Dave and group, Someone finally mentioned the good old simple Paasche H. Thank you. I have been painting with that model... the same air brush... for over 35 years. I have found it to be easy to use

At one time I belong to Div.6 of the MCR of the NMRA. We had a large modular layout at the Ohio State Fairgrounds that was accessable to the members a couple of days a week and weekends, those of us

I believe I ran across some of this info at the State Archives in PA; the number Ted refers to is not the Equipment Trust per se but the number of the car within that Trust. Moody's will show the

Brian- I have been painting with Poly Scale for a couple of years now. Like Bill, I have been using a Paasche VL with a number 5 tip. Using the big tip seems to be crucial in getting the paint to

On the NP 50' double-door box car article I did, (late 1950s construction) RMJ changed it from the actual Details West starting point to "Proto 2000"... leaving readers to wonder what part of the

One series of D&RGW hoppers, built by Bethlehem in 1957 were built to a NYC design - they were 40' 7" interior length, with a 2,700 cubic foot capacity. 15 Exterior posts. 3 bays. Was there a NYC

Jerry, While these cars are labeled as "Bethlehem" gondola cars, they were all built by MoPac at DeSoto, Missouri. The MP cars are similar to cars designed and built by Bethlehem Steel, however, the

All, Many of us will be out of town and away from our email over the holiday weekend so please, the rest of you, don't post any messages until we all get back. Just kidding, of course. I'd like to

I was surprised by the passenger car RPC and probably would not have bought it if it was a different publication. But I am a supporter of RPC, not a customer. I'll buy whatever they sell as long as

Ed & Tim: Do you mean holes (round) or slits (for steel banding)? I have seen a lot of slits for steel banding in the top chord of gondolas on the SP, I have also seen round holes that threaded

Ted, I assume by "Trusts" you mean "Equipment Trusts." If so, perhaps the governing trust can be traced in the sundry MOODY's RAILROAD MANUALS. In the 1955 MANUAL, the Central had 21 different
