Jan You may want to look at this group -- they have compiled spreadsheets of real railroad freight shippers. Can you say "information

Hello All, In researching Kadee's CG PS-1 #7115 (CG 7000-7299 blt 4/52) I ran across some conflicting information... First, the model (Kadee #5111) was produced with a silver roof and running board

Thanks Tim, that is what I am doing. I have copies of blank NKP waybills and also copies of some filled out waybills. I do have info on NKP industries from a 1944 shippers list. Just trying to get a

Tony, it would be fascinating to know if you could correlate the number of ART cars (which really surprises me!) with known traffic patterns for ART, like the annual peach crop from western

Thanks Steve, I did just join that group. I live near Frankfort and I am a friend of Don Daily who is a friend of Tony. Just trying to make my waybills as real as possible. I like the way car cards

Jan If you model the NKP, you will want to find a prototype waybill (or scan) from the NKP for your time period. Then print blanks on your computer, or whatever. I'm sure Tony Koester knows where to

The frameless "Van Dyke" ones started out as standard gauge tank cars and were converted to narrow gauge. Richard Hendrickson did an article on them in the December 1996 RMC (using a Precision Scale

I am wanting to model using real waybills or copies of real waybills of trains that are passing thru Frankfort,In on the Nickel Plate. I have some waybills but wondering where or how I would go about
