Re: Availabilty of Superior hand brakes castings ?

Re: True Scale HO sill steps
Tim,
I assume what you're thinking of is a flat etched stirrup step with
etched "fold points" that could be easily fashioned to shape?
If that's the case, it sounds like an ideal product for Alkem

Re: New HO scale 70-ton flatcar
You guys are right on all points. The current market is dominated by RTR, so
let's work toward an RTR alt std twin, PS-3, etc, etc, etc.

Re: Mineral Service on your Roads
Dave;
That explains the roasted D&H twins!! I see them in photos on the PRR.
The USGS stuff is very helpful, but what we are lacking is the detailed info
on what you provided on the D&H.

From what I understand, custom photo etched parts are only slightly
more expensive than custom decals. If you did the artwork for the etch
you might be able to run off 100 sets and sell enough

Re: New HO scale 70-ton flatcar
Hey, it's ready to run and has a *real wood* deck! But seriously, the
Red Caboose SP flat was pretty pricey, too, although one might think
the tooling costs would be somewhat less than for a house car

Re: Mineral Service on your Roads
There's a wealth of information in the USGS MInerals Yearbook - there's
current info online at http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/myb.html, but
large libraries should have back issues from years

Re: Mineral Service on your Roads
Bob;
That is interesting. Do you know where CoG sent their cars? Were there any
specific concerns that went to CoG specifically for their kaolin? Was it
used at all in glass-making, too?

Agreed. It's was the only AAR recommended-practice/war emergency
design that hadn't already been modeled in

I have been doing a bunch more reading on minerals shipped by the railroads,
