There's a partial photo of L&N 13469 in Watson and Wagner, "Emil Albrecht's Union Pacific Small Steam Power", p79. The "small" locomotive in the picture is a 2-10-2! There's a builder's photo of L&N

I thought some of you might like to see a photo (link below) of a PFE wood reefer with its original enameled emblem in 1948. As Tony Thompson wrote in his PFE book (co-authored by Church and Jones),

The correct angle is 30 degrees. Gene Green

Paul, to be prototypically correct, should not these hoses be connected to each other when cars are coupled to each other? Bill Welch

Come on Dennis, lightened up! A year ago we had NO bracket castings and all the air hoses on the market would snap off when hit, including the brass ones. A most distrubing issue for those of us

Well, there are a few other problems with this ingenious product. First the angle cock valve has the new style stamped handle, and not the old cast type that was manufactured to a different shape.

Frank, Although they are Athearn and MDC cars you might look to Cooper & Oshtemo at _www.locomotiveworks.com_ (http://www.locomotiveworks.com) They seem to have a lot of cars for Michigan and

I agree with you there Dennis... however a small file can be used to remove the rivets and other casting detail if it really matters. I'm more interested in durability myself... This is a detail

The angle appears to be about 15-20 degrees, is that right? The style of bracket looks exactly like the Branchline airhoses in their Blueprint series kits, and I'm pretty sure those also are not

Tom, So I see... it took about three minutes on a DSL connection for the animation to get to that point. Maybe someone should clue him in to show the correct arrangement in the lead-in graphic? I

Evidently High Tech Details has made as much money as they want to and are uninterested in helping past customers. I ordered several sets of their passenger car diaphragms only to find upon reading

Does any have or can point me to a photo of an L&N 12000-13499 series SS boxcar? I have TS#3 with an apparant builder photo with early style lettering but am looking for one appropriate for 50s era to

I agree Dennis, however the bracket may be more suitable for the modern cars.   Rich Christie

First a yes/no question: D&TS 1000-1299 series hoppers - USRA? And: can anyone give any leads for these? Delray Connecting 3001-3052, 4027-4032 (hoppers) Port Huron & Detroit 1001-1005, 1006-1522

Dennis, the hoses are positionable in the set with the brass hangers and eyelets. How widely used was the style of hanger HTD modeled? It looks like a forged piece - very nicely done - but was that

The only problem I see is that due to the expense of building a mold that would put the angle cock and hose at the proper angle to the bracket, neither of the hoses w/brackets do so. Looks like the

Paul, Is it Hi-Tech or Hy-Tech? Jerry Michels

Maybe six to nine months ago Hi-Tech Details first introduced their rubber HO scale freight car air hoses. I was really high on this product with a number of posts to the group about how good they
