I saw that W&R Enterprises imported NP truss rod boxcars at one time. I am looking for some prototype info on the the car if anyone has one or knows about them. What year where they in revenue

I have received some new assembled cars from branchline trains. NC&StL 40' "Dixieland" yellow stripers, built 1957. Have 4 #'s .......$20.00 ea BL#114224 delivery scheme SP&S 40' Billboard SPS

dang! i put the used-up baking soda and alum oxide in the garden to keep the slugs off the marijuana plants! now what am I gonna do? next thing you know i'll have to take down the meth lab... Tim

cars (without the cast deck supports)< What I find strange about BLI (others also) is that they seem unwilling (cost of tooling?) to make changes to the molds for a different release that then

The world is getting really stupid. Using Baking Soda as an enviromentally sensitive abrasive on concrete???? Well, according to the news last night we won't even have that much longer.... a State

Accupaint Primer is a different formulation than their regular paint, which is necessary to adhere to brass and helps with resin too. I have used Accupaint over other paints used as primers too, but

List, In the ongoing discussion of the forthcoming New York Central cars, I somehow missed any mention of just which boxcars we're talking about. Does anyone have an idea of what NYC lot numbers

Yes. Rich Orr

Larry, I have no doubt what you are saying is correct. The EPA would prohibit the use of Aluminium oxide for an outdoor cleaning where the object and the surface beneath the object are not enclosed

I'll second Denny's observations here. The best primer is a base coat of the color the model is to be painted. That's been my experience with solvent-based paints like Scale Coat and Testor's

All correct, and thanks for the clarification, Ted. I've never been able to keep all those guys straight in my head. Richard Hendrickson

Ed, Yes. They have also announced a PRR (and N&W) H32 covered hopper (but that project may be stalled due to poor reservations). Given that the BLI web site now rolls into the PCM web site, and

I think Richard got the names a little mixed up as keeping track of these things is not easy, given the structure of the companies (see next sentence.) Sun is a company that does consulting,

The EPA made the company doing the Statue of Liberty use Baking soda. Of course you can buy Aluminum Oxide because it is used for things other than blasting but they do not come into your home and

I have a one horsepower compressor with storage tank; for general cleaning, I usually spray the grit at 20 psi, or a little less; if I'm just trying to remove some lettering (i.e. change the car

Doug, I sandblast all styrene models before painting . I use 40 lbs pressure and the finest grain available. The primer is used not to make the model gray ( you can find primers in other colours )

Larry, BS! (that stands of course for baking soda, not the other one) <VBG> I can go to Harbor Freight and buy Aluminum Oxide by the 25 pound tub! Regards Bruce Bruce F. Smith Auburn,
