Re: Accurail single sheathed box cars (was CNJ 12000 series)
Thanks Dennis, I should revise my statement to say I knew there once was a 1 1/2 casting, but didn't know what it was for or if it was still available. I found one in my 'Door drawer' I could use to

Re: PRR 751202 Palmer, Alfred T., photographer Library of Congress c?1941
It's not all scrap in the photo. The pile in the foreground is pig iron, and a nice reference for color and appearance of a load of pigs.
Does anyone recognize the car partly visible at far left?

Clark, I checked my books and don't have a photo of a CN 40 ft OB DD car. The photos of all my single door cars have fishbelly U/F's if that is a help.

Re: Model Realistic Freight Car Loads, by Keith Kohlmann
A nit -- My Uncle bought a "1964" Mustang and I recall seeing contemporary photos (in magazines)
of the "1964" Mustang. I guess they just called them that because it was 1964.

Re: Model Realistic Freight Car Loads, by Keith Kohlmann
The caption is incorrect. There were no “1964” Mustangs. All first year Mustangs were sold as 1965 models. Introduced five months prior to the 1965 model year, they have been called “1964 ½”,
