Thanks Ian and Ed, it looks like I can be safe with the Mather Muncie and Western car, and yes it was a purchase inspired by having run the incorrect Train Miniature car (I think it was TM) on a

Really? COOP-a luh here. Not so OT, as someone pointed out. CLEAR-story. SGL

Brian, the 10/57 ORER shows 75 cars in the series 1201-1275, so this should render the 7/57 listing moot (I think I have that issue around here too, but obviously not on the shelf where it

Tim the 125 boxcars on the MWR in 1959 were steel cars in the 1301-1425 series, and leased from the Chicago Freight Car Leasing Co. They were not Mather cars. I don't see any Mather Box cars listed

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

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
