I can't find any photos of -23 -24 -25 or -26 with lowered tackboards. Tim O'Connor

There is a short article, in Model Railroader I think, but I couldn't find it in the database either. I have a printout with the model I started, but it's boxed up on a shelf. I'll look for it

Hi Rod All of the CDLX cars were of type "T" (tank), and all were westbound empties with destination "SP". They were on four separate trains with dates 10/9/1938, 10/14/1938, 10/17/1938 (two cars,

At how much per copy, Tim? They imported the ERIE horizontal-rib hopper too, but at something in the neighborhood of $110.00 each. Rather puts a crimp on a full train's worth! Over time

Les, the modified needle is a good idea. I sometimes have to make several applications because an insufficient amount of ACC has been picked up by the sharp end of the hat pin I use. I bought a card

Larry, Thanks for compiling all of this data for the group. As a GN enthusiast, I find the relative lack of GN cars on the UP in the Thirties interesting. I wonder if this is due to the economic

Hi Everyone Here is a summary of a Union Pacific Freight Conductors' Train Book recorded by a U.P. conductor named Fitz from September 16, 1938 to October 24, 1938. During this time period Conductor

Ron Merrick wrote: I generally agree with your observation on PFE cars, Ron. I don't have references at hand, but it's my recollection that the lowered board position was only required for new

Were any PFE cars from classes R-40-26 and earlier modified with lower tackboards after 1954? I've seen a fair number of photos of these cars and none of them show this for either side or end

Although I'm sure it had several names, there was a pneumatically operated "squeezer" in Southern's Charlotte yard many years ago that shoved pulpwood loads toward the centerline of the car. Since

This was discussed just a week or so ago. Sunshine did a mini kit M.1 some years ago to produce GA-21 and GA-43 using Stewart 3 bay hoppers as a starting point. You could also do a 4 bay

I have a few Official Railway Equipment Registers (ORER) listed on eBay that may be of interest including a January 1951 and October 1956 issue. Also selling John Tigges book on Milwaukee Road Steam

For what it's worth, in addition to making my own masters, RTV molds, and resin parts, I have worked closely with three resin companies, bought products from a half-dozen more, and examined personally

I have stord several brands and viscosities of ACC in a refrigerator for many years with success. They are stored vertically as a group with a rubber band around them (for stability) in one of the
