Hi, A question. Does this list allow us to offer items for trade or barter (not sale)? On my other lists they often list items for sale, but I have some trucks I want to trade. Phil Lord

Mark Feddersen is another one of those guys from Iowa, NE Iowa this time, near Waterloo. And there was indeed a copy of 1988 MM open to an article Mark wrote. The article was how he used an Athearn

I am looking to paint the Sunshine Mini kit for MP mini-kit for the MP 34113-34262 boxcars. The instructions say to paint the car entirely oxide red. Does anyone have a good match for the MP Oxide red

Jeff is referring to the "Gorilla Pod" I brought to Naperville. I highly recommend it for no-flash indoor photos -- many of the photos required 1/2 second or longer exposures. I first saw one used on

I believe those trucks are made by Model Power. They are available from Walthers, et al. Rob Daniels New York, NY Tim O'Connor <timboconnor@...> wrote: Ben,

Ted, No Ls. I even thought about resin patterns years ago but that underframe is work and at that time no one could do a tank body. There have been various rumors from time to time that someone

Though most other Santa Fe tank car classes have been modeled in brass, the Tk-L class isn't among them. With its corrugated cast steel bottom sheet/underframe and pear-shaped tank cross section,

Ben, I've uploaded photos of two cars John Riddell brought to the RPM meet in Connecticut last June. Note the TRUCKS -- those are the only plastic spring-plank AAR trucks out there other than

I was also impressed, especially by the multi-compartment cars. I believe the modeler's name is Mark Feddersen. He worked with Tichy kits, if I recall correctly. There was a copy of a July 1988

Last evening I attended a dinner in the Great Hall of the California State Railroad Museum, our table nestled up to the lifting injector of UP 0-6-0 (#4466, Lima 1920). Although not feeling very
