Bill, Micro-Mark sells the same stuff for less under their "SameStuff" label. And a similar, and equally effective, plastic adhesive is sold in 1 pint and larger quantities by plastic

Am looking for Volumes One, Two and Three of Union Pacific Modeler. Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how I might find them? Amazon and eBay haven't worked (yet?). A Google search reveals

I have seen some posts on Military Modeling sites alluding to Tenax 7R, which was distributed from Hohenwald, TN disappearing from the market. (I wonder if I am the only person on this list that has

While I am seeking answers on the arrangement of brake components I might as well toss this question out. Does anyone know of a good > photo for a Royal Type F Brake Regulator? Thanks again in

On the ex-traction line Claremont & Concord in New Hampshire, in order to deliver a 50-foot car to the Coy Paper Co. in West Claremont, the crew had to remove the knuckles from the locomotive (GE

I noticed while doing a Santa Fe RR-23 refer that the brake pipe (from the triple valve to the trainline) did not follow the "standard" (shortest distance between two points) path. > It rather went

I suspect 50' box cars might have not been able to remain coupled to one another on those Bronx Terminal 90 foot radius tracks. The EMD SW1500 switcher will operate on a 70 foot radius -- but only if

Steve, I actually agree with you. I suppose I should mention that I'm the guy responsible for the Accumate PROTO:HO coupler, which has the pivot .176" [4.47mm] from the end of the box (striker) and

Dennis-- The point that I am raising by citing the Bronx Terminal RR. is that prototype cars with conventional draft gear, couplers, and kingpin to pulling face dimensions, could be handled, coupled,

Guys I have throw together a quick website for the Central Ohio Prototype Modelers Meet. It can be found at http://home.rr.com/salguy Please make plans to attend. Denis

OK, Dennis. I got it. But.... still a matter of confusing nomenclature (at least to me): wouldn't this be a short-swing coupler "head" rather than just the knuckle alone? (:-) Denny Denny S.

I was finally able to upload to the Files. I had a software problem which is now fixed. The file name is: Haskell & Barker C&WI Gon I made this Dwg when I was about 14. I thought it was going to
