Doesn't matter if it's an old style NMRA member (vestie) or a plain old member (POM) at our local train club. We car builders are a small minority. My club has about 100 members now, with most members

Hi Hugh, I guess I'm with you. I have about 60 resin cars, passenger and freight, from most of the producers, with all of them except one (waiting for replacement decals) built and on the layout. Too

"C of G boxcars what came" I should have checked what I typed "C of G boxcars that came" should be more like it Todd Horton

Clark, the Champ decals leave a lot of be desired. The artwork isn't correct other than the spelling. Microscale has an excellent set for C of G boxcars what came from artwork provided by the CGRHS.

For what it is worth, I have built about sixty resin freight car kits, all HO, for my model railroad. Right now I have no unbuilt kits. I build them when I buy them. HTG

Clark Propst asked: "I've got a set of old Champ CofG box car decals. I checked Ed's list showing several number series, but my RMJ only had a photo of the door and a half car. Anyone have a photo of

I have finished a Northern Pacific stock car, NP, 80163, an upgraded Proto 2000 kit. Upgrade includes wire grab irons, uncoupling levers, retainer line and removal of molded plastic in areas between

Like my friend Jerry, my first resin kit was the UP 50' box. Only after I built and painted it did I realize it was way too old for what I was then planning. So the car is still here, still sitting

I'm sorry, Bill: posted where? Elden Gatwood

Based on the scarcity of modeling photos posted here one can only surmise there is very little wire bending, drilling modeling going on. Bill Welch

Thanks much for that, Ben! My first resin kit was the Westy PRR G22. I built it into a late-era MW car in yellow. I did the lettering individually; what a labor of love! Elden Gatwood

Tim, A more interesting statistic might be how many of Al's (and Martin's) kits were actually assembled, and how many still languish in various "unbuilt" piles. ;-)

Hmmm, I was certain I bought some of the original Westerfield kits before 1982. My first kit was the UP 50' boxcar. Jerry Michels

Well, it's taken a couple days to find the article I knew was written on modeling these cars, and now the OP seems to have disappeared, but might as well get the info out there... These are

What became of the Champ artwork? Scott McDonald

Thanks very much Tim, you just saved me quite a bit of effort attempting to construct such a list. IIRC Sunshine produced an SRFD 50' car that came with decals. Anyone know what became of the

The Ambroid kits were # H8, All wood for an RR 10 and later.. Came w/decals but i don't have them. I just remembered a friend has a old kit I built in the mid-70's when I was a teenager. Called him
