Robert, how did you know what was in the collection in the first place? Is there a catalog? Tim O'Connor

Hi Al, Sorry, "BLOT" means nothing to me. I took the Armor Officers Basic Course at Fort Knox in April and May of 1970, and by sheer dumb luck was never ordered to Vietnam. so long, Andy Andy

Al, I have no idea what "CCB" is, but since the original question from Clark was talking about my model, I can just give you a link to my photos <G>. Two Heiser M4A3s on a Bowser

Cyril, Absolutely! Look at the photo link posted by Kurt Laughlin http://lvaimage.lib.va.us/VTLS/SC/07/049.jpg The 1st-4th cars all appear to have single Sherman loads. The 5th and perhaps 6th

Andy, I was an Armored Cavalry officer in the late-60s. Ended up with a Pathfinder Detachment in VN. I was familar with Regiments, Brigades and Divisions . . . and Corps. February 1943 Signal

Ed, Emails still bouncing. Need to contact urgently. Can you send me a phone number please. Many thanks and apologies to everyone else on the list. Des Norman

Dave, A quick look makes me think the spacing of the top rib placement is different on each car. A standard vs non-standard design ???? Fred Freitas David North

Elden, You did bag these flying pellets, didn't you? Nothing like the real item for making loads for cars. Bought an old blender at a yard sale for 5 bucks and it is great at making

Folks, Where is this CCB photo of a flat car with two Sherman tanks on it posted? Also, what is CCB? I've heard of CBC's (Car Builders Cyclopedias). Al Kresse

Was there an announcement for RPC-17? Dave Nelson

No - and it's not as though we need yet more models of PFE wood reefers. The prototypes for the Accurail reefers were originally built for the Burlington in the early 1920s, then absorbed into

The early class Ga-21 (1929) and Ga-43 (1936) three bay hoppers were built to a design that, AFAIK, has never been modeled. The post-WW- II Santa Fe three bay hoppers, beginning with class Ga-73,

Elden, Thanks for your good information. It all makes sense. Do we have any good SHIPPING weight numbers for these tanks . . . vs. combat loaded weights? Al Kresse Romeo, MI

Group, Just thought I would post a follow up to my discussion about a month ago regarding the NMRA Kalmbach library and their photo collection. I ordered 216 scans (600 dpi TIFF) of various
