Nope. I finished the book. Now it's out of my hands. But I assume that, since copies will be available at the convention, they will be offered on the website as soon as the convention is over, if

Richard, As the convention is getting close, as is the publication of the book, I have not seen any order forms from the Society yet. Any idea when they will be mailing those? Jon

Not to my knowledge, Tim, though there may have been some rare exceptions. The Santa Fe owned only a handful of water tank cars prior to the conversion of Coast Lines steam locomotives to oil burners

I STILL say that about any and all east coast (or, for that matter, midwestern) hopper cars, Ned, and you can run, but you can't hide - the footprints in the coal dust will give you away every time.

A rather well known case was that of an importer who offered ³O² scale N&W passenger cars (I know, off-topic, but germaine) painted with the factory spec paint. Everyone hated it because it didn¹t

I had a chance to read Ted's last two articles in Craftsman today. I like to look though the Landmesser freight car list and keep track of magazine photos of cars from the list. Ted used a picture

The Atlas cars have rivets. The AC&F Berwick-built cars were welded in the 68500 - 68999 series were welded. The Atlas car was supposed patterned after a PRR G31 but they didn't quite get it

Hello Can anyone please tell me if the Atlas/Peterson gondolas are accurate for these DL&W cars? Thabks, Len Allman Friend of Phoebe and Smiley __________________________________ Do you

Well now, Richard is finally coming around. He used to say that about any east coast hopper. Now he is limiting his prejudice to N&W hoppers. Running and ducking, Ned

RE: [STMFC] Cabin Painting InstructionsSo now you know why I chimed in about going to different stores. You are suggesting "don't look in a box", but to look outside the box. I'm simply adding to

What makes anyone think that freight car paint didn't vary in color from batch to batch from a specific manufacturer? I am thinking of 2 colors, freight car red (iron oxide red) and black. Didn't

I dont' know if this has been covered, and I don't really want to extend this thread but I thought this was of note: I know in the world of miniatures (especially military models and figures) that

Well...I thought...at least I don't have to read messages about the Outlander RR...never heard of it anyhow. Oh...what the hell, might as well see why so many messages about this particular

I dunno... I kinda like the old "dartnot" since it conveyed something about the design. How about "Garksnot" or "Urksnot" for this new end?

Me too; but what would be really helpful, I think, is if, perhaps on Ted's web site, photos were posted that depicted the various types of freight car ends for the period of interest of this list,

An addendum to Eldon's and my post: there was an additional revision ("A") issued 12-8-61 due to another redesign of the lettering and a another revision on 1-12-62 ("B") which refers to "painting the
