That would be either Joe or Steve Kocsis. We have lots and lots already scanned. More photo collections are coming. Can’t put everything up at once. Thankfully, we have a good team. Brian J.

Bob Kocsis of the DicoveRY Museum on Lee Street in Buffalo, NY showed me the two rooms (so far) the NKPT&HS occupies on the second floor of the museum and explained they are dependant on volunteers to

Hi Dave, These look like rebuilt SS cars. SAL had a series of XM-1 cars, the B-5 series, I believe, that when rebuilt, showed the bottom of the side trusses in this fashion.

Victor (and others), I would be a bit careful about using boxcar ratios created from ORER listings as the exclusive method for creating a roster. You should be looking at loads arriving on your

Many of the Single Sheath Rapido Cars are available from reputable dealers on eBay. Note that some have K Brakes and some have newer AB Brakes. That may affect your era. When Rapido first put our

This is my first post to this group. I have been modeling off and on for the past 50 years. I model the C&O in 1952. Before last month, my feelings on boxcars were that they were either 40' or 50'

Thank you, Charlie. I enjoyed building the Tichy kits and adding the proper extras. The Westerfield decal sets make it easy to letter for the 1926 appearance, which is close to as-built. I also

Many thanks, Paul. I just uploaded photos and text for an in-depth weathering blog post. It should appear overnight to enjoy with your breakfast. Eric Hansmann Murfreesboro, TN

Thank you, Fenton! I use Prismacolor 10% cool grey pencil for most of the chalk marks. I find it easier to add them after the weathering wash and Pan Pastels have been applied. I just need to keep the
