Re: WM hopper trucks

Ratios of Home Vs Foreign
Regarding per centages of home cars on home rails, I believe that Dave
Nelson provided us with some '44 [?] data about this some time ago. I know I

Well, let's wait until we see them before we get overly excited. Yes, the
likelihood of seeing a model of an H-70-1 is about the same as seeing a

Re: Marklin UP Freight Car update
Yikes! If you read the small lettering, the hoppers are H-70-1's and the
caboose is a CA-3/CA-4. Holy Cow!! I've wanted these hoppers for years
and now they're coming from Europe, of all places!

Sure, John. In fact, to save us both a bit of time, you have blanket
permission to quote anything I post to the freight car or STMFC lists
