Greg Martin led us thru the Cocoa Beach "shake-n-take" clinic on modeling a PRR X45 welded seam car in which he simulated the seames with pencils and painting. His presentation is available in the

I once worked for a man that had a truly original way of manufacturing logs for homes. He patented the ides and then spent a major portion of his work day defending the patents and applying for them

I do not know the process that either Archer or MicroMark uses, but this type of technology has been avaialable for many years. A company I sell for has been using "exploding" ink for at least a

What MicroMark is doing is also the Walmart way. Buy it cheaper off shore. So if you not going to buy from MicroMark you need to stop shopping at Walmart. Kent in KC

Because the illustrations are under the heading of "livestock". It's rule H-59. " Livestock should have plenty of air, and if in closed cars during warm weather, they should be placed adjacent to

I sort of doubt this Doug. The IC made a deliberate decision to eliminate ventilated cars from their roster by 1933 (going from 1120 of this type of car in 1911 to zero in 1933). Any ventilated

What makes you think blocking the car doors open was for transport of livestock? Do the rules specifically state anything about livestock? While we can document specific or unusual shipment of
