I missed the start of this thread, but I have just finished a Milwakee Box with a eight rung latter. The kit intends for you to cut and splice two of the provided latters together.....Best Jim

Frank, You might check with NMRA's Kalmbach Library. They have a substantial collection of kit instructions. CJ Riley --- parkvarieties <parkvarieties@...>

I am in need of a full size copy of the instruction sheet for Ambroid's 1 of 5000 #10 kit Speedy Poultry & Reefer car (not the Livesay car). If anyone can make me a copy, I'll send them $1.00

I used Detail Associates 8 rung ladders for the ATSF car and DesPlaines Hobbies Canadian 8 rung ladders for the MP car. Just cut off the stirrup steps from the Canadian ladders. I also used the

I made an impulse buy this week at the LHS, and picked up a Mather Muncie & Western Boxcar. I've found 160 of them in my 1955 ORER but they are not in my 1959 ORER. Can someone please check a late

Garth, My published PS-1 lists include only cars built by P-S and delivered to the railroad, private owner, or government agency. B&O built 400 cars from PS-1 kits at Dubois, Pennsylvania in 1957

Thanks Richard, I got the ladders right (as far as the number of rungs anyway), I will change the brake wheel when I get home. I ended up with a P2K "Quick Kit", so I had to pop most of the work they

Garth, These references were quite a few years ago. Updated rosters of 40' and 50' PS-1s are on the STMFC web

Ed, Thanks for the link to the roster. I found D&LW 35000-35199, NH 34500-34999 and NH 35000-35999 with a 10' IH. There are no B&O cars on your list, so I assume that they were built by the B&O from

Not the wrong list if it is on a baggage or mail car. Doug Brown

Jim, Good data on the B&O cars, but 10' IH PS-1s were hardly unique to the B&O. A look at Ed Hawkins' published rosters in the old DING and RMJ will show you several other groups of 10' IH cars.

B&O picked up a number of 1956-built Ann Arbor PS-1 boxcars during 1964. They became class M-67a (with 6-foot door openings) and class M-67b (with 8' door openings). They were acquired by B&O from
