about it, i think i pulled the phrase out of a memory of a F&C Lehigh Valley kit. As for my road, which for the fun of it i’ll say is the CPR, hey, we
