Chris, As Brian notes, no photos. Frankly, I doubt that a physical plastic shot from the new mold even exits at this time. Walthers has been bumping up their sales releases until they are occurring

The C&O Historical Society Mainline Modeler compilation is also available as a download, if your computer, like mine, no longer has a CD/DVD drive. Dave Smith

For my two cents, it certainly appears that Walthers has created what is now a third tank body for its generic underframe. They also refer to their 3 compartment car as 36'. The "original" was

No pics. Just artwork so far with a Mix of ACF and GATC lettering details. I suspect like most recent Walthers steam era rolling stock these will be poorly done but waiting to see. Brian J. Carlson

Attached are the pages out of the Walthers New Product announcement just to ensure we are all on the same page. Bruce, can you please post a link or two to photos of the new Walthers cars? I Googled

Phil, Folks, The Walthers art shows 5 radial sections (not 6 😉). The old Walthers frame is an "approximation" of a GATC frame, although certainly nothing approaching the most recent releases

The Walthers tank can't be the same prototype as the BLI because it has 6 radial tank jacket sections unlike the BLI, which has none. I've not cross-referenced the drawings to any tank car photos yet,

All- I don't know all the folks at Scale Trains but am confident that the company is lead by guys who are very proficient Model Railroaders. There is a legitimate market for what may be not

Not my list, it’s Ed Mines list from the Mainline Modeler article. Tony

Tony Your list is missing the C&EI cars -- "War Bonds" -- series 64000-64499 Also these CMO series 20000-21398 blt 1941 ACF CMO series

I have no recollection of making up that list or even seeing it. Then again, I frequently don't know what day of the week it is.. The Pere Marquette freight car book came out in 2001, long after the

Below is a picture and a diagram of the similar straight side gon. End is different, one less rib....

I don't recall ever seeing a list. Chicago & Northwestern had a lot, maybe even more than Erie. I think all of Van Sweringen roads had them - Erie, NKP, PM & C&O.

Two more cars to add to the list. NS 25500-25752, NW 47500-47999. Al Smith On Wednesday, January 11, 2023 at 04:41:14

If you are missing some, or a lot, of MM issues, the C&O Historical Society sells a CD with all of them. Doesn’t handle foldouts well, but it has the material. Jim van Gaasbeek Irvine, CA

I bought the C&O Historical Society DVD of all the Mainline Modelers. Thanks! -- Brian Ehni From: <main@RealSTMFC.groups.io> on behalf of Tim O'Connor <timboconnor@...> Reply-To:

You're always so polite. But thanks for the correction - Sorry if I judged from the artwork. I have this silly expectation that a vendor tries to accurately portray

Tim, Well, first artwork has never been an appropriate way to judge any model (just look at all of Walther's art), second, the BLI artwork actually looks pretty accurate (so I'm not sure what you are
