Dean, No, this was 1/4" scale -- I model in HO, and lots of the Steam Shack F&C kits -- this was the same prototype though . . . Thanks, Marty McGuirk

resin kit for a CV/GTW I remembered this car still available. You might have been thinking of the Funaro & Camerlengo resin kit, but that's in HO scale. It used to be sold under the Steam Shack

Bruce Smith Almost, Bruce. It's when you see a really good shot of an interesting freight car spoiled by a locomotive blocking part of it. SGL

have to Mine was on the doorstep today too, and I echo the sentiment. The model has a neat design that will allow weight to be hidden in a false floor, as well as between the center sills. It looks

Hope it will be earlier than their PS-l, and the covered hopper. I would like a car that fits my circa May 1943 layout. Jared Harper Athens, GA

Greetings everyone, First, thanks to everyone who joined in the discussion of my question on "Autoracks". With reading the posts I realized that I hadn't introduced myself, or even signed my own

Does anyone recall if someone, somewhere along the line, has made a resin kit for a CV/GTW 1-1/2 door boxcar (the CV's 41000-series with the auto end doors). I'm trying to complete a list of

I had a member of this group cuss me, and tell me I needed to seek help for mental problems. I don't think he'd dare do that to the top members of this group, but you never know! Bobby Pitts
