Were are all these photos you are talking about being posted . . . . in a photo album in our group?  My server has deleted most links and won't let me into Shorpe. We had A.O. Smith in Milwaukee,

Charlie Why does it have to be non-profit? If the information is so valuable, why wouldn't people be willing to pay a small fee to use it? You're talking about potentially thousands of hours of work

Imperfect as it was, the index was an invalubable resource. The ideal would be a ProQuest style completely searchable index with pdf images of all the MR magazines... including content of photos. For

Speaking of auto frames and the Wabash...Studebaker's plant in South Bend on the NJI&I received frames from Budd in Ohio (Cleveland, maybe?) through the time-span of this list. The Studebaker National

Here is an e-mail I sent to Kalmbach Publishing Co. encouraging them to transfer ownership (and responsibility) for the magazine index to some non-profit group. I think the magazine web-site is among

Staffan, I can document that a 1950s era repainting of a PRR X31A boxcar had the undersides of the floor evenly coated with Freight Car Color since I was given a floor board. This was clearly done

Since Kalmbach Publishing owns both the search software and database, but apparently sees no value in it, I wonder if they would be willing to donate it to some not-for-profit organization, who could

Um, Mike, that would be "copyright." Tony Thompson Sent from my iPod

I agree with Bob, what a shame and a useful reference is now part of history. Happy Model Railroading, Jim Krapf Modeling the CNJ L&S Div from Treichlers to Mauch Chunk during October 1968

Steve and Bob, It wasn't until a couple of years ago that I realized that freight car wood floors were left unpainted some of the time (all the time?). Apparently the "underbody color" mentioned in

Steve, I hope Staffan will join in here, but I can share some information that I have. I have a copy of an article from Railway Age, Vol. 117, No. 6, dated August 5, 1944, entitled "Great

Group, This has been addressed on other lists, but not here. The Model Railroad Magazine Index has been taken down off the Model Railroader website. It is a shame, too, as I found it a very

Here's a little more information (at least on the East Coast) about gons. I model the NYS&W in 1949. There was a large Ford assembly plant in Edgewater(the siding inside this plant has been reported

Larry, Appreciate your reply; I'd figured as much. Given the size of the P&LE collection, it's great that even 3% of those images are online, but we can always hope that digitizing is an ongoing

Dave, Yes, I viewed hard copy photos here in Pittsburgh that aren't online. From the Pitt Archives web site at: http://digital.library.pitt.edu/images/pittsburgh/plerr.html The complete P&LE
