Does anyone have any details on the Branchline EZ Kits? Is this based on their Blueprint tooling, but with cast-on details? And what about their "Yardmaster" series? What's the difference

Guys, For those of you wanting RPC #5 with the article on troop sleepers, you can probably order right from their website if you don't have a hobby shop nearby. They're at:

Byron, Well, there were the following flat cars rebuilt from gondolas: FGR, FGR-1, FGR-2, FGR-3, FGRa, FG27, FG27a, and FG27b. And, flat cars rebuilt from box car underframes - FXL. I don't know of

Funny how information just falls into your lap sometimes - got my copy of the February 2000 RMC the other day and finally got around to reading it. Railworks' ad on page 21 includes a picture of

The car being stolen is somewhat of a local legend--no way of verifying its truthfulness. It strikes me as kind of funny-little MC&CL swiping a car from the giant PRR. The evidence that I have that

Paul and list, There's a problem with a PRR F23 being acquired by the MC&CL before WWII. All six Class F23 cars were still in service on the PRR as late as 10-1-1952 according to internal PRR
