To heck with the website, I've got two of them right here. The paint job is indeed legit, though there are some small size and placement issues. David Thompson

FWIW The Bob's Photo book ad, in the back the December issue of TRP, asks for $2.00 shipping. Bob's shipped my copy of his milk car book to me via priority mail. Mike Carson

David: Was there a question or thread that I missed regarding the information that was posted below? Thanks. Jon

Oops. I was not clear. You mentioned 797 cars in 1942, but I show 3000-3899 in 1940, and 10000-11999 in 1942. Timothy O'Connor <timoconnor@...> Sterling, Massachusetts

Incredible coincidence, we lived in Parkchester too. I'll look for the book. Thanks Norm

Norm - I, too lived there and often watched the yards. I grew up in Parkchester. Just yesterday I purchased one of Bob's Photos new books at Timonium specifically because it had pictures of the Van

Ed forgot to mention that the NKP 15000 series had square corner ends while the 16000-17699 had W corner ends. Also, all of the 16000-17699 had Apex running boards. All of this per NKP Society

Please, before posting, search for an answer to a direct question in the freightcars list archive. In the case of the NKP series 17400 cars, you can find it in a flash. Go

I have a question regarding the RC 8015 which is one of the next kits in my "to build" stack. I know some of the NKP cars had a Viking roof and I think an Apex running board. What should the kit's

Tim: I not sure of anything. The photo is blurry. The photographer was aiming at the locomotive and not the freightcars or passenger equipment. I can't see a number clearly. I saw the
