Thanks Ray, so these, as rebuilds were wood with radial roofs and dreadnaught ends? And if I could find a photo of a GM&O 17XXX series car that would work? I want to bash one but need more info.

Ray, does that suggest using Westerfield sides with new ends and a roof ought to work or do we know the height was increased? Gary Laakso Northwest of Mike Brock

These are NOT steel cars. Download the high-res image from the Library of Congress, and pay close attention to the sides: the horizontal end to body supports are a clear indication that these are

With that colour number, I am guessing that it is most likely a Sherwin Williams chip.  I will try my local SW store to see if they can supply a chip. Cheers, Greg Kennelly Burnaby, BC, CANADA --

I'm looking for photos and info on Alton Railroad boxcars in the 17000-17998 series for a kitbash. These were steel with radial roofs and that's about all I know. Charlie Duckworth posted a photo

I have been asked to explain my process to airbrush freight cars and other models. I have done my best to provide an answer in my new blog post, “Airbrushing Water-Base Paint and Tools”. I

I wonder if this is the same/similar paint used to "repair" metal roofs on houses? If you drive down I-81 in VA, can see many houses in the rural areas on the southern portion with painted roofs.

Brian, I doubt if it is on Xfinity - it's old fashioned - over the air Low Power WRTN [formerly WKRP]. I think the E/I are broadcast @ 9AM & other times [station too lazy to provide a schedule] - I

For me, the tells on the roof are the rib nearer the end of the car than other designs; it goes under the laterals, and the faint stiffeners in the center of the panels. I can't say

I don’t know how common they were; to be clear - I didn’t know the radial roof on these cars was a Hutchins dry lading. I’m wondering how much difference in appearance there is between the

What is the date of this photo? 1943 sticks in my mind. The RI car was built either in late 1941 or early 1942. The roof paint hasn’t lasted too well. Steve Hile

It looks like a fun project! Were Hutchins Dry Lading roofs common in the radial (vs. flat) designs? Scott Haycock

First time i’ve seen anything like that - thanks for posting this Scott. The car in this photo is on my project pile right now; working to bash components from Westefield etc. This detail just

Rob, I can't say about the Alton, but I did some research awhile back on this type of roof for another project. They were not galvanized, but painted with a 'galvanized' paint. I've attached a color

so . . . never looked at that image so closely before to see the signs of overspray you mention Scott. I have always just viewed it as the car colour reflecting the sky light. Now, suspending that

I’m on Xfinity in Nashville. How do I access that? Thanks! Brian Ehni (Sent from my iPhone)
