Does it have a port for the chop vac? Doug Gardner

I use that exact cabinet. I don't blast resin or styrene but use it for HO brass and it works fine. I use the grit that HF sells. When first used I found it produced to much residue in the

Matt, Based on photographs of each series I agree. Wood running boards up to the 17999. Monad is centered. Another change starting with the 18000 series is now has "Main Street of the Northwest"

Andy brings up a good point. Wasn't the use of the taller doors due to the fact that these cars were rebuilt with side sill channel stiffners? The lower door tracks were flush with this sill and

Thanks, but Ted's excellent decal only has the Silver Meteor slogan. Been there...Can anyone confirm what slogan Champ HB-8 has? thanks Stefan it has

There was a nice article in MM on modelling/upgrading the IMWX 10' 1937 AAR cars by Dennis Hitt a while back. Also some good pics on Fallen Flags of 15788 and 17497 in the as delivered scheme

Does anyone know what scheme the upcoming red caboose S-40-5 stock cars will be? The part number is RR-39002? The NWP cars are in a post 1952 scheme, and the T&NO are in a pre 1946 scheme. I'd like

Try Ted Culotta's Speedwitch site. The decals are not for PS-1's, but the slogans should work. Paul Lyons Laguna Niguel, CA

Doesn't the Speedwitch SAL set have these in it? I think it does... it has the Robert E Lee slogan, I'd be surprised if it didn't have these. Frank Valoczy, New Westminster, BC

Looking for HO Seaboard Air Line decals with the "Silver Comet" or "Silver Star" slogan for 24300-499, 24800-999 and 25300-499 PS-1 boxcar series built from 1948-52. Everyone makes the "Meteor"

Matt Herson brought up some interesting details about the 15000-17999 series of NP 10' IH 40' boxcars. I notice that almost all of manufactured HO 10' IH AAR boxcars utilize pre-war Youngstown doors

Matt: Your right. Domino's plant was not served by railcars, but its predecessor 19th and early 20th century ops were. The large National Sugar operations (Jack Frost brand) across the Hudson in

The C&EI purchased the subject cars in 1945, so by the timeframe of my 1953 layout they would have been reweighed a couple of times. Does anyone have any in-service photos that can tell me how the

Schuyler and Group, For a NP 1937 AAR box car the number series should be 15000-17999. Some cars were renumbered but that happened after the cut off date for this list. The paint scheme is a
