Have any new STMFC photo sources appeared at recent shows? With lists? Was Bob at the recent prototype shows? His son? Are they considering any kind of lists? Are they offering any exceptional

Has anyone recently bought prints from Harold K. Vollrath? Have a recent e-mail address? Though mostly known for steam photos he has some nice freight car negatives. He has lists, his quality

I was a coatings formulator for many years. The linseed oil I mentioned is an oil modified polyurethane; the technical name is alkyd. When the solvent evaporates the polymer is soft and rubbery.

Thanks go to Garth Groff & Ben Hom for answering my questions on the Athearn 65 ft. gondola. It is an intriguing model, I think, but it won't fullfill my need. PRR 440575, which I believe was a G26

I looked into books on the chemistry of surface coatings. I found the book, Paint and Surface Coatings: Theory and Practice (2nd ed., Lamborne and Strives, eds., 1999) the most helpful. Most if not

When you speak of linseed oil, is it "boiled linseed oil" or "raw". Years ago when trying to refinish a gunstock I was told to use linseed oil, well, it never dried. I then learned about boiled

Jerry - Depends on who you are. Howard Zane can always find room for me if I want to be there. Same in the past for Springfield. We attended Springfield once but the 2-day drive each way

Hi Elden--Timonium happens four times a year; it is just on the north side of B-more. Unfortunately, I have been only once, and it was fabulous. However, I do have a friend who goes to every show

Ben Hom: I thought Ted also offered replacement ends for that car, but I can't find them on the Speedwitch web site now. Tom Madden

Gene Green asked: "I assume from Richard Hendrickson's post on this gondola that there is an actual prototype for the Athearn 65 ft. gon. What might that prototype be? When were gons of this length

Gene, IIRC, the Athearn 65' gondola is an AAR design from the mid-1940s that was build up into the 1960s. Many roads had cars very similar to the model, though I'm not able to name most with accuracy
