I'm pretty sure dickering belongs off-list. Yeesh. -- Dave Parker Swall Meadows, CA

Those kits sold for $32 new and were unavailable after 2013. You wouldn't consider a more reasonable price?

I have two Sunshine 43.1 SFRD RR-47/52 kits that are extra to my needs. $80 each or $150 for both Priority Mail included to the lower 48 states. Reply offlist if interested. Ed Pavlovic

Thanks to all who have responded. I have been able to find the instructions and data sheets for this model. Chuck Cover Santa Fe, NM

Wouldn't a conductors list be considered the train's "manifest". You could draw the nautical parallel where a ship has a manifest of all cargo and passengers. Each shipment within the manifest hs its

The fascia is really only a trim board. Its function is two fold, to provide one more layer to shed water running off the roof, and keep nails from the roofing from penetrating the car siding so close

Well, I did NOW... So Chuck's looking for one specific needle in a stack of 800,000 needles. Maybe up to 1.5 million needles. My first email stands: as STMFC is a prototype-based forum, pick a

Here’s a late 1880s 33’ 20 ton Canadian Pacific car. Drawings in the CPHA library show a similar 1890s 35’ 30 ton car with the same style of end facia. Bob Thompson North Saanich, BC
