... will do resin freight car builds for hire? Contact me OFF LIST if you are interested. I have about 3 dozen still in the box - mostly Sunshine - and time is more important than money.

Bob, Thanks for this link - and all the others you do! This one is clearly a case of someone who had 'just one job' and didn't do it right (placing and stacking and securing the barrels)

Clark, Use a triangular hobby file to cut a very small groove across both ladder verticals (rails?) and the rungs will sit right where you want them to ...

Thanks to everyone who has responded. It has been a big help. Chuck Cover Santa Fe, NM

I found some wood doors 1 1/2 that is to turn my last kit into the CN car Tim provided a photo of. I believe Black Cat makes decals? Clark

I've added both plastic and wire bits. Next is to flesh out the underframe and lastly add the ^#@* ladder rungs.

For additional detail, attached is an entry from a CNJ 1940 freight car diagram book. This covers some of the 36-foot box cars in the CNJ 11500-13499 series. Many cars were also rebuilt with Hutchins

Thanks for the clarification on the CNJ car! This project I’m working on will be a Milwaukee car, from subsidiary CTH&? (can’t recall the full name off hand) One photo in the Milwaukee FC color

Yes l would have to agree the carbide bits are very brittle. Another modeller was surprised l'd managed to drill any holes without breaking them.

Clark, I’m uncertain about the direction of your present build photographed with the Hutchins roof and 7/8 ends. If you are planning on modeling a CNJ 18XXX series of single sheath cars, they

My apologies for the less than stellar photo, but this is CNJ 12335, a 36’ DS car, with wood door. Billy Dale

I've been using these carbide bits but when I bought them from e bay a few years ago they were much less expensive. They are brittle as h... and if they break off you better drill another hole.

My recent experience with the Gyros #78 drill bits I bought through Amazon was not good. They broke on the second hole I drilled with each bit. Earlier purchases of Gyros drill bits were ok as they

And the furthest flat car has a deep and distinctive fishbelly shape - anyone recognize it ? On 7/7/2022 11:55 AM, Bob Chaparro via groups.io wrote: -- Tim

The near flat car looks interesting. Could it be a PRR car? The lower edge of the fishbelly side has a reinforcement (?). It seems to have 15 or 16 stake pockets, so

To get the right size drill for a task such as installing grab irons l first look on the packet for recommendations as to what size to use. I visually compare the two then drill a hole in scrap
