I may have some and will look thru my collection. -- Thanks! Brian Ehni

I am working on the C&NW color guide for Morning Sun. I envision a two-volume set with 250 to 350 images in each. In addition to the freight and passenger cars, maintenance-of-way equipment and

Gene, I was just looking at my Color Guide collection the other day and thinking "Why the heck hasn't anyone done a C&NW book?" :-) Most of the books contain a wealth of photos from the 1960's

The PRR acquired at least one former SFRD reefer (not sure of the class) for ice service at I believe it was Trenton. (A photo of this car has been published in several books.) This reefer was used

Let's take a poll. Well, it would probably be more accurate to say, "I'd like some feedback." I am working on the C&NW color guide for Morning Sun. I envision a two-volume set with 250 to 350

Hello Mark, Glad to be of help. We have a nice close up slide of car #27471 from Michael Bradley that shows the left side gusset. The gussets look similar to some that are used on the later 50

List, Thank you to all of you who have responded to my query regarding this car. This car is a very good example as to how complex the identification of private owner tank cars can be due to the

Hello Sam and Ed, Thanks for the information; this was exactly what I was looking for! Do either of you know of any good pictures showing the door gussets? I found a photo of RI 27560 on Fallen

Mark, The 500 RI PS-1s built in 1963 were numbered 27350-27849, built circa October. Pullman-Standard lot number is 8847. The Illinois Railway Museum has the correspondence files for cars built

I would second Jon's wish in spades. It is increasingly evident to me that critical freight car modelers are choosing the semi-scale wheels as their standards. It is very painful to purchase fine

Hello Jim: The issue with a template for what I am thinking of is that the layout and spacing of rivets varies from prototype to prototype. Also, you then impart the dreaded hand drilling element

Ted, Wouldn't it make more sense to have some "rivet spacing templates" with different spacings of the line of holes on them. And have them created on a CNC machine. And you lay them over the car

In addition to Eds' information the following is from one of our diagram books. The page for this car has been copied a zillion times so some of the road numbers are hard to read. Also note the

List, After yesterday's thread on the DA tank car dome and its uses, I went home and dug out the partial diagrams I have for three classes of Southern Pacific tank cars, one of which (O-50-13) can be

This is the address to see a fantastic rivet embossing machine. http://www.galtran.com/PRR_L2_Construction_Information/Rivet%20Machine/computer_controlled_rivet_emboss.htm Marcelo Lordeiro

Brian, please make them available without wheels... It isn't just a matter of cost. I have no use at all for .110 wheel sets anymore. (I have a lifetime supply of them as they come with most kits.)

Ooooo, an outdated standard rears its ugly head again. Brian, could I convince you to adopt the "Athearn standard" .295" centerplate height that almost everyone in the industry other than Kadee and
