My gosh!!!! What a complete waste of really good detail parts!!!! To think that a bunch of know-nothing, non-caring, clue-less, horn-hook using, patch-wearing, trainset bozo "vesties" will ultimately

Arnold To be fair to the people here who have always been most generous in sharing information, there are many types of questions that have been asked before and I am sure that they must be tired

I have been approached by a friend who is seeking information on the M&StL piggyback cars that were loaded in Minneapolis. He wants to track where they went from Minneapolis. Can anyone offer

Pat et all, Scale Model Supplies("the Dungeon") is St Paul also has these doors. Joe Binish

Once more into the breach: Athearn has re-released the Roundhouse single sheathed box cars. I recall these are ok for MP, T&P and WP, but my question is -- are these correct for T&P and WP with steel

Pat, I'm just speculating but it sounds like Dan is a one-man show and he doesn't want little onesie-twosie orders from small shops. Des Plaines Hobbies buys a bunch of each door, and stocks them all

I can only do the research by myself if i have acces to the archives, which i don't have. So the only info i have is out of the magazines/books i have, or from you people. That's why i'm asking these

I concur with Richard. Most of the old Red Ball/Cape Line trucks are just awful in terms of detail. John Greene brought these back from the dead and most have no equivalents... but for anything where

OK - I'd really like to see Dan succeed and have my local hobby shop carry his products. How do they obtain his currently available Superior doors?? The same info will obviously apply to other willing

Brian told me that other commitments has him holding off work on the Dalman tooling until late February. Once he resumes work, he will contact me with an ETA. Along with Dan Hall's doors, I will be

I'm not at liberty to disclose that information yet. Richard Hendrickson

Arnold, the models have the placard boards in the locations called for by the builder's original specifcations. Owners often had their own ideas about where the placard boards should be located and

Ben, Thank you very much, due to all the re-numbering of these cars it was very difficult for me to follow them through the ORER's I own you a Beer or two if you ever make it down here. Thanks

Who will manufacture the new Dalman trucks? Arnold. wrote: "slippery" in a two until

They're made of styrene, which is both less durable and less "slippery" as a bearing surface than the engineering plastics used in most HO scale trucks. But they're all we have at present. As I

The list is at the link below. These are EXQUISITELY detailed parts. You will love them. There are others in the works,

Andy, For those of us without access to a hobby shop will you or someone else post scans of the various doors somewhere so we can see which is which? You mentioned you will sell them mail order. Any
