Re: Eastern Car Works 65' mill gondolas
I am curious if there is any prototype for the 3010 kit. None of the gons discussed earlier in this topic appear to match.

Re: Vallejo Paint Colors
I have purchased Vallejo paints at my LHS, at Hobby Lobby, and from Amazon. The Model Air formulation is not nearly as common as the Model Color, but I don't mind thinning the latter to suit.

Scott asked Bruce about Micro Mark box car red paint by Vallejo and Mineral Red replacement. I have attached a chart of my swatches. You can decide if these help answer your questions. I hope Bruce

Re: Alexander scale models
Could be off a year or two but that looks like a early 1960's Euclid scraper and this a bit late for

Forgot to mention that micro-mark carries most of the line and does a better job of stocking it than Walther's.

Re: deliver something other than livestock
Not sure if it was mentioned as I haven't gone through all the responses, but I'm pretty sure PRR class K stock cars were used to haul the (summer) tomato harvest to the Campbell's Soup

Re: Alexander scale models
Look at Alexander Scale Models.
Tomar has been sold to a west coast company
Alexander has the haunted house, school house and soon the B&O tower on sales
In the Stewart line there are many castings

I have not found to-date enough specific correspondence to have the complete story on this subject, but Bruce summarized that part correctly. Auto racks began diminishing in the early fifties

Bruce,
Thanks for posting your conversion. I have also been using Vallejo Paints and find them to be easy to use and clean. I have both an Iwata Eclipse and a Grex TG3 that I use a .5mm tip. Both

Re: Interesting PRR car.
Glad to know these odd trucks are available in 1/87. The anticipated N&W B5 coming from Yarmouth could use these also. Arguably the ugliest/most homely steel boxcar ever, these trucks will put the B5
