Much earlier since it’s a builders photo of a 1940 built X38. Great pic!! Brian J. Carlson

My now gone friend Jack Parker, who lived and breathed the Northern Pacific RR, detailed an O scale A5 NP brass Northern 4-8-4 back in the 1990s. He made the boiler running boards as exact as can be

Nice photo... is there one of the side of the car? And my attention was drawn to the two tenders (from class L1s?) in the background. Makes me think that this photo was taken in the early (pre SK)

Yes, it looks really good! Maybe an odd question here: When the black car cement was applied, would the galvanized running board and corner platforms not be on the car, but installed after the car

I could see a few new railroad modeling uses for those makeup swabs. Larger than the largest tiny paint microbrushes for adjusting weathering powders and not as clumsy as using the standard bathroom

Bill, Here are a pair of Army crawler cranes loaded onto a flat car. Photo is from the US Signal Corps Archive, Port of Embarkation, Norfolk, Va. It is important to note that many of the photos
