Several years ago, I was asked to do a weathering clinic in Spokane, WA and naturally I brought along some of my built up models - making it almost like a mini RPM meet. After the clinic, and as I was

Denny, Your suggestion is very courteous, and overly worded. These days, if a sign has more than five words, it will probably be ignored by many people. How about a small card by the model that says,

This is an interesting thread. Personally, I would no sooner pick up someone else's model without permission than I would fly to the moon. Even when permission would be or is forthcoming, I still

I'm doing the 103W as a USAX car, and am about ready to letter it. In reviewing the kit (RMJ 4/96 p 56), Richard Hendrickson used Walthers decal set 131380. Walthers no longer catalogue their own

Howdy!      Have the 1941 volume.  Will try to look up the car today.  Having missed part of this discussion, if you want a scanned copy of the article for modeling purposes contact me off

Except that it really doesn't matter if you are the world's most accomplished scratch builder, and the model in question is a damaged Blue Box kit put together in two minutes by a actual five year

Does the Atlas 1932 C&O car have the Climax roof? Bill Welch

I believe the Climax roof from Sunshine Models kit 38.1 may work. It's for a SP B-50-15 boxcar. Glad to see someone has a different topic for discussion. Larry Sexton From:

I have a waybill for C&O 12889 and wish to model the car. In 2005 and last October (2009) there were some discussions about C&O's 12000-series auto box cars. From those discussions, I understand

Jerry, if you do UP cars here is a problem I ran into lately: there is a dearth of UP reweigh/lube dates for the middle 1950's up to 1965, when the practice of reweigh stencils ended. I've been trying

Nah, it's an ego thing. Each of us fancies ourself an expert modeler, but that's always relative. Compared to Ted's models, my best ones look like they were done by Quasimodo on a bad day. Most of us
