Hi Folks Here are the DS/SS/Steel splits for Illinois Central box and auto cars, 1938 to

Is anyone aware of a source for HO scale decals for Atlantic & Danville boxcars? I'd like to model one of the boxcars it acquired in the 1950s from the New York Central, using the Sunshine Kit 64.1.

Tim, Boy, I was having trouble yesterday afternoon! Those figures are national averages for 1941...not NYO&W figures. John Hile

Jim, I found my set of O scale A&D decals. They are # 134-11 from Walthers. So I reckon, lots of luck. Chuck Hladik Rutland Railroad Virginia Division NMRA L5756 **************It's only

Jim, I have a set of O scale decals for the A&D that James King gave me so that the NMRA MER might produce a "Regional" car for sale. This hasn't happened. I'll try to get up with James soon

Who was feeding NYO&W from the west at Scranton? Lackawanna? Lehigh Valley, via Austin Junction at the end of the Capouse Branch. The run was then from Scranton to Maybrook, with traffic thence

To all - The November issue (yes, I know it's August) of Analog Science Fiction/Fact has a great article on rapid prototyping, its origins, current state and possible futures. It describes a kit

John I believe the average "dwell time" for freight cars on the BRC in the 1950's was over 24 hours. So does this mean they would owe one day of per diem for each car, because that was their

Get the facts straight Tim - its state highway 17, not 7. And the O&W did owe a ton of back taxes that the state stopped forgiving when they needed the ROW for the roadway.... :>) Seriously, from

Tim, You are absolutely correct. My choice of words ("Apparently not") was a poor one. I should have said something like..."Apparently NYO&W's share of revenue was not enough to offset its total

Guys, the revenue for a 145 mile carload was not THAT small. Even if it took them two days to get the car over the road, the $5 and change per diem was more than covered by the $50 or more in gross

Without having seen the picture, I infer that the "black" cars were extra-dirty, and the yellow(-orange) patches around the reporting marks were where they'd been cleaned for legibility? Al Brown,

Denny, It is I who needs to apologize - I'd gotten so used to my "mjmcguirk@ . . ." email that I'd taken to leaving my last name off the signature block. Since we've moved to a new house that does
