Dean Payne asked: "When did the Railway Express (X29) scheme date from? Didn't they have dreadnaught ends as well? That would be a nice combo..." Dean, see my article in the April 2004 issue of TKM

I could only imagine the fallout from that one :-) Todd Horton

I know I promised to shut up before, but... That 1961 ORER page that I mentioned earlier listed the PS-1s as having a 10' 3" inside height. Is an extra two inches of floor board thickness

Phil, Check the center sill as the car numners were stenciled there. Greg Martin

Phil, that would be a neat shot to see. Maybe even a possible candidate to send to Kadee for a model. Todd Horton

Twofer:Generally the car number would be located on the frame almost in the center of the car.I have a color shot of an all green PS-1 that I took.These were painted solid green after the Rutland

Brian, Ed, Jeff, Garth, all... I always enjoy hearing how where cars go and why. This thread turned on the light bulb in my dim mind and reminded me of a photo that I have seen in print, which

Dean, Saw some kits at Granddads hobby in Springfield Virginia. Chuck Hladik
